@@GlobalTossPot If you live in an area where it snows a lot, you will 100% encounter this situation at least once every winter. If you don’t know how slick that spot is, you have no choice but to lock and slide out… because the other option is slowly sliding straight out into oncoming traffic. Locking up is fine if the situation calls for it and you don’t do it at too high of a speed.
These kinds of videos are my favorite thing about winter. I could watch this all day. I used to love sitting at the bottom of the big icy hill in my neighborhood back in Maryland and watch people try to make it up. I don't get to see it in person anymore after moving to the desert.
Thank you everyone for your continued viewership! Here is a response to some of the questions you've asked in the comments: 1.) Don't these vehicles have ABS? Why are vehicles with ABS (antilock brakes) still locking and sliding their wheels? Most, if not all, of the vehicles in this video have ABS. Safety features like ABS and ESC still need *some* meaningful friction between the tires and the road surface to be effective. On icy roads, there is often not enough friction available for these features to do their jobs well. It is common for all 4 wheels to lock under moderate braking in these conditions, and this causes the car's ABS computer to "think" that the car is stopped - it has no other way of detecting that the car is still in motion. This is why slowing down during these conditions is so important - even slow speeds can be too fast for your vehicle's safety systems to help you maintain control when the roads are this bad. 2.) Why don't I do something to warn drivers? As always, this is really a perplexing accusation. I'm assuming those that ask this don't have any experience with winter storms and think that this is the only icy spot for miles around? During winter storms such as this one, roads are icy across *entire states*. You can read news reports of how bad this storm was for Columbus and how the road crews were having trouble keeping things plowed and treated. You can clearly see in the video that roads were snow-covered *everywhere*. There were thousands of icy spots like this all over the metro area: at nearly every intersection, highway offramp, and countless spots on the main roads and interstates. The authorities were well aware, and the crews were out doing what they could. As I do with all winter storms I cover, I just picked one spot to set up and film where I could safely park with a good view and be close to my car (it was in the single digits with winds gusting in the 20mph range -in other words, brutal!). Those of you asking that question of me, if the above wasn't enough of an answer for you, I want you to find a police officer, firefighter, EMT or anyone who works highway incidents during winter storms. Please ask them what they think of your idea of civilians standing on the side of icy highways and ramps waving down drivers, putting up signs and/or to trying to spread salt or sand. They will give you the "are you insane?" look and tell you about how their big vehicles with bright flashing lights are hit all the time in these conditions. I have actually tried warning drivers on several occasions in the past (you can even see one example during the January 24, 2014 Texas freezing rain icy bridge event, that video is on this channel) and the only way people paid any attention to me was if I *stood directly in front of them on the road*. Police told me to never do that again. Just last year near where I live, a driver trying to warn vehicles of an icy bridge in Collinsville, Illinois was killed by another out-of-control car. If you are one of these who expect me to do this civilian roadside warning and you *do* get winter storms where you live, then please tell me why you don't do this yourself? Surely if you feel this should be done, you're out during every storm with a pickup truck full of salt, a trailer with handmade wooden signs and tools to drive the posts into the ground. Finally, I'm the owner and author of the most comprehensive winter driving safety site on the internet at icyroadsafety.com. That is my best effort to help educate and warn the driving public about icy roads with everything I've learned in 19 years of covering this hazard. Anyone who reads my site and takes its information to heart and into practice should never find themselves in the situations you see in my videos. You can help me in that goal by sharing the link. It is a non-profit effort, and you'll help drivers avoid icy road accidents by directing them to the site. That's a much more effective prevention method than you or I putting our lives on the line standing along icy roads in futile attempts to warn drivers as civilians. If you still disagree, please send me suggestions from any professionals you talk to on how a civilian can warn drivers during winter storms. I'm open to hearing and implementing anything that is safe, reasonable and effective. I may even do a video on this subject in the future - if you are in one of the fields mentioned (police, firefighter, EMT) I'd love to talk with you about it. Thanks again to all for watching and subscribing! Your support and viewership are the main reasons I am able to continue this whole operation.
The drivers and computers handed the ice quite well. Ohio weather is so unpredictable. This was probably during the several days that the temps were at -3 degrees and here a week later it was 67 degrees. I saw a white mustang convertible with the top today Jan. the 2nd. Everyone says if you don't like our weather just wait a few days. Thanks for withstanding the cold to video this for us.
Literally they were all lucky they were going slow. Rule number one is to never lock up your wheels on ice I can count on one hand the amount of people who were pumping their breaks keeping that traction
@@Ctb1998 It should not be necessary to pump the brakes. Every vehicle in the video bar the 5 ton and up trucks is equipped with ABS. These people need winter tires and some common sense. I have driven in those conditions many times. If you notice, there is a rougher area to the left and right of the main traffic lanes. Get two wheels into that and you gain some grip. None of my cars have had ABS, and I have never had an issue.
@@Ctb1998 they were lucky they were driving slow? They were lucky that they drove slow because they know not to drive fast? They were lucky they did what they wanted to do? I'll bet you're lucky every morning when you successfully tie your shoes.
@@michaeltutty1540 Except it is. ABS isn't effective on snow or ice. Ask anyone who's ever driven in it. Or, look at the video evidence presented here. When all four wheels are locked the ABS is happy because it only notices DIFFERENCES in wheel speeds. Of course you've never had a problem, you've never had a car with that system fitted!
I'm guessing all these vehicles have ABS, but it's interesting that the blue pickup seems to be pumping their brakes yet had the shortest stopping distance of all the vehicles.
