so when a car travels on the road it melts the snow and ice under neat for the next guy,and he in turn melts it for the 3rd guy.In other words in adverse weather conditions every motorist helps the guy behind him by thawing the road.perhaps a thaw box on the back of each car that sprays salt or an anti freeze liquid ,or some sort of hot air flowing out.
and any motorist that takes part in the thawing could get their car insurance reduced a few quid.This would keep the main roads and side roads clear at all times,and then nobody would be stranded and with no winter weather accident claims all insurances would go down in price.idea supplied by brassGrin

At 50 km/hr travelling a car length would take about 0.3 of a second.
Perhaps you could melt three inches of packed ice with a flamethrower?

Because, once melted, the water underneath on the road would turn into sheet ice, if it was more than say 30 seconds between cars and everything would slide about.

Think it's a work in progress

crystal salt could be used.

in the winter how about a right angle extension to fit on the end of exhaust  to point it downward to melt the snow. Sorted.

and we could have dry roads in the middle of winter,super idea M M H.

i think the simple addition of a piece of hosepipe from the exhaust passed through the drivers window on your car would suffice

Just have a grit spreader attached to the back of every car. When you go out on a frosty evening, you are obliged to call in to a local depot and have a bulldozer dump a scoop load of salted grit in your boot then as you leave turn on the spreader. Job done, can't see any drawbacks, can you?

you could buy one of those driverless cars and send the car out while you watch the footy at home and make 10 quid while the car goes round a few estates dumping the gritLaughLaugh

Hope the Gritters Union don't know where you live, BN !

Can't have Joe Public dumping grit hither and thither, be like those leaflet guys just dump it behind the nearest hedge and collect their tenner.

Hi Brassy, I missed your conundrum last night as I had signed out. I must confess I've no idea. April 5th is the end of the tax year, not heard of a group called survivor.
