Black patches of ice on the road are a driver’s worst enemy as there’s really nothing you can do once it creeps under your tires. Not even ABS or an advanced four-wheel drive system can save you, though; these features will indeed help you lessen the risks of getting into deeper trouble than what you are already in.

A Japanese driver of what looks like a Subaru WRX/STi was confronted with a situation like this right after coming out of a curve on a mountain road, and to make matters worse, a small truck had just crashed into the side rails and was blocking the road in front.

We’d say that the Subaru driver handled the situation calmly, steering his car out of harm’s way stopping right before a ditch on the side of the road. See how it happened in the video below.
