Ive been in a car crash but I'm fine btw it was a few years ago ❤
I loved this video keep it up wham
Allen aim for the Kern River next time. So we have an interesting video to watch without you around to provide a stupid narrative.
Only covers 20 and 21 inch wheels, not 18 inch ones....
@@Trust_but_Verifycheck out rim magic. Mechanical installation instead of double sided tape. Easy to take off, put back on for new tires. German engineered automotive grade aluminum.
"My car didnt tell me there was ice! and im driving like an idiot on a road with low visibility!" Dont be like alan, Alan is an idiot.
*You forgot to add: and my car didn't tell me I was driving like an idiot either so it's the car's fault.*
💯👌
@radicalrick9587 It should be common sense. Even if your car doesn't tell you.
@@itsjaden697 *I was merely adding on to the main post, making it funnier.*
@radicalrick9587 Yes I know. I was just adding to yours. 👍
can't wait for Alans next submission when he thinks all-seasons are going to save him from his shitty driving
exactly, I think skills is important, he probably drove too fast around the corners and didn't want to admit it and blame others for not reminding him..
Wild guess...but Tesla's being so heavy probably makes them even more likely to do this. But ice is ice, you have to go slow.
He was going way too fast and crossing the centerline, and thinks an "ice warning" from the car would have helped.... Meanwhile there is snow on the side of the road, so clearly it is cold. 😂
Yes Alan also said his tesla didn't warn him of icey conditions. Alan needs to get the bus in future. I didn't continue any further with this video on account of the narrators god awful whiney-ness.
@@cawsticky1322I doubt that based on your three other comments, but ok
"His Tesla never warned him about freezing conditions".....🤔🤔
Hahaha and it’s hilarious because the temperature outside the car is displayed on the touchscreen
Guess what? Is it close to 32F? Then assume there might be ice
@@CLxJames Especially while driving uphill where you can expect it to get colder anyway. double facepalm.
Some people don't know that even though air temperature is above freezing, the ground might still be frozen...Triple face palm for blaming his Tesla instead of HIMSELF for driving with summer tires in winter, damn idiot.
As he drives by snow, haha
This would be a good new feature. I would think that the car could know that the friction suddenly decreased on the tires and warn the driver of icy patches or hydroplane danger.
Alan, even winter tires won't stop you from getting into a mess in these conditions. There's times you can use your 1000 BHP but this wasn't one of them. Instead of maintaining your speed and crossing over the central lines, try slowing down for the corners before you get there. I'm not sure I can also accept you didn't realise it was cold. Keep safe everyone, as this first clip demonstrates how easily non-fatal clips can turn into a fatality.
Driving way too fast for the conditions.
I agree, it's a good thing Alan had his satellite phone with him though. Those can be pricey, but a life saver when you need help. Although it did take responders a few hours to get to him.
Sequoia is a few hours from where I'm at. Honestly I wouldn't even think of driving on summers in winter months but like Alan if I was up there I might not have though about ice on the roads. If the low has been above freezing the past few days I wouldn't expect to encounter ice on the roads either 😅
"But the Tesla didn't warn me..." 😅😅😅😅
@@matthewbowen5841most Tesla drivers suffer from an increased ego, god complex and lack of driving skill. Alan proved that right away lmfao
It’s just a software fix, see neural link.
I always get a bit annoyed when a person crashes in poor driving conditions then blames the car for not warning them it was icy!! Driving up a mountain in the winter should be the ONLY clue you need about ice.
You also have people who back into things and blame their back-up camera for not working when they have a perfectly good rearview mirror.
So last month I was driving a rental 2024 Mercedes suv of some type, when it decided that I was going to crash into a car that had already crossed my bow while, I was stopped at a Stop sign in a shopping center parking lot. As the other car was completing the turn into the opposing traffic lane, I began to accelerate to about 4-7 mph when my brakes went full whoa, coming to an unexpected stop about half way thru the intersection. I thought that the transmission had locked up. A car behind me who was turning right jammed on his brakes to avoid me and he got hit from behind. We all said “Thank you Mercedes”.
On the way back to the rental joint I also noticed that this latest Gen Mercedes accident avoidance detection system to be not near as good as the previous Gen system, especially the lane changing detection giving false conflict warnings.
