I had the embaressment earlier in the year of having to roll back down a small hill coming out of the estate because of lack of traction.

I had just emerged from a side road into the main road through the estate, which runs for about 50yds from this junction to the point where it meets the main road through the village. At the end of this road was a van which was still moving as it approached the end of the road. The main road was clear of traffic and it looked as if the van could keep going. What happened I don't know, but as I emerged and started climbing the small hill the van stopped and I could see that its rear wheels were spinning. I kept creeping, but had to slow too much. When I tried to get going again I could get no traction, and had to resort to rolling back down the hill and onto the flat, waiting for the road ahead to completely clear before driving up to the junction with the main road.
Poor planning I suppose.
