That was really skillful driving.
For sure, I bet they received a round of applause for pulling off that save.

So the Anti-Lock Brakes don’t work because they are locked up?

Yeah, this has been my experience. I’ve got ABS on my current car but in winter the main advantage they provide is letting me know when it’s time to pump the brakes if I need to come to a stop. The times I haven’t pumped, let’s just say I was lucky that no one else was going through that intersection at the time.
I suspect they are tuned to avoid locking up the wheels in conditions other than ice/slick snow and the pulse is too quick for the tires to get traction when it releases.
Yep if all the wheels are locked up it just thinks you are stationary, ABS only kicks in if there is a difference like it front wheels lock but back wheels are rolling. Smarter systems (like on bikes) would also monitor motion.
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

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.
Clearly not his first ice rodeo…
Maybe not a good thing if he regularly rides sideways.
Don’t kinkshame.
He’s probably feeling deja vu.
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
Any idea where this is?
Republic of Sakha, in far east Russia.
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.
“I’ll just wait for June, thanks.”A bunch of people in a perilous situation: survive
Person filming: sad LiveLeak noisesLooks like dude just lost control and breaks all the time.
If you lock your wheels you can’t steer, just go man! You can break at the bottom.
Edit: don’t go if there is any danger, take a joke people lol. Still driver seems to be an idiot IMO risking the people in the bus.
Nah there were cars ahead, if he gained too much momentum he was screwed, besides he wasn’t just slamming on the breaks, there was roll going on there, just wasn’t helping much. Once he got enough control again he even bothered to turn on his flashers.
