This is what happens in the UK if we get a bit of frost
If these were American cops they would probably pretend that they knew exactly what they were doing and trying to remain authorative in such a ridiculous situation... At least these people can laugh at it all.
Where's your big-ass tank volvo now huh!?
Bad idea to go offroad into a patch of snow without chains on.
The police there look chill as fuck.

[QUOTE=tittles650;34165667]dude our vehicles can handle anything[/QUOTE] Except snow and other slippery surfaces, since they're only rear wheel driven. I guess the issue in this video is that they're (still?) using all-year tyres, since the tyres are mounted on alloys. [T]http://filesmelt.com/dl/all-year_swedes.png[/T] Looks like all-years, since they don't have a "aggressive" winter/snow tyre thread pattern. Or my fuckexpensive Michelin Winter tyres just have a bitchin' thread pattern compared to those they use.
[QUOTE=Smoot;34163069]The police there look chill as fuck.[/QUOTE] That is because they are usually really nice Also, did you know that some people whine over the clothes/gear (gasmasks in all vehicles and semi auto 5.56 carbines in some) and think it makes the Swedish police look "paramilitary"? pfft :v:

You're just as ignorant as the cops/people that give law enforcement a bad name. I've seen police cruisers get stuck before, guess what a good Samaritan pulled over and asked the officer he if wanted to get towed out. The cop said sure and thanked the guy for being nice. That attitude spread fairly quickly and fellow police officers brought out their own 4x4 trucks and they even got the armored APC that swat uses and towed people out of ditches all day for free and did so till the roads got paved. That was just in my area but just saying.
