I do feel very sorry for those who got caught out on the roads but everyone should have known the snow was coming and at least been carrying some emergency kit like warm clothes, snacks, drinks etc. to see them through a good few hours if the worst happened. I've been hearing the usual complaints from a few motorists about the lack of assistance but the emergency services have been citing access problems due to blocked roads, abandoned vehicles, obstructed hard shoulders etc. As usual, others have reported crazy driving, speeding etc. by those who just won't slow down for anyone or anything. Madness! The truth is there are always going to be major problems on our roads when weather like this strikes and the best way to mitigate its effects is for drivers to use some common sense and avoid non-essential journeys and/or causing obstructions wherever possible.
