I like big cars and I cannot drive

Four wheel drive does not mean immune on ice.

my gods and it wasn't even that steep...I wonder if they went into neutral at all?

Interestingly, some ordinary cars seemed able to retain control.

When the red sedan was there I said "Get out of the way!!" They backed up and missed a collision. Must've heard me

Well..at least the drivers in that pile up can't really be angry at the ones that came later. I mean..they all slid .. so how can they be angry at the ones who slid after?

Edit : By the way..."You other brothers can't deny.." ( That song is yet another 'guilty pleasure'..)

It's not a place where there is a lot of snow fall. Trouble is even in places where people do get a lot of snow, they still forget how to drive in it. 4WD can't save you, it can HELP you. I have a Jeep, before I was allowed to drive it my Dad gave me a nice long lesson on how to handle 4WD and I learned early on how to drive in the snow and ice. I was the only one to ace my driving test that was nearly canceled due to bad weather.
Of course this was my 2nd test the first one I failed because even though once again I did awesome on the road test in icky weather, I wasn't perfectly straight in the parking spot I backed in to. Really the guy said I did a great job on the road test when dealing with ice and snow, then he made me cry and told me I need to retake the test and I'd be lucky if I passed because I couldn't park straight. Priorities...he doesn't have the right ones and he is the one handing out the licensees.