So I returned the car and found an air cooled 911 on Turo. It had no power steering, no power windows, Cold air conditioning capable of cooling the interior to 70° on an overcast 74° day. It also had something called a clutch pedal and a 5 speed shift it yourself transmission, a radio with knobs and push buttons, a Big Tachometer directly in front of the driver and some other gauges too. I rolled down the drivers window, rested my elbow on the widow sill ( try that in todays slipper mobile) and went began to drive back to my hotel but twice I missed my turn off as I was having too much fun. And it never once went whoa without my Input.
To be fair to the idiot. The road was in perfect condition. It's just the one spot where water run off from the mountain goes that had anything close to poor conditions.
Idiot + ice = crash
Lmfao Alan is driving like it’s broad daylight, dry roads, and 75 degrees out
Deserved 🤣
I feel your pain Alan, my Tesla didn't warn me there was a cop around the corner with a radar gun.
🤣
So you didn’t pay extra for the one with the radar detector?
I hate to be critical of him since many drivers are clueless to this, but Alan was actually warned that there were slick spots, not by the Tesla but by the road. You can see the color changes in the road prior to that curve. Those spots that look like just wet patches are going to be black ice in freezing conditions. Had he known that, he might have slowed down and stopped having fun cutting all the corners like he did.
You can easily tell its below freezing... smh
But But But muh Tesla didn't warn me!!!111111
I mean, the frost in the grass beside the road is also a dead giveaway, but I also completely agree about the road surfice. You can clearly see the conditions shifting between frost/ice and clear.
Tesla never warned him about freezing conditions... Opens window, sticks hand out: Yes, it's freezing.
Actually, teslas tell you the external temperature on the display. You just have to be smart enough to pay attention.
or just have eyes and see that there's snow on the road and in the side of the road
He also drove past 3 advisory signs and at the start of the video the he was already all over the road.
Bro that guy driving with knives just put in a non secure box like that? The fuck? Lol
Yeah he has 2 trunks how does a idiot aford such an expensive car?!
Alan is an example of a person with way more money than their decision making can support.
Plaid. Mountain cabin. Satellite phone.
Some Final Destination stuff right there.
@@jeremyn83 😂
@@maybeafterlunch yup 💀
Ahhhh, my car didn't tell me that there was ice 😮. Oh my
My car tells me the weather, and that the roads are covered in ice!
Makes an audible beep if it detects black ice!
I love it! Very helpful!!
@@melissahaire7058 Or just look at the temp outside and the snow on the side off the road
That has to be a flaw in design. The car should've been more alerted to icy contions.
@SoraFan23 it's really weird since my 7yo Tesla does show an icy road warning. I guess it's really impossible to guess there might be ice on the road in the mountains in winter. Let's chalk it up to bad luck!
@@melissahaire7058so it would beep AND drive off the road in this scenario? That's not helpful.
Outside of driving too fast for conditions, not having winter tires, driving with an unsecured load of knives and blaming the car for not warning him, Alan was doing a fine job driving - lol!
Even when air temps are above freezing, shaded areas can remain frozen.
But Alan apparently doesn't understand that.
😂 darwin award. How does such a idiot afford such an expensive car?! Crazy
@@patmcbride9853and especially bridges
Another person dumbed down, by a "smart" item.
not even! even ignoring all the things you pointed out, he was still crossing over the yellow line
0:40 , you failed to report he was also speeding.
And ignored 3 advisory signs of the road's layout, and he was already over the yellow line
He passed three different signs that said 25 MPH and he definitely looked like he was traveling faster than that
Also the brake lights on that FedEx truck turned on momentarily. I think there was a driver
My instant guess was he had medical problems.
@@mantas8443 No, he just can't drive safely, that's it. Some people need to just stay off the road and nothing more.
If you watch the clip in slow mo you won't see anyone behind the wheel. The impact over the curb could trigger the brake lights, or perhaps an unconscious (or deceased) body in the footwell could have hit the brakes as the impact jostled them around.
Or a loose package.
@@amzarnacht6710 Yea more likely
Alan went in to that final turn at about 50.
Alan is a perfect example of over reliance on technology.
The Sat phone was the only thing that helped him, but using common sense would have done the trick without damage to the car.
Well he could have used AP but that would have slowed significant in the corners, also he probly disabled lane assist otherwise it would have screamed at him driving over the lines all the time xD
I lived in Chicago for a few years and that taught me to never open my door without keeping hold of it unless I am 110% sure it’s a windless day and just never in IL.
