That was in Portland, of December 2004. I remember my dad picking me up from my mom's in Salem and driving to Astoria that night. Fortunately for me, my dad had a 4X4 F350 with studded tires. I'd say we fared far better than the gentleman in the SUV did. (Jackass! You turn the wheel in the direction of the skid! You do not cut the wheel inside!)
Portland. The intersection of 20th and SW Salmon. The guy filming was in the apartment building in the SW corner. At one point you can see the roof top tennis courts at PGE Park in the NE side of the intersection.
Watch this You tube video: The Portland Oregon Stay Home Snow Crash
Note that it is Portland local news. Note the exact same video being played at 1:22.
ya those were all tourists and locals i live in oregon and we knw wen to drive and wen not to drive in the snow and knw how to but some of those people that were locals should have known better...... i call them idiots!
this is what happens when you get a bunch of transplants from LA and PHX and TX who have never seen snow irl. Fucking perfect. I hope I can avoid them when I make my move. But then again- I'm from cold country and a tourist town so I've been avoiding tourists my whole life. Idiots.
hahahahaha portland drivers....can always tell when they are here in central oregon, they drive reeaally still cant manage to keep it on the road!!! i belive its because of the lack of snow they get...
@crushedcranium yup... & overconfidence. they have no experience on snow & but think theyre great. I on the other hand, know i am a shiitty driver & dont drive in the snow
Yeah I remember this winter storm. Ice everywhere and crap, made for fun times haha. But as you can see, people that should not have been driving were, so it was a little freaky at times.
@salemcripple Oh I had to work during this storm as well, the only crappy part was driving an Eagle Talon at the time. The 2wd front drive model, the 4wd model would have made life so much easier lol. I don't understand where you saw me stating I didn't work when it snowed though. No worries either way, after work finding empty parking lots late at night made this storm fun as hell too =p
I went down to eugene during christmas time and when i came back up the drviers sucked at one point we moved like 20 feet in two hours . They were not prepared at all.
Damn, that first driver was a total gimp. He sped up after whacking into the street light. And I thought we had bad drivers in my home town of Vancouver, B.C. Sheeeeesh.
@coffeeandsugar20 Only problem is that IT WAS in portland, oregon. I live in Portland. What are you trying to cover up how stupid our own drivers are in the snow?
@RedDragonAirsoft After looking up some info. I saw this was in Portland. People make mistakes, but it seems like you can't let people make false asumptions!
I live in Oregon and we dont drive like that! do you see the snow?!?! please,if there was that much slippery snow where you live people wud be crashing too.
@Rosebff1223: Dude I live here in Portland too, but you can HEAR and SEE very clearly in this video that this dipshit drivin this suv is flooring it everytime he hits something!!, is there a reasonable explanation for this?!..yah i slid all over the place on that day too, but i surely didnt play bumper cars on the street like that guy did on purpose!!
@pdx5756: It dont matter how steep, he was flooring the gas man!, like others said in this channel, he was bouncin off with force off of other shit like a pin ball!..On purpose, not just letting gravity do its work either!
@besman007 Hi there, I heard that this was actually an elderly gentleman who mistook the brake for the gas. It could happen to any of us when we get older. Plus, when it gets snowy in Portland it is often much more slippery than in colder climates because its not cold enough to get sticky ice. Warm ice is actually more slippery because it is close to freezing. Portland used to get storms like this in the 70s when I was a kid, and it was quite hazardous.
A recent study shows that Portland actually has the slowest traffic and worst drivers in the country. The snow is just the icing on the cake. Maybe if they charged sales tax the city could pay for snow plows like every place else. You suck Portland. I hope there were deaths becuase of this.
I think we have some of the "best drivers in the country" in Portland because we have so few of them comparativly. A large portion of Portland residents ride bikes, walk, or use public transportaion.... but don't be fooled. This kind of scene is common, even when it rains! it doesn''t take much for Portland drivers to turn from some of the best, to some of the worst.
This is the kind of drivers you get when cousins are allowed to marry and siblings have sexual relations. Every morning I have to commute with these people and 9 out of 10 mornings there is an incident. This is the only placed I've lived since I graduated college that more accidents are caused from "rubber necking"(accidents caused by people looking at accidents) than anywhere else. This is a clear case of a state allowing inbreeding to go on too long. I was here during this, YES it is real!
wow, is that real? I mean, for than been possible you have two options:
a. People are just stupid because if you live there you know what is gonna happen, you don't wake up with 25 years, a drivers license in the middle of the winter without knowing how to drive and give it a try.
b. How steep is that road? That compact sliding sideways is impossible unless the road is daaaammnnn steep, I am right?
2) Yes, the majority of the people from here are ignorant and stupid.
3) They do not know how to drive in extreme winter conditions and have no business being out in them.
