One January morning I had to get to a business meeting at 09:00, about 35 -40 miles from home.
Part of the journey took me over a high exposed road, it had been snowing, the road may or may not have had grit applied.
With the auto box continually trying to kick down and the power steering taking over and hitting lock to lock, I travelled about four miles going sideways, one side and then the other, until I arrived at civilisation and was able to point the vehicle in the direction of travel.

Very Interesting but I would not care to repeat it.
