Coach bus drifts down an icy hill.

That was really skillful driving.
- It really isn't. Stop locking up the brakes.
  
  But I'm prepared to be downvoted by 'experts' who have almost never actually driven in the snow.
  
  The driver got the bus and the people in it down an icy slope, and nobody got harmed.
  
  I call that success.
  
  It’s incredibly skilful and It’s not the correct thing to do.
- For sure, I bet they received a round of applause for pulling off that save.
- Longer wheelbase vehicles don’t rotate quite as quickly so you have a lot more time to correct before things go haywire. They finally started to get the hang of the brakes and manually pulsing them near the end. At the beginning every time he locked up the brakes it just rotated more.
  
  ABS doesn’t really help here because it works by a difference in speed between the wheels. If they’re all locked up then there is no difference.
  
  Correct, this would be a job for ESP which has more input data, like steering angle, and can brake the wheels individually. This bus does not have it.
  
  So the Anti-Lock Brakes don't work because they are locked up?
- Stupid driving
  
  Some people are skillfully stupid.
  
  Yeah I'd pull over and wait for the sander. Hopefully there's one.
- Clearly not his first ice rodeo..
  
  Maybe not a good thing if he regularly rides sideways.
  
  He's probably feeling deja vu.
You can see it starting to go bad and then the back tire catches some traction on the slop on the shoulder and he recovers. Sometimes the shoulder saves you.
- A gravel shoulder saved me from a spin out one time during a blizzard
Snowtires please
Any idea where this is?
- Republic of Sakha, in far east Russia.
  
  Extremely unsuprising
Videos that end too soon…
I have a lot of experience driving in icy conditions, but I never would have attempted this.
"I'll just wait for June, thanks."
Nah. I'm good down here with Helene and Milton.
Only one of us can ride forever

So you and I can't ride together

Can't live or can't die together

All we can do is collide together

So I skillfully apply the pressure

- No space for drivers, no space for walkers
  
  No space regardless
  
  You're on my path? Then get off it!
  
  ~~That bus, probably~~ Mos Def
Looks like dude just lost control and breaks all the time.

If you lock your wheels you can't steer, just go man! You can break at the bottom.

Edit: don't go if there is any danger, take a joke people lol. Still driver seems to be an idiot IMO risking the people in the bus.
- Nah there were cars ahead, if he gained too much momentum he was screwed, besides he wasn't just slamming on the breaks, there was roll going on there, just wasn't helping much. Once he got enough control again he even bothered to turn on his flashers.
A bunch of people in a perilous situation: survive