Modern Abs systems still have issues with having little or no traction to work with. Doesn't help that some drivers are awfully lead-footed with the brake pedal.
Watching cars slide on icy hill roads is a great winter pastime! It is necessary to sprinkle sand on the road. Salt makes the underside of your car rust.
Sand gets blown off just like snow.Salt doesn't work below 20 fahrenheit.This is all caused by self absorbed idiots who only care about themselves.....Punish fools or expect more.The End
The concept you should be talking about is tapping brakes. Stopping has nothing to do with this situation. Understanding how to control cars in icy conditions is the concept. Stir opposite of slide and tap brakes. So sad that I knew this as a 16 year old and everyone driving for 20+ years doesn't.
This is OHIO. So that's a resounding oh my, NO. I am not joking. Most of the year's weekdays I ride my bike around Columbus and have been hit multiple times before by drivers who don't stop at the stop sign. Every day I bike I'm at least almost hit. Hardly anyone here stops or slows down before the sign. I've even had one guy yell at me for crossing the street when he didnt stop at the sign. It's so maddening.
Never apply your brakes when you slide on ice. Pump them, even if you have antilock brakes. I know it sounds counterintuitive but I drive all over Michigan and Canada in the winter. The instant you slam on the brakes, your car turns into a giant sled. You want your wheels rolling so you can avoid a collision, or sliding off the road.
That Red Highlander at 3:18 actually did it perfectly! When you’re skidding on ice, the last thing you went to do is slam the brakes if you need to avoid something in front of you. Notice how he was able to go left around the car in front? That’s because he took his foot off the brake right before it! Instinctually our reaction to this would be to hit the brakes but really you should take your foot off the brake for a second to turn.
Gracias por subir ese material, vi los tres videos, muy interesantes e instructivos, para todos en general y en especial para los que conducimos camiones, thanks so much.
The reason the abs wasn’t functioning on most of these vehicles is abs relies on wheel speed differential to operate. If the operator punched the brake pedal on a sheet of ice and all 4 wheels locked up completely, the vehicles abs control module assumed the vehicle was at a complete stop
Also the slow starting speed, having all four wheels going from 4mph to 0 in an instant is a realistic scenario as opposed to them going from 40mph to 0, in which the abs would know that is impossible and intervene.
This scares me because 8 years ago we had a snow storm in Indiana and some fool as I was stopped plowed into the back of me my car so hard it flipped over I was in the hospital for a week so please be careful everyone Drive safely if you have to drive it’s not worth it
We just never gets tired of watching cars with summer tires on (quite normal) winter roads, do we? If these cars had real dedicated winter tires (the "nordic" type), there would not be so many of these videos. Yes I have tried to drive on winter roads with summer tires, just to test it. Yes it looked like this video. These days I drive on winter roads like in this video (snow and ice). No its nothing like in this video. Its not a big problem really. It's all about the tires.
I love driving in the ice and sliding everywhere. So fun and honestly not a challenge for me, never have gotten stuck or hit anyone. The right vehicle and tires helps a ton though.
Not bad actually. I expected worse. I was out driving that day for 7 hours. Got some POV footage of sliding and counter-steering for educational purposes. It was fun, not gonna lie. I can't wait to drive out in these conditions. Stay safe out there!
Not if you have abs - you should put your foot down and let the system work. I don't know about you but I'm not as good as compensating for locked and sliding tires as the computer designed for doing so is
This is a great lesson for anyone in pumping the brakes. Notice how none of these cars experienced enough friction fighting back to trigger the abs. You can see on every car once they released the brake they were able to straighten out by letting the wheels roll and naturally straightening themselves. Once your tires lock up, in any situation, brakes become useless in slowing down momentum
Used to live there. Columbus area was like a southern metro area. No clue on how to clear and maintain roads in winter conditions. Everyone went nuts even at half inch of snow, let alone ice.
So long as the driver does not pump the brakes on *partially icy roads, the ABS will aid the driver in both stopping and steering the vehicle. The driver only needs to keep the brake pedal depressed. If the entire road is coated in ice* the ABS won't engage and will behave as though the vehicle is already stopped.
@@driveman6490 just tried it on my icy country road. Antilock pumped the braked every time I slammed the brakes. We are having an epic meltdown of snow pack after the crazy cold. Slicker than snot. 2002 rav4.
Once all four tires (or a pair in a split system) firmly lock up, the wheel sensors will indicate that the vehicle has stopped. There's no way for the ABS computer to reference any speed.
People commenting seem to think ABS should prevent this (!), so let me explain... ABS attempts to stop skidding by sensing DIFFERENCES in wheel speeds. If all 4 wheels are locked, there is no difference between them; ABS has done its job. For braking or steering to occur at this point, the wheels must first be allowed to rotate. You must release the brakes and re-apply them.
This city probably dont have enough budget for winter road conditions, in my city(edmonton,alberta). The city makes sure to sand and plow the roads in winter
Put it in neutral as you slow down and if you can make it throw it back in drive and let it move for you. I got a 2001 Prius and never got stuck when we get out snow like once a year for a few days
Weird. All those vehicles with four or all wheel drive had trouble stopping. Hopefully those owners will see this video before the next time they decide to drive faster than everyone else.
As a owner of a Camaro in Ohio this is a normal Tuesday😂your so used to it that when it happens you say weeeee and then proceed to drift around a corner hoping you don’t brake your car.
On a boring snowy icy day this would be a good thing to do is park somewhere and film people driving too fast. These videos will make good instructional videos to teach drivers to slow down to about 5 mph under these conditions.
I’ve done a lot of snow driving and, not all snow/ ice is the same. If your on a downhill road and the ice is just right 90% of people won’t stop from sliding.
I'm actually really impressed by how almost everyone handled this.
@Hoosier Daddy What kind of tires do people in this area prefer? All season tires?
Im not every one of them insta locked they’re brakes that’s how you slide
@@kndli67 exactly… most of these people just slammed on the brakes which is not what you want to do

