This is what happens when they don't grit the demolition site

When winter really starts to hit in the UK our roads need gritting daily, and it's not uncommon to see local councils run out completely leaving drivers stranded. Well, the same thing happens to machines on work sites as the video above clearly demonstrates.

If nothing else, the driver should win points for keeping his machine on the dirt road.
