I don't usually park our cars on our driveway - it's easier to leave them on the road and also means I can ride in and out on the bikes without moving stuff.
But yesterday I had them both parked up (those who have been here have seem the ramp to my garage).
Overnight we get quite cold, they get covered in frost: and then the sun rises and the ice melts. This morning I went to move the cars to get the R3 out and all the ice from the cars had thawed but had refrozen on hitting the ground. Was a ruddy skating rink. The missus car nearly slid into the stone gateposts - and even the LandRover lost a bit of traction.
If they'd not dribbled I'd have been unaware - All I ruddy need is to hit a damp, sun free, corner today and whoooooooooooooooooooosh.
The R3 is staying indoors. Wuss? me? - hell yes. Falling off hurts.