11:20 UgoLord would probably say the Buick Driver would be at fault because this is technically a miss and run
Making him liable for all the damages that happened next.
Definitely, if someone else fucks up but you don't hit them and proceed to overcorrect and hit someone/something else, that is your fault.
But he would add, "If you try to avoid a collision, you have to do it safely for the third parties"
Two wrong parties. The sedan collided anyway. More than that, it was the most dangerous type of collision - small overlap. Apply the breaks and stay in your lane.
12:24 it wasnt his fist, he was hiding a window punch tool that often shatters the window
These videos go to show you that just because you have Tesla doesn't mean it always protects you against car collisons but it may help you filling a claim thanks to the Tesla Cams.
dash cam on any car can easily do this too
When you are traveling in cold weather you need to be smart. Keep blankets in your vehicle so you can survive the cold. Keep water and snacks.
Do your homework before you leave on a trip in winter weather. It is 100% your responsibility.
Thank you for your hard work on your channel.
I don't rely on a vehicle to tell me about road conditions. How about looking at the road conditions with your eyes?
#5 is a textbook example of why you do not swerve. If the Buicks plate had not been captured then the Mercury drive would have been at fault for failure to maintain lane.
Exactly!
And the sedan driver could still be held liable in a civil case - esp if the buick driver did not have enough to sue for.
@@amzarnacht6710 Yea you would have to sue both drivers. The Merc driver would then have to sue the Buick driver or have put on a good enough case to have a judge remove them from liability.
I couldn't believe the Mercury driver didn't hit the brakes sooner. That Buick was clearly in the left lane...
#13 jail time for that uninsured driver. Vechicle wasn't registered and driver lied. Make them also pay out of pocket for the damages.
#8 liar and falsifying a police report. No sense of personal responsibility.
And no consequences. They keep lying and getting away with it. It needs to change. I see it all the time on sovereign citizen videos where they have no registration or insurance, fake plates, and no license and the cops just give them tickets and they drive down the road. Those cars should be impounded and the driver thrown in jail.
CJ is an awesome and empathetic human being. Thank you.
Thanks & you're welcome
@@CaptainCJ97 That was very kind of you to do! Sometimes, work gets the better of us, and people make mistakes. We need more people like you!
Hey now... I'm the real C.J.
@@CaptainCJ97 Welcome to the cool C.J. club.
For the first one: blaming your car for not showing icy conditions when its obviously winter and obviously not a good idea to run summer tires on your car while not driving carefully on mountain road is just negligence.
The first Tesla video was asking for the accident, going that fast. He should put his hazard light and drive slow.
11:20 would be considered a "miss and run". Close to a hit and run minus the collision. Where I'm from, Texas, a Miss and Run is a Third-degree felony (i think) if it involves injury and the penalty is like up to 10k in fines...ouch. In short the Buick would/ should be found at fault
Any hit and run, or 'miss' and run, that involves injury to other parties is a felony. The degree of felony is up to the DA.
So... if a BLM does it, they'll get pled down to a misdemeanor. If anyone else does it they'll be looking at 3-5 years and no bail.
Why is it that people can just lie about an crash and they don't lose their license over it? Lying to the police illegal lying to insurance illegal both jail able offenses, but you can just cause crashes and lie about it as long as you aren't on drugs it's ok?
Apparently, it was proven that the shock of a crash can scramble your brains enough to make you talk complete garbage. I read an article about this a few years back.
In the Ford Explorer brake check, even if the Tesla driver was at fault, nothing excuses the failure to stop. Why did the liar flee the collision if they were the victim? His own conduct poked holes in his story. The idiocy of the insurance company to simply take his word without the facts. Oh wait...
@@nboddie1036The insurance company’s default position should always be that their driver is not at fault. They aren’t in business to pay out free money. Make them work for it. If he didn’t have footage, they may have won the case
#1 is why you always have weather appropriate clothing in your car. Things like a heavy coat, blanket, and other emergency items. The satellite phone is something most of us "won't" have.
Coming out on apple phones-got one for alpinism. Better keep that phone tucked in to an inner pocket for what battery temp. Everything else on your list, absolutely. Head torches are great too
Super great advice. I def need to add some things to my car kit but I always keep a blanket, toolbox, jump starter, paper towels, and of course, a brush/scraper. Basic but a start haha
@@shannonking6402 heh. I owned a mark I mini: WD40, tow rope and a hammer.
