It all boils down to the utter stupidity of the operators.
Often, even before they start driving it. Saw a Porsche Cayenne stuck on a flat road recently. It had those ultra low aspect ratio, wide tyres with very little tread. No grip at all in the light dusting of snow - at least, not with the driver concerned at the wheel. If it had been a Carrera with those on, the driver would probably have stayed at home. Or maybe not. ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
