Looks like what i had to go to work in on wed and thrus. I'm a driver too. Take it slow be very careful and dont use the brakes to slow you down if you can.

3 roads i use to get to work where like that but hadn't been driven on. I sat with the wheels spinning and not moving for most of it.

Minor problem Jack, I can't go anywhere to get any salt lol. I've just been and dug out two tracks so I can get up onto the drive tonight if I do go anywhere - the width of the tyre marks and a little longer than the wheelbase of my car. Some of it is starting to melt now the sun is up.

Mission was successful. I let the tyres down a bit then crept down in 1st at idle revs. It had melted a little since the pics so was slush on ice, still locked up if I looked at the brake pedal though :).
