Winter came to Portland and some people didn't know what to do...
Worst driving I've ever seen, but fun to watch

I was about to defend the americans for their shitty driving. I just bought a car with automatic gears... those are USELESS in snow!
Anyways, I watched the video... it's amazing that people are THAT shitty drivers!

I have a rear-wheel drive Volvo 240 2.2i with automatic transmission that I bought for use during the winter 2 years ago. I didn't think it was especially worse to drive than any other rear-wheel drive car in the snow
I've become a fan of rear-wheel drive cars. Although I must admit, some of them can be horrendous in slippery conditions, but then again, so can front-wheel drive cars, as well.

So much for rear-wheel drive.
Gonna buy a front-wheel drive car.

Can get a FWD for app. 100K less than a new BMW. Same size and better equipped, but less comfortable and less fun to drive.

So you're giving up on the BMW and going with some Suzuki/Ford/SoccerMom car now?:p

Unless I can come up with app. DKK 100K within the next 3-4 weeks, then yes.

I have just seen the best "%3BWatch-Your-Speed"%3B ad I've ever seen. We should get some of these shown here in FO.

No decision is so fine as to not bind us to its consequences.
No consequence is so unexpected as to absolve us of our decisions.

Extreme, but also true....
Denmark has run a few of these so-called 'scare-campaigns' a while back. They were very effective! But also brutal, but hey... that's life!
Good post and good video
