03/31/2008 Minnesota Icy Roads, Spinout And Fishtailing

[ocelot44revolver]

Fuckin impalas

[akbar350]

perfect evil song for perfect off road accident> O_o

[thadea]

not for broadcast...ok

[Tegnotyyppi93]

that weather is not even half slippery in finland! :D

[GodlessMartyr666]

hahahah what the fuck some sheister towtruck man filming his winter success on other peoples unfortunate accidents...

[noskidable]

What if a flip of switch could save troubles on ice ?

[withnonamemarketing]

Now that guy in the black sedan was just showing off.

[video0101010]

i give a thumbs up for the second guy. He was at least able to stay on the road.

[bastaki22]

@video0101010 he just wanted to get the ice of his car LOL

[video0101010]

@bastaki22 LOL he got most of it.

[hamrite]

everybody going way too fast

[7mileshot]

its funny cause my dad fish tails purposly in his 1500 2wd and doesnt spin out! ahhh other people who dont know how to drive :D

[fedorauser1003]

Sad that Impalas do that. My Impala does really well in the snow.

[TheRedbikemaster]

dude, the ad was longer than the video!

[Germannerd]

copyright?! not for broadcast??

THUMBS DOWN!!!!

[sahaja75]

@Germannerd LoooL BUHAHAHAAA

[Fullificationify]

@Germannerd Thumps down dor you...this is great video! :)

[Fullificationify]

@Germannerd Thumps down dor you...this is great video! :)

[Fullificationify]

@Fullificationify for*

[snupcho]

Why buy an rwd vehicle if you can't drive?

[MegaZsolti]

@snupcho Good point haha :P

[LostintheVoid11]

Yeah that Impala just wanted to get the snow off his back window :P

But on a more serious note, people seriously need to get a grip when it comes to winter driving, literally. You can't drive like you would in the summer and expect to do the same in the snow, or icy rain conditions. Just slow down, don't think yourself macho and overtake everyone cause you got 4WD etc... we will all overtake you once you're in the ditch.

[dkhill27]

Good driving at 1:01 that driver knows how to drive and not slam on the brakes. Good save!!

[kujon69]

americans shouldn't be allowed to drive at all.

[RastabanPrincess89]

@kujon69 Then you have never been to London, France or Germany

[buntcher]

@RastabanPrincess89 especially London.

[ht4005]

that's right, find a cindar plow and stay behind, or stay home.

[vaxushti1000]

GRAND THEFT AUTO

[adnan1985gti]

1:00 whery good driver

[cantinflas66]

i miss u M,N

[carminefast77]

i have a 2001 impala and they are very light in the ass end. i put two 50lb sand bags in the trunk and it holds the road good even in this slush.

[adnan1985gti]

@carminefast77 or full tank off gas lol

[carminefast77]

@adnan1985gti yes. but sand is much cheaper

[Dora1692]

The second car is the only car I've seen so far on these videos that has any defensive driving skills. Take a frickin' driving course and get your car properly maintained for the winter. Might keep you out of the ditch!

[Superwoman2012]

I'm excited about moving to Minnesota.. Judging from this video i'll need Triple A, and a Suv with AWD and brand new snow tires lol on my to do list! I'm very excited!!!

[JoshJW11]

I think Stability control (ESC/ ESP) really saved that Impala at 1:05

[bullytheripper2]

First driver...Woman...second...men.­..feel the difference?

[melnik1982k]

нехер ездить на летней резине

[Kent1978feb]

что доказывает, что шиповка лучше всего.

[bestamerica]

'

how come vehicles are not using 4 chair tires on it while drives on blacky icy road

[MrBayramov001]

hahahaha

[JazzFiveO]

Fancy a winter break. Minnesota offers fun for all the family

[punchion]

Driving too fast for conditions will get ya every time. You can't disobey the laws of physics....a body in motion tends to stay in motion. Slow down people!

