Fun Times: How 'Yoopers' Turn Left on a Frozen Road

|

Those of us who live in the so-called snow-belt regions, where roads often resemble ice-skating rinks during the winter months, have become accustomed to mishaps – so much so, that some people venture out with a camera in hand and just wait for something to happen.

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan, whose residents are frequently referred to Yoopers, which is derived from "U.P.-ers", is one of those regions where winters tend to be long, cold, and snowy – not the best combo for driving around anything on wheels.

A YouTube user nicknamed 'Phersick', captured one of the first mishaps of the snowy season when the driver of an old Ford Taurus Wagon lost control on a steep road but somehow managed to make the turn without any damages or injuries.

See how it worked out in the video after the jump.

But Seattle is hilly an it hardly ever snows or freezes. And one driver has problems.
