One of our brokers, Stephen Sorby, went viral this weekend after he tweeted a photo of a car driving along the motorway almost completely covered in snow. The driver had only cleared a small hole in his windscreen to see out of, with all the other windows completely covered in snow.

After tweeting the photo, the image went viral and Stephen was contacted by ITV a few hours later for a quote. Their coverage of the story can be found by clicking on the following Link. The photo has also been used by the police to warn drivers about the dangers on of not clearing the snow from their cars. Finally, the photo has been featured in this morning’s edition of London’s METRO newspaper.

Lets hope that Stephen’s new found fame doesn’t go to his head!
