I still laugh about that, people got so upset about an impossible situation. LoL
Nobody thought about it long enough to figure out it is impossible for all the cars at a 4 way stop, to yield to the right...
That was a good thread, I couldn't believe how much road rage is in Calgary now, crazy! I guess there was 4-500,000 less people on basically the same roads when I moved away.

David Phillips, senior climatologist with Environment Canada, said Calgary hit -30C, which felt like -41C with the windchill.
“Alberta was colder than the North Pole,” said Phillips on Tuesday.
“We’re not seeing those temperatures in Russia, in Siberia.
“Alberta is definitely one of the coldest places on Earth today.”
Though Calgary’s temperature was well-below the average of 0C for this time of year, Phillips said Calgarians actually had it better than some Albertans Tuesday morning.
Ten sites around the province broke weather records for coldest Nov. 23 ever including Rocky Mountain House at -37.8, Banff at -35.6C, Coronation at -36.5, Drumheller at -34.7, Red Deer at -35.3 and Edmonton at -34.9C.

This time of year you give the right away to the car that is sliding through the intersection.
The Following User Says Thank You to JustAnotherGuy For This Useful Post:
Watch the first vehicle, not locked up = success. Locked up = failure.
It has more to do with the part of the road that driver was on, 2nd car locked was more sucessful (stopping in a shorter distance, although spinning) then the 3rd truck unlocked (drove through the intersection and almost couldn't stop before plowing into a building). Both didn't have much control in this situation. Threshold braking is the best way to avoid catastrophe. On this hill either method would be effective, or ineffective.
EDIT: Note the Subaru at 2:05, Not locked and out of control... In this situation, either locked or unlocked there is no control. It seems less so with more speed...

Are we watching the same video ? The 2nd car was completely out of control and did a 360...That's called luck, don't count on that LoL
Both trucks locked up and were also lucky, the first truck clearly sped up then the wheels locked, the car that got rear ended was stopped with flashers on... Sucks

That's what I've been saying, note the 1st vehicle
God damn car starter broke today, or at least I think it did. I don't really know anything about cars but this morning when I went outside to start my car it struggled to turnover than I heard a loud 'click' now the thing won't turn over at all. When I turn the key it just relays, anyone got any ideas?
I don't think so. When I turn the key all the dash-lights come on, and my radio fires up. Than again, like I said, I know nothing about cars so I'll give it a boost when I get home.
