Re: What a prat
That could have gone better in a lot of ways,
there wasn't really much prospect at that angle (might have done better from the front)

Re: What a prat
New Yorkers have been bitching over snow clearence with residential streets (un-plowed) and so not only can they not get their cars out, the bins were'nt being emptied either.
it was nearly a week before the minor residential streets were cleared, obviously from the perspective from which it was filmed, we can't properly see the camber of road but all the same either a nudge from the front
or get that van out of range might have been preferable to just slipping sideways.
Take a look at this (worth it for the bus alone)

Yes Danny,
I appreciate what you say. I have spent many 12/14 hour shifts clearing snow over the years on wheeled snd track machines. Tyres or tracks can be a problem on ice but I think the "apliance of a little science" would have helped in this case.
Put the brain in gear before the machine!!

Re: What a prat
When i was on Recovery we used the winches - Then you can angle the pull and see whats happening at the same time. No matter what the weather we were expected to get there - recover it and return which we did - Funny no one thought we might get stuck just like they had
Putting a chain on at that angle and driving off is asking for trouble - unless i'm turning (or turned) into a grumpy old man

Re: What a prat
Australia has a nuke?
I know they lost the ashes but the Nuclear option seems a bit harsh

Re: What a prat
Great find Steve 
What got me was the total disregard the driver had about bashing into that parked car 
me thinks he did not want to be snow clearing in the first place
