I've driven on thick ice.

Out on the sea ice between Oulu and Hailuoto. Chickened out after about a mile and felt a little sheepish when a tipper truck went past going the other way.

Regards,

When we were in St Petersburg a few years ago we "gingerly" walked out a little onto the frozen sea.
We need not have worried. The local youths were having great fun with their cars each towing four or five tyres (all linked by ropes) with another lad sitting in each tyre.
Seemed like great fun.......if one was 17 again!

I was in Stockholm one winter and the Baltic froze. Saw an ice fisherman and while crossing a bridge along the archipelago, a motor bike drove under the bridge.

Winter 62/63 - went for a walk on Wroxham Broad (Norfolk, UK) - saw several cars driving on it, didn't dare risk my car, but didn't see any failures.
