On a serious note, he very obviously hasn;t got his winter tyres on, otherwise he'd be munching this. Why not? It snows most years in Zurich, you'd think it would be the law - especially the swiss, they love their regulations...???

@gert83 there is a rule for snow tires and im sure he has it on.. what you can't really see in the video, is that this road is actually on an incline going up. During the winter several cars have a lot of trouble going up it especially when the roads are icy and snowy lol

Come to Kiruna for a lesson in winter-driving... This should not happen.

@malhaar123 Yes, I guess if you're on an incline with some ice winter tyres won't work - he probably needs some chains on his drive wheels. I can't talk, I'm from Britain where only people in the scottish mountains get winter tyres. It's not like Zurich, but we still get some snow in most winters, and when we do we also get meltdown as people slither around on their slicks!!

@Azureecosse Take it easy big boy - the irony was intentional. I had winter tyres because I was driving my 1987 Volvo 740 which lives out in the Alps and had come home for an MOT. I do have winter tyres for my regular car too. If they're justified or not in the UK is debatable - I think so, we just had a 2 week cold snap, the last 4 winters have had snaps, these tyres are good for temps below 7c, not just snow. I also like to spend time in the Cairngorms, and they're useful there, no debate.

@gert83 Good for you just drove off. My point exactly. Why would you need winter Tyres in UK anyway? it barely gets any snow well England anyway? 2 inches of snow for a couple of days a year does not justify winter tyres, I think someone is telling porkies or just being smug . Either way I couldn't give two hoots about your boring & ironic comment.

[gert83]

@Azureecosse That's not true, when it snowed in London last year everybody lent a hand. Except me. I had winter tyres, so just drove off. But I saw other people lending a hand.

I thought the Swiss knew all about snow!

[Azureecosse]

Nice people, wouldnt get that in UK folk would just walk by whilst you car STRUGGLES.

I wish I could let them use our tools with which you could prevent skidding accidents.
