Snow chains in Bristol

[Danish07]

hi guys! I've been kinda stupid and now I'm stuck at the bottom of an icy road in the only dry spot, where I've been parked for three weeks

 

I was wondering if anyone in Bristol had snow chains or snow socks they might lend me to get myself out of here and parked on a nice, iceless main road. Or perhaps some suggestions as to DIY fixes that'll have me driving on snow & ice

 

Thanks for any help!

flag down a 4x4 owner I'm sure he will pull you out onto a good bit of road

well your options include...

 

snow socks, potentially crash into a kerb or some such?

 

snow chains, guess they could do damage if used incorrectly and then still the chance of sliding off somewhere

 

tow from another car, i wouldn't do it but then im too precious about the car

 

leave it where it is, is it that bad?

 

grit the road yourself and chip away at the ice and snow like a miner striking a vein of gold!

Doubt snow chains will do much on ice tbh. Best bet is to get out there with a shovel and grit and break it up enough to get where you need to. Let your tyres down quite a bit so that you have a larger contact patch (obviously keep enough in that the rims wont hit the floor!)

Leave it a few more hours and there will be no snow or ice left. Meant to be 8 Degrees Celcius tomorrow
