If I'd known Cat made these, I would have bought one to do our access maintenance last year, instead of getting the bloke up the road to do it.

Winter tyres, perhaps.

Company I worked for a few years ago sent us on an advanced driving course. One of the topics covered was winter driving. Based on this course If you hit ice summer or winter tyres make no difference. Neither will grip ice. Only studded tyres or chains

Ice is normally only a patch and so best to have a rear wheel drive or 4 wheel drive vehicle. Despite what the advertising people many suggest front wheel drive is the worst in such conditions. That said narrower tyres are better for snow

With front wheel drive as you pass over the ice lose both steering and power and are along for the ride as no control. Rear wheel drive or all wheel drive as you pass over the ice you lose steer then power but not control

As a part of obtaining my "Snow Licence" ( Hazardous Area Authority ) I did that in a 12 metre bus. Very interesting..... still, nothing compared to what the London bus drivers used to do.

And yeah, black ice, as we called it, takes no prisoners. All we really learned was how to spot likely places for it to form.
