You get two inches of snow on a mountain road, in winter, and what happens? Utter gridlock as every local driver gets stuck for lack of driving skills.
Is this Britain?, nope, The Three Valleys Ski resort in France and the 200 stuck drivers, completely blocking the only road in and out of the resort are all French. Our 90 minute coach transfer turned into a 12 hour ordeal to cover the 15 miles up the hills to Val Thorens, all caused by wheel spinning incompetent French locals totally unstuck by white fluffy stuff falling on a road in a ski resort.
Anyway, at least it’s not just the British who can’t drive in winter……
