Just a tip, if you're ever caught in a situation like this, don't chase after or cling to your car, and get the fuck out of the street.

[–] Mamertine 30 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Ugh, in the news here a few years ago, they showed a video of a lady jumping out of her car so she wouldn't be in it when it slid into another car. The news anchor advised people to stay inside of your car. It's a cage. You're safer inside that cage than lying in the road.

[–] rockSlayer 19 points 10 months ago

I feel like people forget that the conditions are like that for everyone and not just themselves, so they think it's ok to mill around the scene while waiting for emergency services. It's a terrible idea to do so, and it's absolutely safer in the car. If for one reason or another you have to exit the vehicle, get far away from the scene; like at least across the ditch or far into someone's lawn

Being in the car for a low speed collision wouldn't be fun, but it's better than being a bonus target in the middle of a game of car billiards

The person in blue clinging to the car who had to be yanked away... How do these people make it this far in life?

[–] superduperenigma 26 points 10 months ago

Because smarter people yank them away from the dangerous stuff.

[–] Rootiest 16 points 10 months ago

Just the number of people staying in the road while cars all sliding all over like Disney on Ice is crazy.

You aren't helping, get out of the way and let god sort it out before you get run over!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Or the one who chased after his car, staying in perfect sandwiching position. These are all awful

[–] Glifted 26 points 10 months ago (5 children)

Nah these are "all-season" tires. People who use summer tires switch them out for winters when the snow drops

[–] gibmiser 19 points 10 months ago

Then you got me over here, tires smooth as a baby's ass, sprinkling Rogaine on my tires and hoping for the best

[–] proctonaut 7 points 10 months ago

Insurance claim season

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Really? You wanna bet 🤣🤣🤣.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

*Smart people, or those who care!

[–] Altofaltception 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I swap out my all season tires for winter tires when the weather changes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't.

I don't think they even sell winter tires here.

And if winter tires are the little studded ones... Yeah, those aren't street legal here.

That being said, we tend to shut down the state if someone drops an icecube.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Most aren't studded and they do make a difference... But that was rink ice under snow.

Even the tractor got pushed around.

[–] KpntAutismus 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

you get driven around tho.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Nah I live in da city booiiii

[–] lobsticle 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

HURRY! HURRY HAAAARRRRRRRD!

My curling peeps will know what I'm talking about.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Yep, we need a lot more of this great content. CarCurling is thirsty

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

and it all starts with that strong guy pushing his ex’s car into the blue van. At least that’s what it looks like, and I refuse any other interpretations.

[–] Donjuanme 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The way that tractor was scooting, there was ice under that snow

[–] Mirshe 3 points 10 months ago

There's definitely a good layer of ice under there, given how that SUV at the start was moving after it got hit.

[–] Darthjaffacake 4 points 10 months ago
[–] KpntAutismus 3 points 10 months ago (3 children)

snow chains, people, snow chains!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Illegal on paved roads in many jurisdictions.

Good winter tires are enough in most cases.

[–] theangryseal 2 points 10 months ago

Then how will I slide around smacking into my neighbors? I don’t have bumper cars around here.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

People are lazy 🤷.

Back in the day, we didn't have winter/summer tires, just regular (all season) ones. Everyone knew, snow falls, you put on chains and drive at 20km/h.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

My Subaru could probably handle those roads... but it can't handle the IDIOTS ON THE ROADS! :-P \s
