LOL, I wonder how my AWD will do in the snow! (If we ever see any)

[BraindG]

Thats just plain mad, good this fire engine decided to block off road..

Im also assuming that that road is on a hill? Cos there no way a car can slide like that ont he flat.. and what about yer first man? lol.. what on earth was he/she thinking?

[Throbbe]

:thinking:

This is how to drive in snow if you have a fwd vehicle:

Step 1 - put another engine in the back

Step 2 - wait for snow

Step 3 - Go nuts (http://www.durocco.com/Video/Snow_Day_'05_rev3.3.wmv)

Ugh! Bad.

Here's more antics - curtesy of the US and a patch of black ice!/help

Keep with it, and check out the BMW near the end of the vid... That bump opens it up like a sardine can!

The first vid was three days ago in Portland OR. My bf lives there, and he was sent home from work (he's a driver), and he refused to go in the next day because of the conditions.

Love the fact that they had the arrow on the back of the ambulance pointing in the wrong direction at first... DoH!!!!

Love the fact that they had the arrow on the back of the ambulance pointing in the wrong direction at first... DoH!!!!

Yes! I liked that touch too! "For instant carnage, follow this arrow!!" /lol

[Kieran]

BTW Col - are you still in blighty, or are you back out in places undisclosed again?

[Lillywotsername]

Is it me, or was there absolutely NO use of hazard warning lights...

Besides the fact that the ambulance workers must have been working on commission that day..... like K said.... " Lets just point the arrow the wrong way to increase the carnage"

Other drivers were approaching the accident WAY WAY to fast and bang, another one bites the dust. You would think that a simple courtesy like putting hazard lights on to warn other road users would be a good idea.

[colVR4]

No, I am back in good old, windy, rainy, miserable blighty Kieran. I have been on my extended hols out to Feurteventura (or however you spell it) for the past two weeks, hence why I haven't been around and unlike some of you who I shan't mention, I resisted the temptation of logging in whilst I was away :P

[colVR4]

Judging from the weather reports it looks like some of us will be practicing our ice dancing in the next week.. yippee!!!

[BraindG]

having just checked weather for manchester, hail tomorow, and sleet the day after /toycar

Many cars in the USA don't have yellow indicators or side repeaters. The brake light on one side flashes for turn signalling, but it means that hazard warning lights are fairly pointless from behind.
