I see a disturbing lack of winter tires in that video.

My humble, non-snow-driving opinion: With Quattro, at least getting on the throttle while sideways might have altered the trajectory a bit. But that’s hard to do when you’re hanging out the driver door for some reason.

If you wait until you hit a car before using the gas pedal, YOU’RE GONNA HAVE A BAD TIME.

Also: Hey I’m back, how’s everyone doing? I’ve been b usy AF lately, and the FP commenters showing up around Oppo has been a major buzzkill.

Wow this is like people who close their eyes when something gets thrown at them but in slow motion

“ If I close my eyes, nothing will happen” . I have actually seen someone jaywalking do that and get hit by a car, at a very low speed of course.

Filed to: Things that could have been avoided with a bit of thinking on your feet, so to speak. I mean, maybe they couldn’t “stop” but they could have changed the direction the car was sliding by using power. Just like they do at the end, after bumping into *another* car.

They let anyone in these days, right? Back in my day everyone had to write a 2000 word essay explaining why they were worthy of this forum.

Back in MY day ( :P ), you had to audition just to be able to comment on the FP. I’m not being elitist, I’m just saying they opened the floodgates to increase pageviews and controversy.

I haven’t issues with FP commenters but some have so the dismiss function is going into overtime.

WTF were they trying to accomplish?

I have a feeling based on the videos, this person is so inept they’d manage to fuck up even with winter tires somehow.

Get out of the car while it was sliding, and h old it back through inhuman strength and sheer will power. That person on the passenger side was definitely trying to do that.

I appreciate that one person that just that straight up hauled the passenger out of the way.

Okay, I laughed when the Durango started sliding.

That woman’s lucky to be alive. What an idiot...

Yup. Quick thinking, perfect execution.

LMAO - sheer willpower versus a sliding 3825 lb mass.

I doubt it.  unless there’s sheet ice under that snow, it would at very least helped prevent it from backsliding.  We get plenty of snow in Michigan, but at least a few times every winter I encounter someone in their BMW or Mustang helplessly spinning their summer (or high-perf AS) tires on packed snow on level ground.

Well to be honest they were browsing Instagram and came across this just before it started sliding, so...

Blue coat is  lucky that they hadn’t already gone underneath the car. Black coat is a true hero.

In order for that car to slide like that, there has to be a sheet of ice under that snow.

not necessarily.  high perf/summer tires are hard as a rock at those temps and have little or no sipes in the tread.

I googled the name of the building in the video. It’s the Czech Republic
