Welcome to winter, bitches. I love videos like these... so much stupidity while others just stand there and watch the world burn.
For me, this is the order: 1. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 2. Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas (the one with Jim Carrey) 3. Die Hard 4. Elf 5. A Christmas Story Bad Santa, The Ref, Love Actually, Home Alone, and all the little animated 30 minute classics are okay. But, I can make it without them. The others MUST be watched. I am hoping that Office Christmas Party makes its way on to the list, because it looks like it has a chance to be hilarious. I think a total flameout is also possible, though.
As an insurance agent I can tell you I hate this time of the year. Even if I'm home where it's warm and cozy I still have to deal with the crap that is dipshits that don't know how to and should not be driving in snowy weather.
Double post. Am I the only one here that has never seen Love Actually? And hey @Juice, turnabout. So suck it.
The best part about that video Nett posted, was the SNOW PLOW driver and POLICE OFFICER were right in there with the dipshits. I mean, I'm from Georgia. You should expect that kind of stupidity from me behind the wheel in those conditions. I can do snow, but ice on a hill? Fuck that.
Yeah, that snow plow was beyond perfect... you could not have scripted that scene any better. Buses and cars and more buses and oh, here's the police so everything will be fine... SNOW PLOW BITCHES.
I will never watch that movie because I had an ex who absolutely loved it. She is dead to me, and so is this sappy pussified-Tarantino-narrative.
It was in there, just from the street angle. Maybe the other person's battery died. I just watched it again to see - is it just me, or did the music change from when I watched it the first time?
The funniest thing is the video is from Canada. How the hell can those folks not know how to drive in the snow?
Montreal Quebec Canada to be exact. In Montreal, it is against the law to NOT have snow tires. Which makes the whole thing even more mind-boggling.
I'm just surprised no one decided to shutdown that section of road. Apparently no one thought of that and clearly it made more sense to send two more buses, a cop car, and a plow down the black ice covered slope.
Fresh ice with a light dusting of dry snow is a non-stick surface... unless you're rocking some seriously studded winter tires (which are illegal in most cities because they chew up the roads), you're fucked. Even the best snow tire is beyond useless in that situation. I had that happen to me one time... I was driving down a slight hill and it had just snowed a bit one night, and unbeknownst to me the road was ice. I had no stopping ability whatsoever, and was picking up speed and coming to a T-intersection stop sign. Like a couple of those cars showed, I had slight turning capabilities, so could steer ever so slightly, as long as the wheels weren't locked up. I ended up turning slightly so that I went up on someone's front lawn... it was snow covered, but no ice, so I was able to get traction on the soft grass, slow down, and turn... all the while not colliding with the parked cars on the other end of the intersection. I'm sure the home owners freaked out a bit when they woke up in the morning and saw car-tracks on their snow-covered lawn, but I didn't hit anything, caused no real damage, and didn't stick around to try and explain that to anyone.
That's probably why the cops were there with their lights on. 911: "what is your emergency?" caller: "there are 5 cars and 2 buses crashed at the bottom of an icy road" 911: "we'll send out someone to handle it" *** 911: "what is your emergency?" caller: "there are 5 cars, 2 buses, and a cop car crashed at the bottom of an icy road" 911: "we'll send out a sander to handle it..."
