Gotta say the people filming are typical british scum.

There are a number of things they could have done but instead they chose to reach for the camera and film the whole think. They were clearly waiting the next car to come along and do that.

Utter scum.

I would have to agree, and the the 2 walking guys could also have done something (maybe they did try they were off camera).

In or out of the car they could clearly do nothing, just very dangerous to jump out when you are on the downhill side of the car.

I thought the same. I'm obviously missing the funny part of seeing someone not only crash their car, but possibly get injured too.

Ah so the chap filming is to blame when a driver is incapable of assessing conditions.

Presumably the streets they'd been driving down before this estate road were lined with bikina clad girls and chaps in shorts basking in the summer sunshine.

Hows about people actually taking responsibility for their own actions, i'm surprised no one's blamed the council or the government yet, but i won't hold me breath.

Has anyone recently had a conversation with a young person especially if they're driving involving any sort of advice being given?

For the joyless !!!!!!s who think we could have stopped them from where we were, !!!! off. the couple were actually warned by their next door neighbour before they got in the car.

Also, if you see a flash of orange to the left of the frame near the start of the vid, that's a recovery truck stuck in the middle of the road at a 90 degree angle and had been there for 3 hours. There were nearly a dozen people on the street when this happened, and yet STILL they drove on :spaz:

What an ignorant and selfish attitude to have.

We help each other out in life you know. You cant expect everyone to be experienced and knowledgable in every aspect of life for goodness sake. Thats why you do the decent thing and shovel a bit of salt out of the yellow bin or flag the next driver down to alert them.

Honestly its people like you that are the reason this country is the state its in. People like you that see no problem with two idiots hanging out a window filming others about to crash their cars.

As for your remark about the gritters. Sure, the council will pull resources and tend to a remote residential side street- thats sensible. Why do you think grit bins are located in residential non primary gritting routes?

But in your world its every man for themself. The drivers that negociated that icy road, like you, didnt bother to pull over and throw some salt on the ground or alert the council to its particularly dangerous conditions.

Scum.
