As we arrived back up north yesterday, the driving conditions had deteriorated to the point that we was in a full on blizzard!

Sheffield blue Jnr drops me off and decides that he is going to continue his journey to the other side of Sheffield. I get a call from him five minutes later saying the conditions were really bad and he wasn't going to risk it. I go and pick him up from where he was stranded for him to stay the night, in the meantime we decide that a takeaway and a trip to the pub was the most sensible thing to do.

I park the car outside the house for a few minutes to defrost to see what the Mrs wanted to eat, the snow at this point was possibly two inches thick and coming down quite heavily. A few minutes later we then get a knock on the door from our neighbours six doors down to tell me that my car had slid down the road, into the gates to their drive which in turn had damaged their car!

The Nissan Qashqai is two year old and still has a year left on the warranty, we live on what is best described as an incline and not steep enough for a car to slide away.

Is it really normal for a car to do this and will I have any recourse with Nissan?
