      I concur - it seems like the chances of recovering so gracefully (vs ending up in a ditch, or similar) are miniscule.

      Plus the while setting is conveniently clear, like its been planned

      Agreed. Something about their driving seemed very deliberate. Either that or they’re an asshole that got luckey

      In Aus they do it on gravel with bunky utes. In UAE they do it on bitumen with new Mercs. Takes a bit of fine tuning but it’s the same same.

          They clearly lack skill and knowledge based on the shitty uncontrolled spin that they barely pulled themselves out of. Did they have to better than 90% of drivers to know how to countersteer? Yes. Are they still dogshit compared to the top 1% also yes except they think they’re invulnerable as it’s usually poorly (if at all) trained teenagers and young adults that do incredibly stupid shit like this.

            What a weird gatekeep-y comment. “They didn’t perform as well as the top 1% they’re incredibly stupid” what is it with this post that has all the butthurt people coming out

              Probably all the people doing things like this that think they’re hot shit and then kill a family of 4 being an idiot on public roads.

            Could you share the link to some of your driving videos?

            I like cars and I’d love to see your stuff.

        Yeah, you should never film while driving…especially in snowy conditions…and definitely not with your arm out the window

          The car filmed does seem to have European plates, so the person filming could be the passenger of a right hand drive car. But I can’t really tell much more from the video

            There are only a few countries in Europe that have right have drive cars, most well known is England. On the mainland we mostly do it the normal way.

      People forget to change from summer tyres to winter tyres when the frost arrives.

        Yeah, he’s clearly done this before. You don’t simply spin out like this and not end up losing control and hitting a by sheer accident. Keeping the car going straight like this requires a fair amount of countersteering.

    Granted there were no other cars on the road at the time, I did the same thing as a young adult. I took my 1985 Pontiac Fiero GT iceskating on a 3 lane highway with about 0.5-1.5 inch of snow and ice buildup
