I dont see why the people where jumping out it wont hurt that much rather stay in the car then get ran over

[Falcon[anti-yL]]

Wow maybe they should've put chains on their tires haha

I took it as them trying to stop it, otherwise they wouldn't have been holding on to the car when it's moving 10mph

They showed that clip on the local news here. I think the video is from Denver if I remember correctly.
I have to agree that jumping out of a car thats going 10mph is pretty stupid and the driver of the black car almost got runover by the white van. Notice that they were all female however? :p

If the wheels were turned towards the curb they might have had a better chance of stopping....

[Blaze]

Thats just winter for me. Not really funny.

Some were turned towards the curb and it was no help.

Now if they had antilock brakes and all-wheel-drive like my Volvo, the computers, taking 500 measurements per second, would prevent that mess by making sure the wheels turn and get some traction.  Go go Swedes!

They could've also tried releasing the brakes and steering

Ahwell, good thing they were going slow.

[shout]

That was funny. Now why would something like this happen? When people want to stop, and they don't, they press the brake down harder. Hahaha.

Car repair shop owners must be happy.

It would make them skid more, sorta.  They are skidding because of the lack of friction, by allowing the tires to turn less the car looses more friction & allows it to slide longer.

It also doesn't help that it takes the transportation department about 8 years to get around to cleaning off the streets.  I've driven from DIA through Denver a day after it stopped snowing and I-70/I-270/Highway 36 were still all covered with snow.  And don't tell me it was the wind, because they have those massive snow blocking things all around the highways.

*mutter*damn local government.

Buy a 4wd truck &/or have chains.  In conditions like that you should have chains anyway..driving on ice without chains, you nutty people...I'd almost think you were from California.

[Hitmen]

Conditions are constantly much worse than that here in the winter, and I've never seen a car with chains on the tires in my life. People in other parts of the country just need to learn to drive.
