Dont wanna to use winter tires?
-
As a Finn this is both compelling and shocking. It's not even that much snow.
-
Greetings form Poland, you call it disaster, we call it Monday:)
-
As a Swede, I'm amazed that you don't use gravel on the snow or winter tyres
-
1:09 The driver of the little red car dealt with that like a champ. ššš Brake gently and let the wheels turn. Thatās advice that Iāve always giv
-
I love how that girls immediate reaction was to jump out of a perfectly safe car and risk being hit by a giant lump of steel
-
As a Swede, I am completely amazed. So THIS is why we have to use winter tyres by law. I finally get it. :)
-
people see the cars crash and still drive. all insurance companies will love this youtube channel because it has recorded all the accidents xD
-
The level of driving demonstrated here is shocking. I noticed similar when it snowed heavily last and I had to drive out to rescue a friend who was stuck. People don't understand how to drive in the snow, especially with low/no traction. Do NOT lock the wheels, you will lose steering. Do not stop on a hill... someone did this in front of me. They kept stopping multiple times and then took several minutes to get going again. It was driving me insane.
-
The most shocking in the entire video is that even the police drive around without winter tiresā¦ here in the Netherlands we also rarely have snow but all emergency vehicles have winter tires and most cars also switch to winter tires or have all seasonsā¦
-
It's beyond me how people live in countries with a winter season, and don't switch to winter tyres. Even if there's no snow, the rubber compound in winter tyres is specifically geared towards low temperature/freezing conditions to ensure you maintain grip.

This reminds me of when we had a severe blizzard in Greece the day we decided to visit a ski resort. We still use chains here, not winteer tires, on the front wheels. I remember seeing the police on the entrance of the mountain road stopping anyone who had no chains for their cars and yet, when we came down some hours later I counted over 35 cars that had fallen to the sides. It was insane. I played it ultra safe, only 1st gear in and let gravity take me down. That ofcourse lead to taking over 40 minutes for normally a 15 minutes trip but still, I wouldn't endager my friends' lives over 25 minutes of our time.

Im from Sweden, and I actually had to use summertires to go to the tireshop in snow, I would never do that again. Could hardly turn the car at 5km/h. Had my winter tires fitted, and it was like driving on a normal road.
-
"What's the weather like?" "It's heavily snowing, ice everywhere!" Everyone in Gloucestershire "We'll risk it then"
-
Trouble is when I drive past easily with my winter tyres on, I will probably get hit by one of these Morons.

That woman that got out of the back seat is a lunatic š®she never once looked back to see if a vehicle was coming straight at her . She is a danger to herself. And to others acting like that .
-
As a Brit in Canada ā¦The uk is not prepared for snow of any amount ā¦No roads salted or plowed(government fail) And no winter tires on any vehicles (but in defence thereās not enough snow each year to justify winter tires) best just to stay at home for the day or 2 that it snows
-
1:56 I love the fact that all around the cars are sliding meanwhile a guy on a bike making his way up the hill just fine š
-
One thing us English can never boast about is our ability to deal with snow
-
As a person whos from Latvia and where we get average -20(celsius) and lower winters I am shocked how underdeveloped some countries are at winter.
