Full Video of Horrible Ice Driving

Okay, so there's a video...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npTRXr4Sgxg

That's a drastically shortened version of the full video. I remember seeing this video, but it had several minutes before this one starts. Unfortunately, I can't find it. Facts I know about this video: it was in Seattle after a massive snow storm on December 18, 2008. Anyone know where I can find the full video? Thanks!

EDIT: Okay, apparently it might be from Portland, Oregon. So... not sure.

    I know it was in the terrible driving thread in D&D, I can't locate it though.

    Is snow really rare out there or something? Because that is some hilariously awful driving.

    I remember that vid. IIRC, the ground under the snow was mostly ice, and those streets are actually inclines. It's just hard to get a feel for the slant from the camera angle. (actually, near the end of the vid, the camera is at ground level, and you can really see the hills)

    That, and who would be so dumb as to try driving after seeing so many other crashes?! That's "stay at home" time.

    I don't believe it - I'm on my THIRD PS3, and my FIRST XBOX360. What the heck?

    This and unexperienced drivers.

    And you can't always stay home. Edmonton is that white (not as icey) about a month ago and will be until March.

    What do you do if you are on a steep incline and the entire road under you is ice?

    Pray, and aim for a curb if there aren't any cars parked along the side of the road.

    When I was in San Francisco, I wondered how people would get around those steep roads during winter.

    Though for me (Edmonton with minor exception) is VERY flat.

    Thankfully we rarely ever see snow on the ground here and never any significant amount. I'd stay the hell away from the street if we ever saw weather like in that video.

    Video's in Seattle, or at least, not in portland.

    The problem with that video is that the idiot keeps hitting the gas. I mean, obviously conditions are terrible, cars just don't move that way on less than two inches of ice, but driver #1 is an idiot for not just letting friction bring him to a stop.

    The pedestrians sort of weird me out, too. I mean, how many cars do you have to see spin out before you realize that the sidewalk is probably not that safe a place to be anymore?

    And yeah, conditions like that are that rare in the northwest.

    If you have no grip, you're a passenger.

    If you have any grip at all, use engine braking to manage your speed and keep rolling until you get to somewhere you can safely stop. If that isn't an option (i.e. you can't manage your speed or there isn't anywhere safe to point the car), yeah, aim for the kerb or a solid object before your speed gets too high.

    Just gotta keep those tires spinning.

    Stay in 1st gear and have halfway decent tires you should be fine. That is some horrifically bad winter driving though, my God.

    If you're going down a steep icy incline and your car is plunging toward a precipice, and you jump out of the vehicle will you hit the ground and continue sliding off anyway or come to a stop?

    well, king 5 is out of seattle, and I assumed they weren't just playing two minutes of portland drivers being terrible for the chuckles

    maybe they were, though

    Generally you will maintain the inertia of the car even after exiting, so it's 99% of the time better to just stay in the car as it's a giant metal cage around you.