The best way to stop in this situation is frequently pressing and releasing the brake pedals. It works better than sliding
That does not work with antilock brakes, constant brake pressure

Can we blame the city officials for knowing this was going to happen and not preparing the roads. What a shame.
At 6 below with thirty mile per hour winds..not much works
If your wheels lock up, you'll feel it.
Locked-up tires just slide. Better to let off the brakes just enough to have the tires rolling a bit.
How are these newer vehicle locking the wheels? Where's the abs lol
Are these people already use winter tires or they still betting on all season tires ?
When coming down an icy ramp, put two tires in the snow to get a grip and don't slam your brakes. This has saved be quite a few times
I had to wait to watch all the way till the end to finally see a Subaru, and it was leading the way for that salt truck, lol.

Do they not get idea of slowing down when slippery? Shows so many going way faster than should be,considering road conditions.
Thanks for not playing stupid music in the background like they do in some other videos of this type!
Aren't modern vehicles supposed to have ABS? I guess we now know how well that works on most of them.
Your tires have to have traction for ABS to work
Why nobody there uses winter or m+s tires? Is studed tires allowed? It is really normal road condition where i live.
0:41 was smooth with it ngl
What happened to ABS??? Wow
This happened to me a mere second before i call out and try to be safe getting home

This city probably dont have enough budget for winter road conditions, in my city(edmonton,alberta). The city makes sure to sand and plow the roads in winter
in my state nj. when there is snow or ice. the city start salting and liquid salt 3 hours before snow starts. so there is never a iced roads
I live a half an hour east of there and this was 9 days ago and today its 60 degrees.
Put it in neutral as you slow down and if you can make it throw it back in drive and let it move for you. I got a 2001 Prius and never got stuck when we get out snow like once a year for a few days
Why abs doesn’t unlock the wheels ?
Why does it look like no one has ABS brakes is this just a Canadien thing?

I wonder if driving on the grass would have actually been better in this situation
Weird. All those vehicles with four or all wheel drive had trouble stopping.
Hopefully those owners will see this video before the next time they decide to drive faster than everyone else.
Trying pumping the break's or learn about ABS.
those Oldsmobile Auroras still look good!
Glad I got my all season tires last year.
What’s winter tire?
Proof that 4x4, AWD, and 2x2 perform the same on ice.
I don't think it was so much the icy roads as it was the roaring wind that was a contributing factor
The ups one was my favorite. Caring for my package.
Why are they on the road?
As a owner of a Camaro in Ohio this is a normal Tuesday😂your so used to it that when it happens you say weeeee and then proceed to drift around a corner hoping you don’t brake your car.
They are auditioning for the next fast and furious movie drift scenes. 🤣🤣🤣
On a boring snowy icy day this would be a good thing to do is park somewhere and film people driving too fast. These videos will make good instructional videos to teach drivers to slow down to about 5 mph under these conditions.
Does anyone know what the first white car is?
Oldsmobile aurora
I’ve done a lot of snow driving and, not all snow/ ice is the same. If your on a downhill road and the ice is just right 90% of people won’t stop from sliding.
