Overall, much of what's shown on that video could have been avoided by just slowing down. In poor weather, you just plan on a longer drive.

This.

I remember poking along at a safe and slow speed along one of the long interstate bridges. The doofus behind me in his 4WD SUV decided he did not need to go that slow and pulled into the lane that was covered in more snow. He hit a large hunk of ice that likely fell off of a simi. It spun him around and he drove right into the concrete wall. and ended up facing backward with the front end mangled and the side of his Suburban beat up as a bonus. He was getting out to survey the damage as I drove past pointing and laughing.
