If it were snow they wouldn't be having that hard of a time. That is glare ice, which is a 100% PITA.

Nice but once the vehicle starts sliding on the ice like that it seems all you can do is wait for impact. Do you put it in reverse? Do you put it in the lowest gear? Some of those vehicles were sliding sideways which means they had absolutely no traction at all. Glad that doesn't happen here.

I can't help but think that this was on a hill. Some of the cars seemed to pick up speed after they began sliding.

But yes, ice is nasty to try to drive on.


Have any of you ever had the misfortune of driving on ice that was being rained on? THAT is a REAL treat!

Actually, if you don't have abs and you are starting to slide sideways on ice like that with your brakes locked. Release the brakes and the tires might actually regain traction and be able to steer a little bit.
