I got pwn3d with 1:20.

Anyone else think it's weird that the Avalon didn't have ABS?

It looked to me as if they were sliding on a bridge.
Remember, a bridge will freeze before the rest of the road does.

I hate to say it but I would rather drive on full - on snow covered road than that glare ice.

[Drewstoycam]

I guess they have never driven on ice

WOW, thats was hilarious, and only downloaded in like 20 secs, definetly worth the DL

The BEst part was the safety truck with the arrow lighting up the wrong way, DUMb Ass

good find!!!

[mike03redcav]

that was awsome, sucks for those drivers though!

Thats why texas will close everything down when it flurries. Around here we get that kind of weather constantly so theres very few accidents even on ice except for idiots who think their 4x4's can handle ice.

For some strang reason, my 1992 Blazer gets better braking on slick surfaces when in 4wd, but my truck has issues with ABS retardation. The ABS doesn't work at all, but the wheels never lock up 4x4 and I know when my ABS is working.....I'm not crazy, I just have a weird truck!

another wierd thing is why would the camera man just stand there and watch all of this? people could be seriously injured even kids in the car. I know its not his job to do anything but come on if your gunna stand there at least wave people to go in the other lane

I am embarassed to say that that happened in my home state in a town a little ways down Interstate-40. All the snow had melted and this was like that last icy bridge left. It was in Franklin, TN. We really don't get a lot of snow or ice, but when we do, the stupid redneck part of us takes over.

However, that was hilarious. Poor Beemers.

Wow, that's scary. Personally, driving on ice wouldn't be too scary if it weren't for the other people on the road. But if you ask me it looks like people are driving really fast for the conditions. Hopefully most drivers have enough sense to know that bridge conditions can be a lot worse than the preceding road conditions.

[tsugsr]

yea that was there main problem, driving way to fast and not braking soon enough, and not knowing how to drive didnt help, neither did the arrow guy, and yea that wasnt in texas, i could tell by the cop car, and that beamer got OWNED LIKE nothin else, that will be at least 2K for that panel lol
oh and it only took me about 25 seconds to download....gotta love a T1

[angel_iz378]

going back and looking at it again(and judging by certain dot worker's lack of urgency) it appears to be tennessee, the plates look like tenn. plates. i think texas plates have red on it(in the tx flag)? but i would agree with the person that said tenn(the south in general)doesn't get that much snow and ice and when we do, we don't really know how to drive in it...

[goat_launcher]

Hey dumbasses, it's called DEPTH PERCEPTION! Try to notice the cars in front of you aren't moving...but then I wouldn't have a good laugh in the morning...HA, that sheet metal on the Beemer got torn like run in panty hose The DOT dude is a dumbass and should be fired, he's responsible for at least 2 of the accidents. this really makes me want to put my trust in a government department.

[jinushaun]

Hahaha! Hilarious!

Those plates look a lot like virginia plates. Every winter I see so many wrecks because of the tiniest bit of ice. I'v only been driving for a year and I drive better in that kind of weather than people who have lived here (north carolina) their whole lives. I always see people going the normal speed limit in that kind of weather too.