[gwmkwan]

i believe winter tires would of prevented that

[xXkickapooXx1]

Mean while in Japan

[jenyak83]

Блять - вы американские далбаебы - совсем ездить не умеете... У нас в бывшем СССР - каждый год такая зима и постоянно дороги в таком состоянии

УЧИТЕСЬ ЕЗДИТЬ... Кто на повороте дает газу на заднем приводе? Это каким нужно быть идиотом что б руль крутить в противоположную сторону заноса и при этом резко тормозить? ВЫ ИДИОТОС

[lSongeel]

@jenyak83 Cto odin amerikanec tokoj neznacet cto vse tokie. No da, ezdit v etam video "vaditeli" neumeut.

[nitrospase]

@jenyak83 да пидарасы они конченые ))))

[MrDutchTutorial]

@jenyak83 talk english!

[xDutton101x]

haha lol :P was funny to be fair

[TrickerSkate]

do you know what snow tires is??, Danish people can drive this shit

[bebeha09]

Guy on 1:00 just wanted to clean his car)

[Mrbircik]

0:00



[zecocolt]

this is why i love the winter FUCK YEAH DISCO ON THE ROAD

[Region174rus]

Each year, the same thing. You out there that winter tires do not sell? You are always ready for winter, which is sad because of your stupidity people are dying.

Google Translate

[OriettaRose]

What I got from this video: "Work harder, make more money and don't feel guilty". (<3 Rush)

[KoivuTheHab]

Sorry but this is quite funny =:) If you live in a place where winter means snow you either buy a 4WD/AWD or bring out your off road motorbike =;)

[napalm9]

@KoivuTheHab Lol you sure as hell dont need an 4wd in these conditions. A normal FWD car will do fine in almost all conditions. The only time you really need a 4wd is up icy hills or in deep snow, none of which are present in this video.

[KoivuTheHab]

@napalm9 You need to use your brain homse. If that car was 4WD it would never have spun like that. Also, sleet can be extremely slippery, this looks like a combination of sleet on ice underneath. It's exactly in conditions like this that 4WD will save you from your mistakes and bad judgement on the road.

[creamyfilling102]

@KoivuTheHab 4wd can't fix bad driving pal.

[KoivuTheHab]

@creamyfilling102 Actaully it does to an extent. For example in this case it more than likely would have kept the car on the road. Try it sometime, the difference between 2wd and 4wd in winter is like night and day...

[uswg01]

@KoivuTheHab - Drive down a snowy highway any day in the US, 90% of the vehicles in the ditch are 4wd. 4wd doesn't help you slow down, or steer around anything. The car sitll has four tires, same amount of grip. 4wd drivetrain is pretty much irrelevent if you don't know how to use its advantages. These people would have crashed no matter what. A good set of snow tires and a winter driving course is plenty to keep most people on the road in the winter, too bad no one makes that investment.

[KoivuTheHab]

@uswg01 I'm not talking about the US, americans don't know how to drive in winter conditions. Also I must say you know very little about cars and physics in general if you say things like ''doesn't help you steer around anything. The car sitll has four tires, same amount of grip'' If you think a 2WD has the same amount of grip as a 4WD I'm really not sure if I should ask you to see a doctor or a kindergarten teacher. Btw, a 'winter driving course' is always part of getting a license here...

[uswg01]

@KoivuTheHab - Please explain how having 4wd magically allows an individual tire to posses more grip. Unless you are accelerating there is very little difference between the way a 4wd/2wd will handle on public roads, at reasonable speeds.  4wd will help you get out of a ditch, or up a steep hill, but it won't instantly make a car handle better, especially if there is no additional training for the driver. Tires and skill are much more important in my opinion.

[uswg01]

@uswg01 - *Possess

[KoivuTheHab]

@uswg01 There is no magic required, a tiny bit of knowledge of physics or common sense is more than enough. Everyone who has ever driven a car and gone through school knows that if a mass is being pulled by 4 elements it has more grip than 2 elements of this same type. This doesn't mean that the advantage is automatically double (200%) but it does automatically mean that there is more traction. 4WD does not help much when traction is already lost, however it's much less likely to lose traction.

