Why? It's quite a lot safer to drive in the snow with esp etc. than without.

Be happy you're living here and not a bit further up north then ^^ As far as I know those driver aids only make your life better.

I've heard that the people in The Netherlands take an extra blanket, a bottle of water and some biscuits with them during the wintertime. Just because it's possible that a sudden snowfall may accure and they can get stuck 
I've been driving a lot lately, and did a lot of miles in one day. I'm not afraid of going somewhere far, as long as I got the GPS system with me though ;D

That's a wise thing to do, to carry a blanket and supplies... Almost every winter we can hear a story of people who died because stuck in the snow in North America (not necessarily dead of lack of food or even of cold, but also of carbon monoxide intoxication from trying to heat the car). Edit: great time to be had for you though, it would seem. ;D  I wish you affordable gas price while the time is good for these kinds of trips... |

Yeah it is wise indeed, but it's seems so unreal for us in Belgium, while the Netherlands are right next to us. But that only happens up north though.

I don't think it ever happened to me during the 7 years I lived in France, but then again, we usually lived in the south of France. ;D BTW, I know the voting is already over, but I voted just for the sake of making all the votes be a nice, round number. ;D (I know somebody might spoil that, with a little prompting from Peter, perhaps)  |
