Driving In The Snow

I was asked to show some footage of snow driving, trouble is i was just learning how to use the camera and i made the movie file too big. Here is one i took in BC just after Christmas when i was multidropping.

The story is ..............................

Got a message over the CB that there was a fender bender up ahead, a couple of SUV's had decided to swap a bit of paint.

Notice as i get clear of the accident the camera pans left, that was my drives spinning out and the cab slewed left. I was able to recover for 3 reasons, my cruise was off, my jake was off, my road speed was correct for the road conditions, and i didnt panic.

  2. That one was worse than i showed on the footage (purposely) there were people trapped in a car and some of the people there were helping them, covering them with blankets and tending to injuries. Obviously i didnt film that.

    I think there was a group of cars travelling together on a snowmobile trip as they would all pull over anyway.