4) In their small defense, it hasn't snowed like this in the past, it was an unusually heavy snow, but they should not have been out in it.
5) And finally, that street is not that steep. The snow and the freezing temperatures caused it to be 3 times as slippery causing all the fun you see here.
You guys are morons. This has to be I think 1998 when we had one of the worst cold fronts ever come into Oregon, it went from raining to ice in a matter of hours, no one was expecting it. You can't control a car if its out of control, locked up and sliding on ice.
So how long have you been around Oregon? We get these ice storms every two or three years.
If it weren't for the ice storms we might not see the sky for all the tree growth!
I tend to think these drivers are some of the more recent urban imports. A real Oregonian would have the sense to not go out and drive when we get the ice storms.
Very true :P I've lived in Oregon my entire life, but never lived in Portland during the winter. I know Albany was only hit bad in 92 and 98 and we had some people there do some stupid crap. I live by Lincoln City now.. Want to see stupid traffic? our coast has tons of it!
Yes, it is! Corner of SW salmon, and SW 20th to be exact. If you have Google earth, you can look and see for yourself. Go into "Street view", and you can see the white building where this was shot from.
It's not just the snow. The whole hill was covered in a solid inch of ice under the snow that most people didn't know was there (it all happened over night). On flat terrain, the cars handled just as they would on a regular snowy day. This is on a steep hill. Plus something about the snow here. It seems slicker, i've been in white out conditions, and snow storms all over this country. And none were as hard to drive in as the ones we have here in the Pacific NW. So it's not ALL the driver's fault
johnnyponny4: what you probably don't know is that the street where this happened is about a 9% hill. and there are probably dumb drivers where you are, too.
Seriously if you have ever experienced a winter in Portland you know full well the city is not prepaired for snow and YOU NEED CHAINS...PERIOD! But for some reason half the population figures they'll be good without em as long as they drive slow. This last year there was a six inch thick sheet of ice (with over 6 feet of packed frozen snow in some areas) covering the street in front of our house, even with chains and 4WD we were slipping!
I totally remember this, that was a year after I moved to Portland I even saw one of these videos actually taking place! That was funny as hell I must admit. And people don't be out on the street if you see a car flying by out of control.
lol. i was there i live in corvallis. climate change means snow in OR. we have NO idea how to deal with snow so this is what happened. we got a week of snow and portland was pretty much under lockdown
@ajk712 if you think oregon drivers are bad, try driving around in kentucky. i am scared for my life on a daily basis. we aint got them turn signal do-hickeys in kentucky neither... or at least people arent smart enough to know how to use them
@ajk712 if you think oregon drivers are bad, try driving around in kentucky. i am scared for my life on a daily basis. we aint got them turn signal do-hickeys in kentucky neither... or at least people arent smart enough to know how to use them
Wonderwall339.. when their is snow/ice on Portland streets it's a lot harder to drive around than it is in Minnesota.... Oregon is not prepared for that type of weather... Also much of Portland is made up of steep, narrow streets that make navigation hard even when the sun is out.
Those drivers are tards! I remember this storm. I was stuck in my place for 3 days straight. The ice was so thick you could barley walk without slipping! If you cant walk, you cant drive! Timmy! The issue has already been stated, it NEVER snows here, and 80% of the people here cant drive when its dry out. They think because the have a 9000LB SUV they can drive in anything. They dont take in to account weight in motion, and that one important factor...The ability to STOP!
This guy is right. Also since it never snows they don't have salt trucks or snow plows to treat the roads so they are worse than roads in places that are used to snow.
i live in portland, and the idiots went out when weather was like this. Just because there is a video of this in portland, dowsn't mean that this just happends here
People in Portland know they cant drive, so why did any one of these folks even get behind the wheel, on a sloped street, any way.. These must be the folks that ride bikes most of the time now.. better get bike riders and car Insurance
Yeah, I've never seen stupid drivers ANYWHERE else in these United States. :/ If you're making a comment about stupid drivers, I guarantee you're making that comment EVERYWHERE you drive...
Yeah man these people are idiots...portland closes down if they get 1 inch of snow....If it were bend or Klamath it would take 2 feet. City Folk are so sheltered, they dont understand mother nature or anything else in the world besides lattes and rims.
Hey, the big city has dangers of it own (getting shot, stabbed, mugged, etc. just for being white in the wrong areas). Just because their different dangers, doesn't mean it's any less dangerous. I've lived half my life in the country, and the other in the city, i know about both worlds!
lol me to i love how ppl here cant drive in snow i used to live in michigan and when i went there last the lake was ice it was like 15- F and piles of 6 foot tall snow piles next to houses my aunt lives next to lake erie the cops road snowmobile's lol rembering that makes the ppl here look so dumb