Drives way too fast on a cold mountain winding road with summer tires... in a 1k HP rear wheel drive bias and rear brake bias vehicle... with cutlery in the occupant cabin... blames Tesla for not warning him.
Hey that’s me at 9:20! Honored to be on Wham Bam again!
Zac heard a crunch!
I wonder how many of these videos where they ask for more info actually succeed? A compilation of such videos with updates would be pretty cool IMO.
In Germany it is a felony to drive without insurance. How are the laws in the US? Is it really tolerated to drive without proper insurance?
No, it isn’t but poors who bought a car they can’t afford just stop paying their insurance and keep driving anyway
Im not exactly sure if that FedEx truck was a runaway bcuz when the van goes up the freeway hill, you see the brake lights light up for a few seconds before they go back off 📴
Yeah I noticed that too.
What an idiot, Alan expected the car to warn him about freezing conditions.
💯
My Honda tells me. So did my VW. Entirely possible the Tesla DID but Speedy McSpeedyton wasn’t paying attention.
How did these people used to drive when cars weren't like smartphones. I just upgraded from an 2009 Elantra that didn't have any such warnings. I didn't even get outside temp
Summer tires are exactly that! They are meant for when temps are above 50F. Even the tire specs say do NOT operate the vehicle below 40*F. Their grip is significantly reduced. And summer tires often have a temperature that is referred to as the Glass temperature. This is the temp at which the tire rubber essentially freezes solid. As you approach this the tires grip won’t just get reduced. It will disappear entirely.
If you run a summer/winter tire set you should switch to winter set as soon as the temp regularly falls below 50*F.
Alan was speeding. Sat phone and knives…?Alan works for a 3 letter agency.
LOL, but I don't think so. Driving a $150k car, cabin deep in the woods... I'd have a sat phone as well.
@@realulli na, he's 100% a fed that got lucky his fuck-around score was only at a 4 that day
FAA
Where did I leave my tinfoil hat?😂
In France it's pointless to call the cops for a fender bender, they will come only if there's injury.
10:33 is the perfect example as to why you should not avoid a vehicle that cut you off.
Most large police departments in America won't respond to minor crashes either unless it's blocking the road or something.
I've been hit and every time we just exchanged insurance and move on. It takes 35.7 seconds and everyone gets back to their lives.
A police report rarely changes the outcome for anything assuming everyone is acting in good faith.
I've had way too many close calls in roundabouts. Mostly drivers who just drive straight through at full speed, not bothering to look for oncoming cars or even slow down. It seems not many people know how these roundabouts work😂
You don’t know that I haven’t looked. I maintain speed appropriate for the roundabout. I am watching you very very closely because I don’t trust you. But I’m not going to stop as it isn’t a stop. If everyone would maintain speed, keep moving, and actually merge, roundabouts wouldn’t have any problems. Every time I leave home I have to use at least one roundabout, and have done so for 20 years. The problem is that there are too few roundabouts so everyone can be proficient.
@NancyD2 If you think I'm being rude. I'm not trying to be rude every time I leave the house. I have to go through 2 to 3 roundabouts. When I say close cause I mean, I'm already in the roundabout. Close to being done with my turn and cars just zoom on through nearly hitting me and they don't seem to be maintaining a safe speed they're going pretty fast.
Someone did that I was almost done with my turn. They zoomed on through. Looked like they were going around 55 way over the speed limit. I'm nearly hit them. I slammed on my brakes, resulting in someone nearly reared me. This could have caused a 3 car collision.
And also you are supposed to slow down even stop if cars seem to be coming straight for you you have to wait ad see what they are going to do so you don't hit them
@NancyD2 Also your very creepy with saying you're watching me very closely
You kinda sound like a stalker
Not trying to be rude just telling the truth
You don't even need to know how to use a roundabout, you just need to know how yield signs work...unfortunately, based on my experience, people don't lol
@CouchPotator Yeah, that's true and like you in my experience. Not many people don't know how to yield for oncoming traffic in the roundabout...lol
That's why I have had to many close calls with nearly getting hit
As many other preventable mistakes the first driver made, I do have to give him props for having the sat phone. That's pretty neat.
Alan going on that speed thinking he is invincible
Alan, you were driving WAY too fast. There's a reason why that sign said 25PMH and a sign that said slippery road.
Hey Alan, If you look at the temperature on the screen. Thats the Tesla telling you there is ice on the road.
