By the looks of it. Winter tires would probably do little good on that incline.

The black car at 55 seconds is the only one who knows what the hell he is doing.

i love the guy that comes flying down just cruises through the pack. why dont people park at the tops of the streets and maybe save some people their vehicles? or stand at the top and wave them down for a bit till cops can get there... same thing goes for that seattle thread. bunch a retards.

Who says Americans cannot curl? And remind me to get the hell out of Portland on an icy day! Could Vancouver be much different?

There are more (from 2007 I believe, the first video link OP is from December, 2010):

Why is that dumb mother fucker in the mini van just sitting there. So fucking idiotic. Did he really think he had a chance to make it up the hill?

Vancouver has had days like this. Usually its not ice but rather compacted SLUSH snow- which is almost as bad.

Hahahha that was AMAZING, great post. That one TSX at the very beginning was amazingly lucky, avoided hitting the PT Cruiser and managed to get out of the way before being crushed by the red truck.

I use all seasons, and dont even have ABS on my winter car, the thing is: looking down the road for shit like this is a FANTASTIC idea for avoiding being in such an instance.

At the top of a hill or approaching it, I always brake check to gauge my traction. If it looks sketchy, then I dont go down the hill on the other side or in front of it.

Amazing how many times this has saved me, and others too if they'd actually think as much as they apply makeup or talk on the cell phone while driving.

EDIT: with the 2nd vid, wow... the first guy was the definition of a fuck-tard. The goal there is to STOP in that instance, when traction is just abismal; why speed up thinking you'll regain any control at some point? I shut it off after that before my brain exploded.
I was like.... HOLY FUCK!! are you fucking serious?
In that case, steer into the skid while threshold braking/slowing down, dont hit the gas while the car spins out of control.

the first car in the second video definitely got what he deserved when his airbag when off a couple seconds after for first impact. still i think it's the rubber neckers that i find the most retarded,
"look everyone crashing, lets park right here and watch!"
