Nucky Thompson Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I was on the A68 this afternoon, a lot of water on the road south of Pathead down to Lauder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkfish1979 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 The A7's absolute murder when the weather's bad. Drove down from Edinburgh in a hailstorm once and saw 4 cars* that had spun out and into ditches/on to verges. My wife had a crash in January just after Stow when she hit some black ice - gritters hadn't been out as usual. *All of them were BMW's. Take from that what you will.

monkfish1979 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Rear wheel drive. Nightmare in the snow. Word. Also seem to be driven mostly by people that wouldn't be able to tell you that. In my experience, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 The A7 is a bad road if you don't know it, fortunately I know every single bump and drain on that road as I drive it 2 or 3 times every week, and it's a road that you need to give a lot of care and respect to, it was really wet yesterday when I came back up from Gala and even I was almost caught out a couple of times, and I wasn't going over 50 for a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super T Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I drove down to Gala and back yesterday afternoon/evening and didn't think the road was to bad. The only dodgy bits for standing water were from Middleton Moor/Heriot for a couple of miles down the way. After that it wasn't too bad. I did have a chuckle at the guy paddling his kayack up and down the football pitch in Stow though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Rear wheel drive. Nightmare in the snow. I've owned several rear wheel drive cars and currently own one. The only one that has ever scared me in the rain was a BMW. I'm sure the new ones are better with traction control etc, but the older ones were a nightmare. I had a 525 and it was tailhappy, god knows what the M5's must have been like if you weren't an expert driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
