How I almost crashed my Volvo V50 T5

Winter memories, cruising in V50 T5 AWD with shitty tires...

[@alexthelion1342]

Going way to fast for an iced out road. All of that compacted snow is wet and hard, no traction.

[@kevinisawake]

OVER-CONFIDENCE.

[@rdrgtreer]

That is a very picturesque village!

[@laszlovona]

No offense bro, The scene when you trying to get together the Volvo, and the 40bhp, rear engine, RWD Skoda 120 (basically an anti car) is crusing uphill effortlessly killed me :D:D.. This scene was directed by life :))

Reminds me of my Army tours in Germany

[@Lukkmaestro]

3:30 accually not bad countersteering just reckless overall driving, how would you stop the car if something or someone blocked the road?

[@Maleekus]

5:00 he's not waving, he's telling you to slow tf down

[@01Jelen10]

Who told you that? You are just assuming some bs made up by your head.

[@petrpernikovec6601]

@@01Jelen10 if the driver in different way, saw police, he do that gesture like the road worker. In general that means black ice, police, flood or any other danger.

V50 awd is 60 front and 40 rear right? Backend comes out nice under throttle!

[@galicjusz8188]

uhh, isnt it more like fwd but sometimes it sends up to 50% to the rear? its the haldex system, not a regular awd

[@splrumcajs]

Nechápu jak jsi to mohl jet se zaplým ESP či jiným systémem. Vždyť se s tím nedá jet :D nesnáším jak mě to tahá za koule při sebemenším smyku. Vždy když vyjíždím na sněhu, tak vypínám.

[@empetor492]

pekne :D, trz jazdis/te omnoho lepsie s rezou na tych okruhoch :D

[@kylemontano228]

I live in California so my S40 doesn’t have to worry about the snow!

[@MrPossumies]

Do you have all season or winter tires?

[@WeAreCarFans]

They are winter Michelin Alpin A4 - but pretty worn, around 4mm... With new tires it's tank in terms of traction in snow...

[@daviddeleon8681]

Great Video Bro! Your V50 T5 has a manual or an automatic transmission?

[@miloslavholy5168]

Unfortunately automatic geartronic 5sp. Wish it was manual, using manual mode though...

[@missarplayz8852]

David De leon manual

[@nicksimpson23]

It's an auto, you can see the indicator on the instrument cluster that says "D"

[@braatensafe]

You can't be doing that with TRACS and ESP on, it will just mess it up for you, anyways fun driving ;)

[@VorteXxThePro]

You need esc on snow for awd if not you will loose all grip and just fling out in a corner, trust me thats what i did with my v50, thankfully nobody got hurt,and the car was fine

[@BarbecuedPossum]

not if you can drive

[@Alex-ch2ud]

⁠@@VorteXxTheProYou don’t need esc if you know how to modulate the gas pedal and counter steer…

Bože to je krása.... kéž by napadlo :)

[@krzysztofpokuc6474]

Was there DSTC ON? I see no blinking mark?

[@Acson92]

DSTC is off

[@BarbecuedPossum]

No... Traction control was off stability was still on.

[@BarbecuedPossum]

You can even here the esp working to bring it in line when he puts in opposite lock

[@aminken2486]

DSTC = Dynamic Stability Traction Control, and if you turn Off that during winter, just go in 60mph straight into a tree please. Idiotic to drive a REALLY Nice car like That.

[@BarbecuedPossum]

DJ Mink You're a fucking mug. Yes he drove a bit crazy but to say he should kill himself for turning off an electronic assist and seeing how his car reacts when it's the safest time to do so (lowest speeds, car doesn't snap oversteer etc etc) Only thing was he was doing it in places where he didn't have that long visibility, so should make sure its well clear first

[@BernonCars]

You were driving wayyy too fast for that bud

[@serkangul7083]

My v50 2.4 has a rearview mirror

[@Robert-ky5ks]

you paid extra for that :D ! joke

[@Vladesculos]

Dunno why everyone here says he's driving too fast .. Maybe not everyone has driven on snow.

[@nerd_in_norway]

I've lived 45 years in Norway and know plenty about driving in rugged winter terrain, and the driving in this video is dangerous af through populated areas. Are you Russian or something, because we have all seen how they "drive"... XD

[@Vladesculos]

@@nerd_in_norway hi, no i’m not Russian but i too have driven in snow quite a lot (not the clip with the Trabi on snow from my page haha that’s a looong time ago). I’m just saying he doesn’t seem to go any faster than other traffic when passing nor does he pull the handbrake thru small streets with cars parked left and right. Seen other dangerous driving clips, but I personally do not think this is one. Thanks

[@simonschlachtmann6806]

ISN'T IT OBVIOUS? HE'S DRIVING LIKE THIS ON PURPOSE

[@nerd_in_norway]

Even worse. It's a miracle he didn't get someone killed.

On passenger seat. I took it off for better visibility.

I almost died because of this boring movie

[@piotrs691]

You need to practice a lot. I have the exact same car and it can be very intuitive and easy to behave in this condition. Don’t get me wrong I don’t want to judge you or tell you something to make you upset. Just go to a extreme driving school and learn how to control a car in such condition. Now you are chaotic and aggressive in driving. Few hours on the track and you will smoothen up these moves. There is potential in you, just learn from a pro :) the t5 awd is a great car for handling :)

[@nerd_in_norway]

Yikes, that is WAY TOO aggressive driving. Especially the speed you passed that plow truck through a populated area, you would have zero chance to stop if a kid ran into the road behind the truck. Later there was even a sign warning of kids and people and you just raced on. Number one rule in driving: drive according to the conditions around you. Even if it was dry and summer this type of speeds through populated areas would be reckless and dangerous. But maybe they don't have road safety and traffic laws where you live? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@gavinvalentino6002]

In Norway, is there a constant threat of children running out across the road right behind a snowplow? Perhaps the children should be admonished, not the driver.

[@joy6086]

Sloppy driving!

The V50 are volvos budget cars and there is the answer.