This video was packed with WHAM BAAM great clips, thx!!⭐️⭐️
Ur almost at 1mil congrats man
Quorra good job for getting the license plate 💯💯💯
If I was Alan's insurance I would be denying his claim
What I love about this channel is that it shows how oblivious Tesla drivers are to their own mistakes. Alan blaming the crash on the Tesla not warning him and his tires is hilarious😂😂
'wild west' is accurate considering I know that onramp well, its a scary place.. I used to live in the area there.. I won't say exactly where it is cause it isn't listed in the video and such but I had many a near miss of super aggressive drivers at that spot
First clip: I don't think I'd ever use purely _summer_ tires if I lived in that area. I'd either have Michelin CrossClimate 2s, or some other all-season tires + a set of _winter_ tires.
That is the law in germany. You may imigrate, dont bring Alan, he will go to jail and insurance will not pay
@@marcbeebee6969honestly insurance shouldn't have paid them out for that driving. Or they're loaded and a Tesla is just a consumable
Context implies Alan probably lives somewhere near Los Angeles and he regularly travels up into the mountains to get to his cabin in Sequoia National Forest. So he’s not driving in winter conditions all the time.
I agree Climate Cross 2 tires could be a good choice during the winter, but summer performance tires should be fine during the summer.
All season tires is bullshit... get winter tires in the winter months FFS
#2 I can't say enough how happy this video made me. I live in Arizona and travel for work. Drivers tailgate ALL THE TIME. I hope that driver learned their lesson from tailgating. Most people don't understand why it's dangerous.
As someone from the area that round about in north canton is newer, clearly people still don’t understand how it works lol. My crv was rear ended in a different round about by someone who wasn’t paying attention…
That phrase, "...don't know how a round-about works" is annoying. There are red and white signs, flashing lights and the word YIELD painted on the ground, and a stop bar too. What more does it take for a licensed driver to know what to do?
Clearly the suv driver who break check the one driver is someone who shouldn’t be driving at all. We need better laws if you drive without insurance or like an idiot and think the road is yours then no driving for 3 years and if you break that promise then you are blacklisted from driving ever again. Also the first clips shows that Tesla needs to put in a voice for the computer to warn drivers about things and if they ignore then the car should slow down for them and not let the driver go faster until they are on better roads.
Fedex driverless delivery truck was a wrecking ball. Wow.
You see the brake lights turn on. Someone was definitely driving it
@@CLxJamesI saw that too. But then it occurred to me that the brake lights could also have been the result of brakes being applied by a collision mitigation braking system, if that truck was equipped with it. It looked new enough that it could very well have had it. It happened right when the truck went up the embankment, so the sensors might have seen the embankment as an object in front and applied the brakes.
@@BryceNewall You can see hands on the steering wheel briefly as well.
Alan was upset that his car didn't tell him it was f*cking freezing outside, but he's got a sat phone. That speaks volumes on Alan's intelligence level🙄 1:01
I stayed up till 12am for this, don't regret. good video :)
#14 Autopilot FexEx trucks would be an improvement over FedEx drivers
13:00 Not the first time that car is in an accident... look at the back of it! :D
I was thinking the same thing!
Awesome video keep keep up the good work job 😎
Aay, Shout out from Georgia! Congrats Paata!
Young people don't use common sense these days. This reminds me of that story of the guy who crashed his car into the woods because his GPS told him to make a right turn where there was no road.
The fella in the first clip surely was driving a wee bit too spirited for the conditions and given the remote location. Glas he's alright, that could easily have ended so much worse.
That FedEx truck video was in Oakley California
alan maybe try slowing down especially in freezing conditions i bet that would work better than all season tires
Bro my airpods die in the middle of the vid 11:22😂
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
So if your car doesn’t warn you that the conditions are slippery you’re going to drive like crazy? Lmao we are doomed
It's not about protecting Rims. It's about being a good driver. Good drivers don't curb wheels
Yes and no. Around here, the snow sometimes gets deep enough that we get to play the fun game, "Am I on the road?" It is pretty easy to scrape a curb you can't see!
@Salicat99 your snow anecdote is valid
You don’t need all season tires to notice the frost on those roads. Some people just lack common sense.
Alan was driving too fast for conditions.
7:20 it's the same here in Australia, you don't involve the police for a traffic accident unless someone is injured or you need traffic management etc.
