Classy. I wish I had been there to see that. Having had a white car and driven it in snow I can see how that could have occured.

Talking of snow mishaps, I once nearly drove straight through a newsagents window. I was attempting to negotiate a mini-roundabout in heavy snow that hadn't has chance to be cleared properly because of the speed at which it had fallen (and caught out the council gritters).
I approached and made the turn, gently only for the steering wheel and direction of the wheels to make no difference at all. I was literally half a foot away from the kerb (and the newsagent window not far away) and gaining speed all the time (as the brakes were of no use either), when I performed a Bond-esque 90 degree slide and was suddenly pointing the right way! :)
I've not been offered any jobs as a stunt driver yet, but my mobile is always on!
