Thread: what the?????

Getting out of a car that is sliding like that seems a stupid thing to do!
They could have been "run over" by their own car.

yeah and it kinda looks like a close run thing, in my varied experience of mental driving in snow and black ice as is the instance here, you can try reversing like all buggery or change direction by going forward on a different lock, chances of achieving anything much in the extreme black ice as on this video, kinda looks a foregone conclusion, other than that sit tight you have a protective shell round you-you should be right

Black ice the feeling of inevitability as you slowly slide out of control. Those guys bailed as the car picked up speed. They even ignored the most basic of warnings...they could barely stand, let alone walk, on the stuff getting to their car.

And to think I used to hang out every year to take coaches up the snow
We are so lucky there are few days(nights) were these conditions exist on our roads.

That reminds me of this video I saw last year on you tube. Dont worry Lardy, plenty of crashes for you.

In the Dandenong ranges in winter we can get sections of black ice,mostly in the corners were there is plenty of shade.Dad had a bloke slide into the side of his truck which was parked on the side of the road.Did some damage to the car and scratched some paint on the truck.Not a good feeling not having control over were you are heading.I came a round a bend and hit water from a burst water main that was up a side street. Aqua planed for a distance,rotating a couple of times.