Michael followed the hit and run driver, bravo 11:04
49 waiting rn
Alan.S problems of crashing is when you notice he speeds up while going down the Road and saying: " The Tesla didn't warn me about ice problems. " when he's speeding down a road. Or the fact that his breaks aren't working since they are covered in ice, And the other fact his driving is so bad that he crashes his car spending like 30k {my estimate} plus taxes or the fact he sucks at driving he needs to restart his drivers license and registration and his driving skills. { Wondered how I knew this? Because im a mechanic in canada and knows alot about of cars and doing my job for 20-30+ years. }
A mechanic that does not know how to spell "Brakes" after "20-30+ years"? 🤣
Question can you get steel wheels for a tesla.
I assume Model S Plaid comes with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. These max performance summer tires are only suitable for temperatures above 40°F. Switching to all seasons will help, but if you’re going to alternate between two sets of tires anyway, and you’ve got a cabin in the mountains, why not get a set of 3 Peaks/Snowflake rated tires?
Teslas get door dinged when you sneeze on them. That rivian door barely tapped it.
1:49 and get winter tyres
This episode was nuts! I LOVED IT!
*FEDEX MOTTO: Nothing will stop us from delivering your package, not even a crash from our driver who will keep driving to ensure your package arrives on time!*
Ello I am new in chat lol
These guys was online 10 mins or 11 mins rn
Alan's a fool was driving probably fast and you're on summer tires going up a mountain... that probably has snow on it. You don't need a machine to tell you about possible ice if you own a place or know of a place that can get cold with icy conditions he did that to himself honestly
number 3 is exactly why you DON'T leave gaps for vehicles.
I'm convinced any tesla owner watching Wham Baam simply manifest crashes just to be on this show
11:08 is technically the Mercury's fault because even though they tried to avoid the accident, they ended up causing one. In this case, it would have been better to just hit the Buick from a liability perspective.
It's the Buik's fault. They were the FIRST of the 4 involved drivers who broke the law. Even though they didn't hit anyone physically, their actions resulted in the collision. The insurance company of the Buik driver will be the one paying. There are many stories (some even on this and its sister channels) that describe exactly that.
@@GReapernot from an insurance point of view. If you cause a wreck, trying to avoid a wreck, you are now at fault for not having control of your vehicle.
Bro, if you need a rim case, you just need to drive better... i mean, more careful. It's really not hard not to curb your wheel
My wife works at the airport there in Seattle and I remember that mess. Yikes!
Jesus was with the plaid guy!! What a miracle he survived
never use a tesla in a place that you can freeze in less than a hour. petrol cars can idle with a few gallons for days with the heating on
Irrelevant if the crash is bad enough to damage the engine.
Even while upside down?
@@msmith3395 i dont think anyone would be staying in a upside down car
And a Tesla with 60% can idle for a day with the heaters on...so ?
That's one thing I dislike about Teslas is that they disable themselves in some accidents. Slide off the road or get rear ended and the car just goes dark, you don't even have heat as you wait.
This crash was different, but many times the car would still be fine to stay inside for heat, or limp to a safe spot (like getting out of the middle of the highway after a rear ender).
What an annoying song 😅
Truly the worst
I never want to make negative comments on someone ever in life but i live in California and have driven these roads by the kern river many times in my M3, I don't drive like Alan in the day time in the summer with summer tires. Alan must truly be the most clueless driver on this channel. Your car didn't warn you so that means it ok to drive like you have no sense. Please please anyone reading this, do NOT be like this man. He truly could have ended his life like the tragedy that happened prior to this. Love the channel, learn from Alan's reckless driving.
I have lot of dash cam footage from my tesla, dont mind to share as there a lot great videos for your content.
12:45 I call this scenario “near lane kind, far lane blind”.
The driver crossing both lanes is just crossing their fingers🤞🏼and hoping nothing will be there.
2:03) “all-season?” Nyet. Ice tires for ice. Especially at temperatures around freezing. That’s “ice” ❄️not ICE 🚖
Number 4 with the window. I bet he works a a near by window repair place.
Alan, only studded tires may have helped
The car rolls onto roof, before the car rights itself? Is self righting a new TESLA feature?
I'm having thoughts.... speaking of temperature, is it above freezing or below freezing? Above freezing means above 0'C?
It’s the ground temp that is important.
If you are going to drive out in the freezing countryside, it would be a good idea to install a real-time road surface temp meter, preferably with an audio output.
