and it all comes down to what the video said, untrained drivers and their overconfidence in 4wd.

that, and improperly prepared cars (ie. tires, etc)

You put it a lot nicer than I would have.. But you are right. And even around here where snow is common, compacted snow even more common it takes people a while to "get used" to winter driving conditions again. Just because its a 4x4 doesn't mean its safe on the ice.

Before passing judgement, know that this footage is from a single hour of traffic in a long Russian tunnel, that passes under a river, and that it's winter, and that sometimes a little water leaks onto the roadway and, when it gets to be -40 or -40°, it freezes

You have to love black ice.. you can hardly see it and it causes more roll overs and crashes than any other ice that I have seen. Most people just roll along thinking there is nothing wrong until they hit a patch of this stuff and then start spinning out of control.

The best thing you can do is remove your foot from the accelerator and DON'T touch the break pad at all. And trust me ABS breaks don't help, in fact I think they are worse in these situations quite honestly.

Yep!! It kills me how ppl will slam on there brakes all your gonna do is slide and loose control of the car...then on top of that they will not only hit the breaks but turn the wheel the opposite way of the way they are sliding causing themselves to slide even more!!