[uswg01]

@KoivuTheHab - I'm not disputing the fact that 4wd will accelerate better. When you go to brakes, and especially brake and turn... 4wd offers zero advantage, in fact at that point, 4wd can possibly be disadvantageous. Unless of course, you are familiar with the drivetrain characteristics of 4wd. I prefer my awd impreza, but had no problem driving my 2wd hatchback in weather and on roads where most people DIDN'T make it with their 4wd. IMHO Tires and Training makes a driver, not the vehicle.

[KoivuTheHab]

@uswg01 There is no disputing tires and training are very importaint, I'm not challenging this fact either. However 4WD is not only an advantage when accelerating, for example when changing lanes on a surface like this, the back end is MUCH less likely to lose traction in the first place. I'm not going to debate if 4WD is more or less importaint than tires and training, as I have not stated an opinion on this in the first place. Also, 4WD can never be a disadvantage compared to 2WD.

[enerandrea]

the second driver at least know how to get rid of the snow on the car!!! haha

[Wh1tef1sh]

Welcome to Russia!)))

[shumer713]

@Wh1tef1sh залупа это а не россия...

[Wh1tef1sh]

@shumer713 да это понятно, просто у нас такое каждый год! даже праздник есть: День Жестянщика!)

[GrayDiver]

Legendary All-Season tyres in action?

[babemokzar]

was it me or did the second car, at first started fishtailing, he caught it, and then just went "that was fun" and continued to make it fishtail on purpose?

[david08106]

Counter steer anyone?

[OhFookinELL]

The road conditions are terrible yet people seem unaware the speeds they are going.

[denister2008]

back in 2002 my small airplane from Salt Lake City to John Wayne airport in Orange County couldn't take off because of the Icy run way it just went around and when it stop the plane was facing the opposite direction LOL it wasn't funny though i was a little scared 20 min later the run was was clear

[NotPhysicallyPossibl]

i feel for the firebird at 1:50. I drove a firebird in iowa winters for 2 years. Not easy. Its the reason i now own a 4x4

[waur1]

idiots breake hard :D :D

[kattlikzm]

RWD or FWD, all you need is good winter tires, and of course good driving skills. That's it

[92blazer4x4]

Lesson to take from this? Your FWD/RWD car, mini van, etc... ARE NOT 4X4's. Maybe leave the house earlier so you can take slower backroads instead of the iffy looking highway?

Good background noise, conservative talk radio, that's normally whats playing on mine.

[PtOs]

At leas the second driver (Impala) knows how to drive and recover from fishtailing!

[BenzRules10]

@PtOs that and im pretty sure it had esp.

[ScienceOfThePS3]

@PtOs Front wheel drive FTW!

[ironhydroxide2]

@PtOs lift throttle oversteer.... part of what he was doing caused him to slide more.

[hammersm1988]

@PtOs He has no idea how to recover a fish tail... It was just dumb luck. You never recover a fish tail by breaking, it only makes it worse... Autos suck in snow cuz you don't have engine breaking....

[thpc]

the driver just after first minute of the video was a really good one, you should notice he DID NOT use breaks after his car started fishtailing! Remember - breaks kill in such situation. FWD cars have to be stabilised with the throttle and here you have a great example! Hope it's a FWD ;) Cheers!

[sparkygl0s]

1:00 He's just cleaning the snow off his rear window.

[coolboy2650]

@sparkygl0s or some drifting ! :D

[NaturalBornCamper]

This is everyday life in Canada and nobody is crashing their car like that

[paxa007]

Looks like people in MN used to drive crap.

[danieledeanna]

do cars over there even have snow tyres?

[AltRage]

When it's that slick, don't change lanes on a curve. I've been driving MN winters since 1976 and I've never been in the ditch.

[w4rr10r11]

Those fucking snow plough trucks look fucking scary driving on the road.

