How to not be ready for snow

I saw this browsing the youtube the other day. Yes they are clearly aware they are on summer tires. The comments explain what was happening.

Perhaps one of the MOST inept drivers I have ever seen! This guy gives Jersey drivers a really bad name.

PATHETIC!

That was painful to watch. One of the reasons I have the x. Also those tints attract the attention of the nj state police lol.

Agree...y didn't they just shovel?

I mean, I keep summer tires on my G all year around. they actually work pretty good, but if there's even a hint of snow forecast I take the SUV to work.

Seems like the people in that video were just dumb for not clearing the driveway first.

The idiot with the camera should of helped instead of standing by and recording.

This video demonstrates a good way to cook your trans fluid (or burn up the clutch).

^ +1. that's what i was thinking too. what complete morons. 1 guy pushing would have given the driver all the extra momentum he needed to get up that slight grade. but then again, i bet the camera guy was wearing flip-flops so he would have slipped and KO'd himself. maybe there is a follow-up video!

The best ending to this video would have been the car catching traction and launching into the back of the EX35.

I would had just parked the car about half way up the drive way which is where the drive got most of the time. People are such idiots.
