The joys of driving in Winter Czech Republic

Last Saturday we went on an outing. We live in the countryside and have to drive down a country road to get to the main road. Normally this is fine but there is a small stream going over the road which is now frozen over. We drive over it regularly, but this time we got stuck in the ice. We tried backing up. We tried turning out of the road. We tried putting planks of wood under the car. We even tried towing it. Eventually one of our friends turned up and helped us out.

We then drove to Ceske Budejovice and nearly ran over a deer that dashed in front of us.

Normal driving in winter in the Czech Republic... not to talk about the Czech drivers!
