lol
what I always like about videos like this is.... people are happy to hang out of there window all day with a camcorder.... but they cant be bothered to maybe go outside and warn anyone, or maybe make a sign or something ?
maybe it looked different in person... but you could hardly see the ice in the vid there.... so its no surprise it caught some people off guard...

Arent you allowed to show vids of people so long as you dont show their face/identifying features?

There is no implied right to privacy in a public place.
Id tell her where to go.

And just think, they could have stayed in the car and then claimed for whiplash when they hit the wall. Or infact controlled it to safety.

It takes some experience and guts to let go of the brake pedal and try to steer out of the trouble.

Im pretty surprised there car doesnt have abs ?
T reg ? 1998 ish ?
but tbh.... the slid so easily, and so quickly, it was inevitable theyd crash.... even under control, theyd have no way to slow down and would be going too fast by the time they got to the bottom ?

ABS doesnt help, you hit the brakes all the wheels lock and the car has no idea its still moving

I think Bear has it right; I defy anyone in this situation not to weld their foot to the brake pedal.
The letter to the Youtube poster looks a bit odd to me; where would she send that? Are peoples addresses published on Youtube?
And if your car were heading towards a cliff, I bet youd try to get out!

I think the people would be able to figure out which house it was from the video. That or possibly after the video the people ran out to see if they could help, and mentioned it was going on youtube?

Basically someone is pissed that their insurance company may not pay out because they took the car out in conditions that are too dangerous. If youre in a public place like the public highway then the only permissions you need related to equipment and sometimes if youre very near somewhere like a school or government building. The guy is perfectly safe.
