Living my entire life here in Michigan, I'm very familiar with those driving conditions. That SUV was flying and only God guided it between the fire truck and the cars off to the side.......

I'm lucky in that I only had one winter driving accident. It was late February about 40 years ago and I was heading home from a local ski resort about 2:00 a.m. in my MG. I was on an expressway, It was drizzling rain and I knew it was kind of slippery so I was only doing about 30 MPH. About a mile ahead I saw lots of flashing lights and knew what had happened so I immediately took my foot off the accelerator pedal and started to slowly guide my car off the highway and onto the snow covered shoulder. Didn't matter how cautions I was, my car slid sideways off the road and slid right up a guard rail with my front wheels hanging over it.......

That "kind of slippery" was the worst black ice I've ever witnessed, it was almost as if a zamboni had gone thru there and smoothed it out.

The tow trucks were busy that night.

The video you linked to actually showed a real near miss. The video this thread is based on is a joke. The maximum speed of the jeep in question was never going much more than 5 mph... just a bunch of stoned and drunk idiots in Seattle hitting a stoned and drunk woman’s vehicle with snowballs and her trying to fight back in a stoned and drunk fashion.
