That will be difficult, especially since I have no idea what "inerigate" means. Image

Interesting watching people literally "bailing out" of moving cars. (And people wonder why everyone wants to live in California.)

i thought that WAS (Southern) California with a rare bit of snow - explaining the lack of ability of the people to drive in snow, stupidity of jumping out of the car into traffic and almost getting squished, etc. [X(]

It appears every one of those cars had their wheels locked, something that probably wouldn't happen if it snowed in that locality very often.

Why the heck are the jumping out???

The speeds aren't all that high. They aren't gonna get hurt staying in their seats...

I used to believe in Darwinism. However these folks prove that stupidity is a dominant gene. And they live long enough to have kids...

This is one of the things that makes be believe they are not somewhere that gets much snow... if you jump out, the guy behind you might run you over, and if its slippery enough that you can't control your car, you are going to have trouble using your feet to get up and move around. The guy who bailed from the driver's seat almost became Winter Squash. One person did appear to be trying to stop the car by sticking their feet into the snow on the side (which, while it did show they were thinking, they weren't thinking very clearly. They sure weren't going to be able to stop a car sliding downhill and risked a couple of broken legs. They would have been better off steering the car up over the curb and trying to use the deeper snow to stop the slide, though i doubt that would have worked very well.)

You can pause the video and see the plates. They are dark green, with a white mountain "forground". Vermont?

The video came from .de domain (Germany), but they sound and look US in the video.

It's the ol' call for 'shoe brakes' I believe. They watched too much of the Flintstones.

Yes you're right. I though it too. IIRC the 2nd or the 3rd car is a Mercedes M Klass SUV. It should have a tyre which is M&S (is mud and snow). I though it was from California Beach whatever, they weer acting so strangely.