[Rwd1011]

lol you need to forget about brakes, when you suddenly got sideways, everyone hits brakes and that causes them to loose control at alll and fly into ditch :D :D

[goldbullet50]

Hah, same with Russia

[Guzzor2]

I Love Spirits! and I Like that gone 4x4 in 2:38 hahaha

[KatoKid85]

The second car in the video, I thinks its an impala or malibu, was not a bad driver. Actually he handled that perfectly and got his/her car back under control. Most people hit the brakes when they start to spin, but this guy had it under control and steered back into the drift. Winter driving 101

[skycvg]

1:05 DRIFT DRIFT DRIFT

[RipperGand]

-sigh- Can I have ONE video where I don't have to read proud American nationalists explaining how amazing their country is on the comments? -.-

[chad851000]

For the driver of the red Camaro at 1:46. Next time I would ask for a ride home from somebody who has a car that isn't a rear wheel drive. In fact if I lived in Minnesota I wouldn't even own a sports car.

[ymcablabla]

i hate fucking snow... i hate winter... but i love xmas time :)

[KeNzoRDarK]

0:55 FAil =)

[kujon69]

are the american roads the fucking slippest roads in the universe with a bunch of policemen constantly shooting to your tires (cause your imported them from mexico) or are american people so rubbish when driving that they all should have their licences taken away? i should quote @gasitman now: TAKE THE FUCKIN BUS!

[lfsracer79]

1:05 He wanted to get the snow off the car, LOL

[TheApo91]

from 1:01 that im calling driving skills, respect to him

[autoromu]

words of wisdom. Dont drive with summer tyres in winter

[398playboy]

1.05 - 1.23  Respekt !

[howarethingsindenver]

1:07 Steady, steady, steady, steaadyyyy, steady, pfhhhhhhh, just dodged a bullett :)

[Mvv026]

I love this weather! I want is for ever xd

[1supak]

Do not use a fcking brakes never on snow,just put in lower gear and put your foot out of clutch and if you need slow down more then again in lower gear and so on.In automatic transmission just use steering and not damn brakes

[Mickyadzz92]

front wheel drive w-body cars...fishtailing....right. i smell.........parking brake.

[eltfell]

Doesn't look like harsh conditions. Don't they have winter tyres?

[MRLUDDIES]

@eltfell There was black ice

[eltfell]

@MRLUDDIES OK, that's difficult.

[Lafladitu]

I hate the salt they put on the roads. true it melts the ice/snow but when that melted water freezes its gets very slippery. and salt on tires are not that fun either to drive on unsalted roads. i prefer warm sand. that melts and gets stuck in the ice and give more grip and controllobility and you wont have to be worried about rust on the car either

[kampfsack2009]

Don´t you ameicans know salt? lol

[CatalinD88]

@kampfsack2009 wtf do you thing that red big ass truck is doing ?

[kampfsack2009]

@CatalinD88 Taking up the car..?!

[CatalinD88]

@kampfsack2009 no, spreading sand and salt while cleaning the snow

[Zeerios]

@kampfsack2009 salt fucks up cars pretty fast. we use it here in finland and cars turn out to rusty metal craps after couple of years... without damn good rust protections.

Good winter tyres (with spikes or not) is enought!

[kampfsack2009]

@Zeerios Yes you are right.. i know that.. we got the same problem in germany....

[papryczek92]

1:16 widać gościu w NFS się nagrał :P, trochę się nauczył :P

[BarbaShime]

WOW! Fantastic sound of that red Beatle @ 2:36

[TheEMS41]

no winter tires most of them !

[Izgarshev]

Вот дебилы, хоть бы шипы одевали на зиму чтоли

[MrSleepygrizzly]

Turn your gay radio off.

[1stb1]

viridian 6???

[CarOwnageUK]

gotta credit the guy at 1:10, well held.

[Flyfisherman1962]

...summertires on winter slush?

Mmmmmmm....no I dont think you should try to overtake that car and definately not in that speed...

Then you get a overdimentioned "water planing"....

Summertires are too soft, has too little grip and too small patterns in tires to control as you just saw here, so REMEMBER, IF IT IS SNOWING and you have SUMMER TIRES;

LEAVE YOUR CAR AT HOME!!!!!!!!!

[cbr900rr919]

ahhh rush Limbaugh thats all we need more welfare and big government lol

[kowal789]

when you start to fishtail like at 1:01, do NOT hit the breaks. just try to steer out of it. there is no real way to make it short and painless.

