My wife's sister and her husband live in Spokane. They get a bit more snow than we do because eastern Washington and Oregon are colder. That's about 4 hours east of us.

 

You would think people would know better and stay off the road when the snow and ice hard packs.

 

I rarely drive on that stuff, and my concern is the other morons who think studded tires and 4 wheel drive are sufficient.

 

In winter, I carry 2 sets of tire chains in my truck and don't drive on that kind of surface without 2 or all 4 tires chained. I love the set that has the V-bars welded to the links.

 

One of the best segments in this video is the FedEx truck foreseeing the danger and darting off to the left for safety. Likely with a set of chains on too.

talk about a car crash moment, that was bonkers and terrifying. Stay in the house or walk lol

I like the guy at the beginning who sees his vehicle is going to be hit and closes the drivers door on his car - like that is going to make any difference.

 

It takes a lot of guts to take your foot off the brakes and drive in this situation . . .
