Xmas Road Trip
Christmas Eve is over. Since my parents moved into a small hole in Süstedt, the journey there is always an experience.
Up 8km from the finish it was actually quite good. The roads were not in perfect, then at least in passable condition.
some point we had a small but well-cleared road, turn left ... and stuck. A closer inspection revealed
that the road would turn into "we, around 5-10 cm was lower than the street where we were before the move. From the outside, but this was not seen.
Results: We were somewhere in the snowy nowhere, visible far and wide, no house and the car was not yet back.
My brother tried to push the car while I tried, the car carefully backwards maneuver on the more stable road. The only result was that the wheels dug further.
A plan B was needed.
A common method to free a stuck car, is to place the mats under the wheels. The carpet-like mats of today's cars are actually almost too good for such experiments, but even if the navigation system displays only wilderness around you, going from one at some point the alternatives. The most spectacular result was
however, that a mat came out firing with fly front. The situation itself is not improved as a result. While my brother lodged
a smoke break, was I thought about Plan C.
rock After digging out the wheels and multiple back and forth I finally got the car on its own again and we turned around at first to drive a larger location.
From there, we called our parents and let us steer to the target phone. En route we also saw yet another car that was just moved from a stretcher out of the snow.
Almost 3 hours after departure in Bremen, we were finally there, while in summer can expect about 45 minutes.
conclusion of the way: A normal Navi good is on a visit to the province of winter is not too much. worked the last few years it just make it, but with proper winter weather, one now needs a special winter mode, which takes into account only the navigation system roads that are on the roster of Räum-/Streufahrzeuge.
The floor mats have survived the procedure also good. I even have the subjective impression that they are now a little cleaner than before.
At the end of the Christmas family celebration, it was on the return journey.
If you know of an insider that the roads are cleared, you get a lot easier to target. However, the major roads through the snow drifts had become part of small single-lane roads that are sometimes only on the median strip or on the opposite lane at all could ride.
held at this late hour, the oncoming traffic, fortunately limited, so this was the most time possible. If it was a time it was said, however, carefully back into the snowdrifts to dive on our site. Once we were stuck there too fast, but it was just twice as good.
When we reached the B6, it was much better. Although that was not free of drifting snow but there is more traffic there is stable lanes were constructed.
The A1 was finally cleared up the left lane perfect. The A27 completely even.
I'm glad now first, the next Days not to have to leave the house ...
On that note: Happy (left) hard!
