Excellent video of a angry man stuck in snow. I think it would make a excellent training video on how not to drive and behave lol!

Pitty the guy filming didn't set up a burger stall while watching but maybe not a good idea as this guy would explode or just shoot someone!

But I has teh 4 wheel drive!!!!

 

Proof if any were needed that 4x0 (traction) is the same as 2x0.

what an idiot, why do people think maximum power will get you out of snow?.

Fantastic, definitely a good lesson of anger management  

Moar powa=better grip

I think he was spinning his wheels to melt the ice and find fresh Tarmac?

Didn't work though lol !

If you spin the wheels enough it will generate enough heat to melt the snow.................

 

Alternatively if you had some decent tyres..........

wouldn't it have to be a lot of wheel spin though, and then you risk getting traction and smashing into something else.

There's a video of someone spinning up and tyres popping in the snow.  Not sure it was youtube.

What an absolute turkey

damn a wish you had a link to that.

4X4 on summer tyres on snow = no traction.

 

Mary had a little lamb

It's feet where made of lard

And every single step it took

It slipped back half a yard.

Considering a Toyota Prius drove past, He shoulda just reversed onto the Tarmac and set off from there.

Ah. Uselessness.

4X4 on summer tyres on snow = no traction.

Yup. A video i watched reckoned a 2 wheel drive with snow tyres is better that a 4x4 with summer tyres.

And id have to agree. Our little polo is bloody brilliant in the snow.

I've experienced it myself. Back when I got my Octavia 4x4, it was winter and I had to drive it in the snow before I got the tyres for it. It was horrible compared to SWMBO's Polo on UltraGrip 8s. Traction is one thing, but more important is control. It's an absolute no brainer as far as I'm concerned.

Gotta try snow tyres on the front of a polo n summer tyres on the back.

Lift off oversteer to the extreme. Brilliant fun.

I know someone who did that with a Fabia. They ended up having to be towed out of a field having gone through a hedge backwards on a corner. It's all four or stay in for me and mine.

Meh. I did 3 bad buxton winters like that with no problem. Its perfectly controllable if you know its only got them on the front.

Makes it so much more fun :p.

Just dont stand on the brakes, because the back overtakes the front. Easy to work around though. Shouldn't be standing on the brakes in the snow anyway. Never a good idea is it.

What a total imbecile.

He was a physicist.

 

Figured if he could throw 50kg of snow out the back at a high enough velocity Newtons 3rd would propel him out the space (possibly into space).

 

Summer tyres and a stupid driver do not an off-roader make.

 

I eagerly await this winter for this chap or his kin to come flying past me on a snowy road at 80mph, probably in an X5.

Because flooring it in snow is always a good idea.

2 wd, 4 wd, 16 wd. None any use without traction or at the hands of an imbecile!

Always worked for me

I'm sure this guy must of attended the Jeremey Clarkson off road traing course?
