Why wouldn't you film in any bad weather conditions? If anything you could use the footage for an insurance claim or possibly help someone out if there is some foul play. In this case he caught some great maneuvering on film for our viewing pleasure

God damn! Everyone in the instance was driving waaayyy too fast for the visibility. Your lucky you got over and there wasn't someone there.

That semi had to have mowed some cars through, he was moving still when he came past you.

Crazy footage, again glad your ok!

Talk about what a close close call. Glad your safe brO. Yeah some (a lot) of people just get scared and freeze up and don't know what to do.

i feel sorry for you but at the same time this totally could have been avoided. 1. passing cars in a snow storm is a bad idea. 2. was there a need to be going that fast? no. im glad your ok but in all honesty you got what you deserved.

there is a left lane for slow moving cars. you might want to stay in it next time. a few extra minutes is worth more then your life or someone else's.

Possibly died? Not likely.. Even if you got hit by the semi. Nice driving none the less. Most other people would have panicked and froze up. Good thing you reacted instead and got out there safely with minor damages.

Agreed and I was thinking the same thing. Shouldn't have been going that fast in those conditions. Especially if your visibility was that bad. I'd also hope the OP'er didn't have summer tires and driving in those conditions.
