The last video is funny. The others are crap.

There is something I never understood--why, when people post photos or
videos of vehicles, they always edit out the license plates?

Looks like part of a TV commercial to me.

Aw, c'mon! You don't think a bunch of teenaged punks driving too fast
and rolling their SUV is funny?

Yes I forgot about that, very good.

I'd have to say that the best part is where the DOT truck is directing
vehicle's to its right (toward the ice patch).

It's the overall complete lack of attention to the task of driving that
makes the video what it is.... The funniest though has to be the BMW
driver that ripped open his 1/4 panel on the bumper of the DOT truck. I
always wondered how some of the odd body damage I've seen on cars happens.

Yup, have to agree. Don't these idiots realize that it's better to ease
off the brakes and steer *around* the object in front of them rather
than slide *into* it sideways...

Anyway, here's a clip of how to drive in the snow by a professional (ie.
me :-)).

I wish the roads around here were that empty. 2-4" tonight and I am just
staying home because of the idiots that will be out and about. If the
roads were empty I'd have no problem. I just don't feel like having some
one plow into my car.

You did quite a bit of editing in that - how many collisions with
invisible semis did you edit out? :)

LOL. Didn't hit any invisible semis, lloyd loungers, or anything else
that I know of. The only thing that came close was before I was out with
the camcorder and some idiot dropped what looked like a bed in the right
lane of the freeway (I was in the left lane so I avoided much of the
mess). The reason it's edited so much is because of the 100 MB limit on
youtube. From the beginning that clip was ~350 MB so a lot had to be
cut. Anyway, that clip should show that RWD cars are perfectly safe to
drive in the winter, and they're more fun too. Likewise, driving 90 mph,
even on snow, won't kill you. :-)

Next time, try Google Video. If they have a limit at all, it's well
above 100MB (I certainly haven't hit it yet).