johnnyponny4: what you probably don't know is that the street where this happened is about a 9% hill. and there are probably dumb drivers where you are, too.

Seriously if you have ever experienced a winter in Portland you know full well the city is not prepaired for snow and YOU NEED CHAINS...PERIOD! But for some reason half the population figures they'll be good without em as long as they drive slow. This last year there was a six inch thick sheet of ice (with over 6 feet of packed frozen snow in some areas) covering the street in front of our house, even with chains and 4WD we were slipping!

@Kaitrosebd You need chains, four wheel drive, and other snow survival equipment, because you might get trapped and die, outside your own house!
You're absolutely right

I totally remember this, that was a year after I moved to Portland I even saw one of these videos actually taking place! That was funny as hell I must admit. And people don't be out on the street if you see a car flying by out of control.

Wonderwall339.. when their is snow/ice on Portland streets it's a lot harder to drive around than it is in Minnesota.... Oregon is not prepared for that type of weather... Also much of Portland is made up of steep, narrow streets that make navigation hard even when the sun is out.

Those drivers are tards! I remember this storm. I was stuck in my place for 3 days straight. The ice was so thick you could barley walk without slipping! If you cant walk, you cant drive! Timmy! The issue has already been stated, it NEVER snows here, and 80% of the people here cant drive when its dry out. They think because the have a 9000LB SUV they can drive in anything. They dont take in to account weight in motion, and that one important factor...The ability to STOP!

This guy is right. Also since it never snows they don't have salt trucks or snow plows to treat the roads so they are worse than roads in places that are used to snow.

People in Portland know they cant drive, so why did any one of these folks even get behind the wheel, on a sloped street, any way.. These must be the folks that ride bikes most of the time now.. better get bike riders and car Insurance

Yeah man these people are idiots...portland closes down if they get 1 inch of snow....If it were bend or Klamath it would take 2 feet. City Folk are so sheltered, they dont understand mother nature or anything else in the world besides lattes and rims.

Hey, the big city has dangers of it own (getting shot, stabbed, mugged, etc. just for being white in the wrong areas). Just because their different dangers, doesn't mean it's any less dangerous. I've lived half my life in the country, and the other in the city, i know about both worlds!
