Snow driving = best kind of driving

Just another video of "winter bowling" with cars

Filmed in the city of Vladivostok.

It's got to be hard to tell your brain to let go of the brakes in a slide like that even though it's the right thing to do

It looks like they're sliding downhill into an existing pileup. Letting off the brakes might not be of much help in this case.

i'd rather try to steer it up onto a curb than into the pileup. at least there's the hope that there's less ice off the pavement.

That looks like ice covered with snow, really slick.

How come they don't have anti-lock brakes, or at least working anti-lock brakes, they look like modern vehicles?

The van actually appears to be in reverse - it's rear wheels are turning backwards...

Not that anti-lock brakes are going to be of any help on that and may be worse than useless.

They probably do have ABS, but once you're moving slowly enough, ABS may assume if all 4 wheels come to a stop, that you've actually stopped.

You have to release the brakes to let the wheels start spinning again, if you want the ABS to try again.
