That’s some fancy fucking driving! That person deserves a raise.
It really wasn’t. He went sideways because he was hitting his brakes after it started to go sideways.
Should he have just coasted all the way down the hill? How fast would he be going by then? He seemed to do a pretty good job of braking as much as possible while still being able to steer enough.
Him going sideways meant his braking wasn’t working. If there’s slipping you want to let off the brake and down shift (you can do this in automatics) to the lowest gear that doesn’t make you slip. Staying straight to where your wheels aren’t slipping is a priority over braking or getting slower. The only way of slowing is to have traction, and you don’t want it while sideways.
I would have tried keeping straight and then veered over into the dry lane and started slowing down.
How many Class A busses have you piloted down an icy hill? It looks like solid driving to me!
Passenger busses? None. 52,000 pound fire engines? Many.
Do you have the guy in back steering the rear wheels? That style of truck used to be commonplace when I was a kid, but I haven’t seen one in a long time.
They’re called tillers. The steering radius advancements and ladder construction allowed for shorter trucks that could turn tight enough to stop needing tillers in most areas. They’re still in a lot of narrow and tight big cities like Kansas city, MO. The city I work at is also actually planning on getting one in about 5 more years, so they are still in demand. It’s just that they aren’t needed a lot of times, now.
Neat! Thanks for the information. I vote that you volunteer to be the tiller when you guys get one. That seems like an exciting job.
Oh, I’ll absolutely be giving that a shot. Seems like a blast.
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.
Dmv driving tests said it’s best to not break and better to drive slowly to redirect.
Any idea where this is?
Republic of Sakha, in far east Russia.

Then everything goes to hell because dude in front of them was driving too slow.
How many points was that?
According to Tony Hawk Pro Skater:
- [360 Fastplant(250 x 2) + Hardflip(300) = 800] Crooked Grind(150+25) *multiplier 3* *sum 800*
You and I went very different ways with this.
I thought they were referring to a three point turn and asking how many points were involved in this turn.
Probably … Probably you were closer to the original intent of the comment.
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.
