How Not to Pull a Car Out of a Ditch

There are all kinds of 'How to" videos on the internet. You can learn about any subject that interest you and, for the most part, these videos can save you a lot of time and money. Some are extremely helpful when there's a job to tackle and you just want a little nudge in the right direction, but this video does not fall into that category.

As you will see when you watch the video, while it's helpful to have a tractor around when you've just skidded off the road on a snowy night, it may not mean that your troubles are over. That great sense of relief when, at long last, a tow truck; or in this case a tractor shows up on the scene. You're rescued and in a few short minutes you'll be back on your way back home to a nice warm fire and a drink.

Well, I'm pretty sure that the driver of this car was thinking just that when the tractor showed up on the scene of the accident. In this particular case, the relief was pretty short lived. As you will see, the driver would have been much better off without all the help. in fact, in this case, the help just made things worse.
