Crazy video, watch the first guy.....also a Prius get bumped around in there too http://www.king5.com/sharedcontent/VideoPl...landhomevid.wmv
Rules of driving on snow and ice: 1. Brakes stop the wheels, not the car. 2. You are going to have an accident.
the prius didn't do too bad.. the car didn't spin around.. they stopped about when they wanted to.. hehe... i've had very good experianced with my prius on ice.
Oh man my abdomen's aching just watching it. That's a very bad feeling to be in a car like that. That first guy - was there a car he didn't hit?
There are some people who would tell you that 4WD is all you'd need. They would be wrong. In fact that FIRST guy likely had 4WD... and little else.
The thing with 4WD is, although they GO pretty good in snow and ice. They still suck at stopping and turning just like everything else.
the first guy did have 4 wheel drive and as you can see, when you are sliding at right angles to the direction of the wheel, 4 wheel drive is useless. now you know why i am not parking in my garage tonight. my driveway is pretty slick and steep right now too.
