We had some snowfall last night - about 4". It started snowing while we were out, and had settled when we got home. I managed to reverse the car
*up* onto our drive - it's maybe a 1 in 15 slope. Nothing too steep. Got out, locked up, thought no more of it.Lo and behold, this morning, get up, and the car is almost off the drive, and into the road. With a load of foot and car tracks around it (why did no one knock our door ?). I managed to clear it off, and reverse it back first time, although there was a slight slipping. It's now got a brick under each front wheel.
It's a Citroen Grand C4 automatic. Electronic handbrake. When I started the car, I felt the handbrake come off, and when I stopped the car, the handbrake came on. Also, looking at the tracks behind the front wheels I think the car managed to slide somehow, not roll.
Anyone ever experienced anything like this before ? My current theory is that driving in the snow last night built up a layer of ice on the wheels which meant when I parked the car, it was on 4 ice coasters.
