I live on a mountainside in Montana accessed by miles of dirt/gravel road. I used to play this game to see how far I could get home in 2wd. I stopped playing when my pickup went out of control faster than I thought possible with me heading towards a power pole on the opposite side of the road. Only the snow plowed up around the base of the pole saved my truck from serious damage.
I did manage to crack the plastic part, under the chrome bumper, where the fog lights are. A cheap lesson for being stupid.
Winter driving is not a game. Snow is fine ... but ice is deadly.
I live in the foothills outside of a Montana town and ALWAYS have four studded snow tires on our vehicles.
Makes a HUGE difference in cornering and stopping.
I highly doubt any of the drivers in these Russian videos had appropriate tires for the conditions. WAY too much sliding and drifting...