[Casimano1]

@kowal789 yeah cuz if you hit the breaks youll lock them up then just start sliding.. then its over.. best bet.. keep equal amount of pressure on the gas and just try to recorrect and connect.. but most people panic and slam the breaks lol

[kowal789]

@Casimano1 EXACTLY. couldent have said it better my self.

[Agoka47]

1:05 Just cleaned rear window. :D

[notanova]

@Agoka47 been there done that got the tee shirt then ditched it! Fml

[fatkid76]

1:02-1:21...."Its Cool, just shaking the snow off." LOL

[kosmickart91]

Thats how we do it up in Minnesota!!!!! :D i love living here

[Jwe3]

get sum studded tyres ffs

[htc6600]

The clip of the second spinout is a good one. The dumbass doesn't even have the brains to take their foot off the accelerator.

[dawchiks]

i miss winter.

[Bongwater123]

snow tires makes a huge difference, but i places that dont get much snow most people think its a waste of money

[siddharthamehta]

1:10 Just shaking off the snow .. !!

[tttttttttttt93]

american cars, all rear-wheel traction

[freakyflow]

@tttttttttttt93 then you know nothing about cars

[tttttttttttt93]

@freakyflow it was a somekind of joke but i take your comment as a joke too, and i do know something about cars as i work in a auto service

[freakyflow]

@tttttttttttt93 @ 1:45 thats what i use to drive in Canadian winters for fun Nothing like a light end rear wheel V8 lol

[goodnewsminnesota]

shows the importance of special "snow tires" and cautious driving

[TheBabykitty194]

ok i live in minnesota and we are know for our snowy conditions. but if you come to minnesota u need to learn how ride in snow

[tttttttttttt93]

@TheBabykitty194 you're not american lol ,learn to speak english first :))

[Bongwater123]

@tttttttttttt93 americans cant speak english. "they took er jobs", "a derka derrrr"

[ModernTubefare]

@Bongwater123 You think that American people can't speak English, even though I am an American, and I am typing this sentence? Do you have dislexia?

[Bongwater123]

@ModernTubefare i was just joking there buddy

[HSRacing29]

ever heard of wintertyres ?? and SLOW down ??

Keeping the distans to the car in front ?

[07iraqvet]

@HSRacing29 i dont have snow tires i live in minnesota i have no problem driving in the snow and ice

[DDFJ1230]

thats why I got a jeep :) O|||||||O

[CPWindsorsub]

@ 1:02 at least he can see out of his back window now lol

[skillz03784]

@CPWindsorsub lol it kinda looked like when a dog shakes himself dry

[CPWindsorsub]

@skillz03784 lol

[tonybaxter2006]

Minnesota Icy Roads.... and stupid drivers.....LoL

[imatravis198683]

this is why i wont live up north year round ever ever again. too many bad winter driving memories

[cochranexyz]

That first car was tailgating. Even in shitty weather people tailgate.

[tomcatdcn]

I like the radio station :)

[earmic]

the new 2011 Jeep compass will join the crash XD

[wudecki]

It looks like a Summer Tires Enthusiasths' Convention.

Anyway, hitting the brakes when you want to evade the slide is the worst thing you can do.

Another thing I have noticed is that too many drivers leave snow on bonnets and tops of their cars. In Europe if one gets busted by the police patrol with snow on their car, the penalty for something like this is quite expensive.

[thepenny1986]

snow tires would def help

[jonnypopster]

he was just shaking the snow off his car...lol :)

[noskidable]

A simple new tool could prevent vehicles getting in trouble on ice. Just press the switch and you can get enough traction immediately. Snow tires and salting on ice can be an old story.

[bashfulbrother]

I've driven in Minnesota winters for years and it never ceases to amaze me how many other drivers are total idiots.

[nick081980]

notice that all the cars that are crashed are american made cars. Funny that

[WRXSubaru08]

@nick081980 thats why I drive a Subaru =)

[fivepointohpwr]

@nick081980 not many people drive foreign cars in those parts
