    If it gets 15 inches thick, then go for it !
    I had a pedal bike on 7 inch thick ice recently....

    You got a stretch of water in mind ?

    Please video it if you do it.

    Life jacket and a hammer (to break ice) they will be grand on a small lake,
    A river will drag you under the ice and kill you though, if the ice cracks.

    It was in the meeja a few days ago, up in Donegal the adults brought the kids down to use their quads on the lake.
    Then there was young fellas doing donuts after dark...
    The video had a pic of a hole in the lake maybe chopped out by anglers or something.

    Leave the door wide open with the window down full
    so you can jump out of the car if she crashes thru' the ice and sinks.

    Insurance probably won't cover it either...

    why would you bother when you get the same effect on the roads?

    Parents were allowing their kids out apparently. You need a licence to own a dog but any idiot can have a kid!

    Just why?
    As above, you can do the same on the road or if you find a puddle...jesus you can throw a bucket of water on the road and in 30 mins you will have ice without the same potential for painful death.

    I've walked on a frozen lake near my house and apparently you only need a minimum of 4 inches of ice to drive on it.I reckon if you left it another few days then brought a light car out on it you'd be fine.
