>drive old hyundai hatchback with no abs or traction control
>am an autistic fat bastard in the UK whos not been driving all that long (bout a year)
>want to lose weight so drive to the park for a walk in the snow

Went through the gate to the car park and the whole place was filled with rock hard, packed icy snow. The place looked like a death trap even though there were cars in there. I went to turn round this tight space with an expensive looking suv next to me that I was sliding into. Wheels started spinning and my car was stuck and was wedged in this little dip in the ice. I was rocking it back and forth like in the top gear polar special but was worried about my clutch. Wheels were just hopelessly spinning. Got out to asses what the fuck I was going to do as my only companion was a pony staring at me five feet away. Anyway I try and prod at the ice with my scraper but it was hopeless. I was also wearing trainers with holes in them so I was completely unprepared for the situation.

I got back in, I was more concerned with hitting this SUV on my left and the gate on my right than anything else as insurance in the UK is a fucking nightmare. I shifted into second and felt it go forward slightly. Lifted the handbrake to stay in that position and slammed it into reverse and managed to go back far enough just to miss the gate as well. That's the first time I've felt completely hopeless as well

Had to warn a young couple behind me pulling into the car park. I wish the tax and insurance of a 4x4 for a new driver like me weren't stupidly expensive. I'm in my mid twenties but because Ive only been driving a year they're extortionate. Fucking Starmer...

Wasn't so much that, it was rock hard slippery ice. Wheels were trapped in little dips in it and had no traction.

shoot the horse before it fucking tries to fuck with my car

carry a bag of sand or kitty litter in your car for traction. rubber floor mats can work too in a pinch. I've even used branches from pine trees.

Lad. Don't take this as an insult but you are clueless about how important the tyres are.
In these conditions you should not drive around on summer hockey pucks.
Get yourself all seasons. I have pic related and I highly recommend them.
>>
>>28802047
he lives in the UK, winter tires (or tyres) would be a waste of money and time. all-seasons are perfectly fine for his climate. I've driven the shit streets of canada on summer tires before, it can be done if you're careful, especially with a standard transmission like OP has.
>>
>>28802071
I too live in the UK (Scotland) and there are so many fucking cretins who refuse to put all seasons because iT snOws OnLY TwIcE PeR YeAR when the conditions were literally, for the past 3 years, like those in scandi/baltic countries for a month or so.
Also, don't overestimate the abilities of normgroids who grew up without fathers and who have no fucking clue on how to drive in the snow so stop saying this mantra that it can be done if you're careful with summer tyres (it can be done if you have your head screwed on properly).

Euroniggers will seethe at Americans for buying 4wd trucks and SUVs with high ground clearance and AT tires and then get their cuckboxes stuck in 2 inches of snow and not see any irony in it.

KYS. If you fags get to lump Appalachians in the same boat as left coastie cityfag liberals, then I get to call the UK part of Europe.

>>28802177
I am the president of EU and I speak for everyone in Europe. Orders were issued to publicly hang those who lump Appalachians in the same boat as left coastie cityfag liberals.

Bold of you to assume I am not literally trying to save up for a 4x4 so I don't get my cuckbox stuck in 2 inches of snow. I've wanted an SUV since I knew what a car was nigga
>>
>>28802246
Then why did you buy a cheap cuckbox instead of a cheap SUV?

HAHA I imagined this exact video when the situation happened
>>
>>28802285

Because as a new driver in the UK, if I had of done that I'd be paying £5000 insurance a year and a further £195 road tax and other stuff. Plus this "cuckbox" is my first car I only bought to learn in.

The novelty wore off right there
>>
>>28802844
If there's one thing I've learned in life, don't settle for something you know you'll be unhappy with just to save a buck. Just go with the thing you actually want from the outset and find a way to make it happen.
>>
>>28802860

I hear you but in the UK it really isn't viable for new drivers (even in their mid twenties like me) to buy a 4x4 as their first car. The premiums on insurance as so bad you would be shocked to find someone who wasn't born with as silver spoon in their mouth driving an SUV. I really wanted to learn how to drive so I got the best option I could as I am broke as fuck. My dream affordable car is called a Dacia/Renault Duster.
