I can thoroughly vouch that on fat tyres they may as well have 0wd in the snow and ice!

surely the video should be titled "best overtake in human history"?!

Agri-yob!

Going by his manoeuvring around the car at the end of the video, the driver is perhaps a live and don't learn sort of fellow...

My AWD is pretty much the same, plenty of traction but no grip.

Although practically bald tyres don't help.

Mate, come and drive my car in the snow and you'll see.

Its easy, press the accelerator and it goes forward. Press the brake and/or steer and you're in 50/50 land. Makes it entertaining 🙂

Near bald Pirelli's aren't helping though.

High likelihood of set up. How likely is it that someone just happened to be filming when that occurred.

Wants jailing if that was deliberate irrespective of how good the car control was.

Very common in some other countries where there's a lot of drunk nutters driving around

Given the level of insurance fraud etc. and difficulty proving liability I can only see it becoming more common here too, probably tied to a significant discount in insurance premiums - probably even better than the much vaunted black boxes.

High level of use of in car vid in Russia due to insurance scams etc.

"Despite their growing cult status on YouTube and other video websites, dashboard cameras have a serious purpose, installed by Russian drivers in increasing numbers to fight the growing industry of insurance fraud."
