The driver of this Subaru Impreza is either a trained professional, incredibly lucky, or both.

Subaru can fix stupid.
Trick driving.
Looks like an idiot driver to me. After doing a 360, doesn’t have the smarts to slow down and stop trying to pass everyone on icy roads.
It’s an idiot.
A trained driver wouldn’t risk innocent lives.
This particular track appeared on a Bryan Adams' compilation album back in 2000. It was never released on a studio album and was NOT a hit in the United States. However, it went Top 10 in Canada (Bryan is a Canadian resident) and thus very likely to be played on Canadian radio on a regular basis.
Subies are great, but some people when driving a WRX or STI are too stupid for even Subarus to save.
There are a lot of two week old, rolled WRX/STIs in the salvage yards.
Their drivers never heard of Newton’s Laws of Motion. For some strange reason, neither have the video games they played before getting their Subarus
I own a Sube turbo, love it, but even I will admit that your typical young male WRX driver is a little too confident that the laws of physics are stacked in his favor.
Saw a guy roll a brand new one that still had temporary tags on it in light snow and sleet, just enough on the road to break traction in the shady spots. The facial expression of the farmer in whose front yard he eventually landed was priceless, “you #%$@ fool,” lol.
Too bad about the car, it was a nice one.
Brilliant analsys! Fantastic detective work!
It also happens to be wrong. The fact that you heard a radio and didn't hear a siren means this was a private dash cam, not a police dash cam.
The license plate on the Suburau, and in fact the license plates of all the cars in the video are of the european style, not the U.S. sized license plates used in Canada.
This was most likely shot somewhere in Russia, where for insurance reasons the private Dash Cam is uniquely almost a universal automotive accessory.
I’d love to have a WRX, or especially the new Outback (the diesel version from Europe would be great!)
I’ve got a ‘98 Outback now. It’s getting a bit old. Also have an ‘85 GL with the 2-Speed transfer case. I had an undetected mouse nest in the heater fan housing catch fire after a long uphill pull in the mountains. Messed up the wiring before I could get the garden hose down to put it out. Ugh!
We took it off the road, but it still runs well enough to pull a DR road grader. We have 1.4 miles of dirt road down the mountain to the pavement. The Subaru & DR grader do a great job, at least until I hit an embedded large rock and pop the shear bolt on the grader tongue.
It is not the UK because they are not on the barbarian side of the road. But you are right that it is a European license plate. I don’t think the roads are that good in Russia however. Maybe Northern Germany the South would have hills
That's a pretty sweeping statement for a country that spans 11 time zones.
Worse than average Russian road and it is Russia, indeed. Plates, set of vehicles on road, architecture, background cursing in Russian. Probably Pacific North East or Eastern Siberia.
