| 1118443 | 2010-07-13 21:04:00 | Happened to me all of last winter - this year I have carport! Seriously - found the best way was to run the car for a while and heat up the windscreen. Couldn't use the window washers as the tank used to freeze solid! |

| 1118444 | 2010-07-13 23:37:00 | Yes BillyT, it happened to me over the weekend as well here in NP. I did not run into anybody but a clear windscreen turned opaque within a second, without using water or anything. I stopped alongside the road and waited until the car heater softened the flash frozen layer to mush and wiped it off. sarel |

I wouldn't mind betting that all the Insurance Companies have a spate of claims from that time period for similar reasons. Black ice is virtually unknown in Auckland too, but I reckon it will have been lurking on a few shady corners to catch early church goers or late returning party animals and rugby celebrants. We had a rather frightening hiccup yesterday when the Insurance Company said our premium hadn't been paid. Fortunately for us it had, but hadn't been updated on their system for some reason. I had visions of selling said daughter to white slave traders to pay for the exotic european vehicle she hit (ain't it always the way, why not an old dunger?) but she lives to frighten a few more innocent drivers in years to come.

That way they can't claim any such thing. |
