I took my car out to near a town I grew up in last night, and ventured into the hills to seek out some snow driving. I wasn’t disappointed, and spent three hours snow driving before I decided I need enough petrol to get back home.
On the way back, I came across a broken down car and a very pessimitic driver, it had stalled and refused to start after taking in water. Poor driver didn’t know what to do and it was starting to snow heavily. I offered to towed him, but realised I didn’t have a tow rope in my car. I asked him how long it was since he went into some water, and said 15 minutes. I said try starting it again, its usually long enough to dry somewhat, and sure enough it fired away.
I said to him, next time, don’t give up so easily, just try starting every five minutes, it will probably stall again but it will start. Away he went, looking very grateful and happy.
