I stand at the end of my lane sometimes, and I see people approaching from a distance. They pass, no more than a yard away without ever looking at me at any time.
I don't think it's people being rude, it's just a natural British shyness.

Maybe they're scared you'll punch them off their bike?

Why do people drive like idiots at the first sign of a little bit of snow on the road?
Only other people. We drive just fine.
I'm talking about people who don't clear the snow from their windows, don't consider other drivers (block exists or corners where they can see people will need to manoeuvre on the slippy road), or drive with their accelerator flat down and wheels spinning merrily in the snow whilst their car goes nowhere.
This morning a van was stuck on a hill, and cars behind him were pulling out to go round him, going on to the other side of the road and therefore holding up traffic coming the other way. When I stopped to help and give him a push (as did a lorry driver who was coming the other way), I asked him how long he'd been there for. 10 minutes! No one had offered to help in that time, and instead were merrily causing the road to become congested as they ploughed on their merry way (going nowhere slowly). He didn't need a push in the end, as all he needed was a bit of space to roll back down the hill and then choose a clearer route. It took less than a minute. Are people really that engrossed in their own little bubble that they can't see what's going on around them?
Could be worse, this happened on my road last week (everyone lived so we can laugh about it)

How?
He went down one of the steepest hills in the city, which this house is at the botom of. If the driver had been down this hill before, I hope he gets in trouble, because it's a bad one to drive down even when it's raining. Driving down it in the snow is pure suicide, in fact two other cars crashed doing the same thing while the ambulance was doing its thing.
Apparantly this has happened three times to that house, although previously it was just hitting the garden wall, not the house itself.

If it's that dangerous, shouldn't the road be closed when it snows/rains heavily?

As a direct result, that is what is going to happen from this point on. It was closed off today (and some birk still went down it).
Two more crashes happened yesterday on an equally road parralel with it. It's chuffing hilly in Sheffield.

It's not near Blake Street is it? I lived on that street one of the years I was at uni there, and it was ridiculous. When it snowed no one even attempted to park their cars on the street, never mind try and drive up/down it.
I believe the Blake pub has closed now, which is a shame, as it was a lovely local with the friendliest people ever - even to soap-dodging students!

Nowhere near, but on a par with it.
