    I've just had to drive out River to deliver some milk to my parents and I got really annoyed at the stupidity of some drivers (and a few pedestrians for that matter).

    If you have to use the car then there are a few things you can do to make your trip a little easier.

    - 1st & 2nd gear ONLY
    - LOW engine speed and don't rev the engine
    - Avoid using the brakes - even ABS won't help you very much.

    Keep moving, slow and steady. Give other road users a lot of room.

    I watched a 4x4 struggle up Crabble Road and fail to keep moving forwards but slipped all over the place with wheels spinning - too much power being used. Brute force was the wrong way of doing things.

    If you're using low engine speed then pedestrians may not hear you coming and watch for untethered animals too.
