It was caused by the white stuff on the road and the conditions he was driving in but as above I think it might have been caused by the white stuff you put up your nose as nobody with any sense would come round that corner the way he did unless you are under the influence of something.
Lots of people drive on snow and ice like it is dry pavement. No drugs required. In fact those who take it slow and gentle are likely to get honked at.
A sign of the times. In normal conditions it seems like I get honked at if I'm not doing a wheelie when the light changes.
What does a man do in 1 second that a woman takes 5 seconds to do?
React to a green light.

Yeah that's a road with a layer of ice on it, with a layer of snow on it. Pretty common in the midwest, where they dump literal truckloads of sand and salt to combat it.
All seasons and slightly bald tires will act like that with the slightest bit of slippy stuff. In Colorado they wait 4 hours for the sun to get it for them, much less often do we have the super low temperatures and drizzle problem, but had to get snow tires after 25 years living in the Midwest because they refuse to plow or use salt/chemicals here.
Even four wheel drive won't save you on crazy thin layer of ice, have spun the Explorer completely 360 in 4x4 mode going about 20mph with a layer of ice so thin you can't even tell its there (usually caused by drizzle and very low temps), once you get it going it can be incredibly hard to get 3000+ pounds stopped on ice skates.
