Just to put a few right, I have driven the largest, I've driven the smallest, I've had an artic slide on Ice at slow speed with 38tonnes on the back, with the road giving a bad left hand camber, for the bright sparks on here that regards this as rubbish, In ice conditions, the road becomes wet / Ice, between the Tyre & the road surface you have Ice, there is an area the the tyre does not come into contact with "The road surface" You Said Tilly, I have noticed that when trying to drive really slowly in the icy side streets it seems to go by itself. If I take my foot off the clutch and the accelerator, it just keeps going. It scares me to death. It stops if I put the break on but I don't feel in control of the speed. I suspect it's something to do with the automatic choke. Am I activating it in some way?
For some that has driven HGVs & without experience!! Do your homework.
You said Tilly, ""but I don't feel in control of the speed"" Tilly, If I'm wrong, I will certainly say Sorry, But Experience & time has taught me better.
