MODERATORS
For sure, I bet they received a round of applause for pulling off that save.
It really isn't. Stop locking up the brakes.
But I'm prepared to be downvoted by 'experts' who have almost never actually driven in the snow.
The driver got the bus and the people in it down an icy slope, and nobody got harmed.
I call that success.
Yes, but skillful is a different thing entirely
It’s incredibly skilful and It’s not the correct thing to do.
Clearly not his first ice rodeo..
He's probably feeling deja vu.
Stupid driving
Some people are skillfully stupid.
Unlike me. I'm just stupid with no skills. Back in 2003, I pressed the preheat button on my convection oven. It caught fire.
Yep. That's the extent of my cooking experience.
Yeah I'd pull over and wait for the sander. Hopefully there's one.
Pull over on what? There was no shoulder.
Look left
Holy fuck it’s my shoulder!
The immediate left is the lane of oncoming traffic (you can see this late in the video looking ahead). To the left of the oncoming trafffic lane is a meter or so of grass, then a drop off to a ditch. You can see the left tall grass early in the video.
That's some fancy fucking driving! That person deserves a raise.
Oh, I'm sure his blood pressure raised.
You can see it starting to go bad and then the back tire catches some traction on the slop on the shoulder and he recovers. Sometimes the shoulder saves you.
A gravel shoulder saved me from a spin out one time during a blizzard
Dmv driving tests said it's best to not break and better to drive slowly to redirect.
Yep. Stay off the brakes, use the lowest gear you have available. Even most automatic transmissions let you select “L” for these situations.
When I drive my manual in icy conditions, I generally stay a gear lower than I normally would as a rule. Much easier to recover.
On my newer PHEV vehicle, there’s an icy driving mode and an L option (even though it’s a CVT, it can mimic a high-torque low gear).
Any idea where this is?

Right there center screen bro damn
Then everything goes to hell because dude in front of them was driving too slow.
How many points was that?
According to Tony Hawk Pro Skater:
- [360 Fastplant(250 x 2) + Hardflip(300) = 800] Crooked Grind(150+25) *multiplier 3* *sum 800*
You and I went very different ways with this.
I thought they were referring to a three point turn and asking how many points were involved in this turn.
Probably ... Probably you were closer to the original intent of the comment.
Videos that end too soon…
Only one of us can ride forever
So you and I can't ride together
Can't live or can't die together
All we can do is collide together
So I skillfully apply the pressure

Nah. I'm good down here with Helene and Milton.
I have a lot of experience driving in icy conditions, but I never would have attempted this.
