    A warning for all autosocks owners

    Well maybe it's only the dim BMW ones .....



    PS: They SHOULD be fitted to the DRIVEN wheels

    I think I read somewhere recently that a majority of BMW owners does not even know which wheels are being driven.

    This is why Audis are 4WD. The owner can point to any of the wheels and be partially correct.

    Audi drivers can be trusted to put the sock on the spare wheel.

    Yes, I'd like to see that as well. And laugh some more.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    Question, would these help steering and breaking? If so then maybe thats y they r on the front wheels.
    I want to die in my sleep like my Grandma, not screaming like the other 3 people in her car.

    There are 10 types of people in this world. People who understand binary and people who don't.

    if you have no propulsion, then you are going to need neither steering nor braking.

    Worse examples of British drivers confused by snow into stupid actions ( see worst bit from about 1'15" till the inevitable conclusion )

    so British people enjoy filming this, rather than giving a helping hand? Quite understandable in this case

    ^^^^ yea that was actually my first thought on this too.
    Yes, many more brits will stand aside and laugh than go help
    The forum that was posted on had even WORSE examples of that lack of social care.

    I blame Sky TV and it's many viewer-supplied-paid-for-video-clips
    Sky TV --- Rupert Murdoch --- FOX .... 'nuff said !!!
