The most important thing to learn regarding winter driving is knowing when to stay home.
Exactly 😂
Weather man: blizzard coming
Me: staying in my cozy home
Exactly stay at home.
Unfortunately some of our jobs won't let us do that and if we do stay Hine we get penalized for it.
@@catharsismemory If you crash and burn on the way to work you still won't show up and your employer isn't going to reimburse you for your destroyed car and injuries. It is all about judgement.
Amen to that!
The sheer number of drivers locking their brakes up just astounds me, add to that the number of drivers going faster than the weather calls for... sliw down, drive responsibly, and stay off the brakes.
@@Looneybob1 couple of years ago we got a really bad storm and the highway had a few inches of really packed snow on it. I was doing like 60, safely I thought in the middle lane (3 lane Highway) then in the left lane and brand new white f350 came zooming by me. Not 100 feet ahead of me he lost control and was spinning down the highway hitting the guard rail over and over. Pieces of that brand new truck spread over hundreds of feet. I slowed down and moved over and watched it all unfold. Dude looked fine. Prob had some whiplash. That truck tho.
Ice radials make a difference.
took the words right out of my mouth...locking up your wheels is the worst thing you can do.
As someone from Michigan who drives daily in all seasons, it grinds my gears watching people lock up their brakes. You're only making matters worse, jesus.
Edit: it also amazes me seeing reckless drivers in the winter going way to fast. Just drive slower, it's not that hard
I think you need to spell it out to them in words of one syllable: YOU CAN'T STEER WITH YOUR WHEELS LOCKED.
Life long Michigander here. I feel ya and also when people forget how to drive in the snow the first snow of the year. It's like how do you forget?!? We go through it every year.
well you know now with abs brakes you have to keep your foot on the brake so that the abs has a chance to work, damned if you do, and damned if you don't
If you've got abs, and it works, yes you do lock the brakes......it's designed to pump the brakes for you.
once you lock your wheels you have zero control and the car will go whatever way the ice wants it to go when you lock your wheels
I love watching these videos. I learned to drive in upstate New York where snow was just a way of life. I'm not saying I am a perfect driver, in fact I had a snow accident. As long as the wheels turn, the car can turn - I learned that the hard way. Here is one rule for driving in snow that nobody should forget: "Respect the snow, because as soon as you don't, it will give you a dope slap you will never forget"
Dope slap! Great explanation!
A lot of these were probably people that had to go to work and expected to be there despite the weather. I've worked at places like this and sometimes they'd even ask people with trucks to go out an pick up other workers, which eventually was eventually deemed to be a bad idea because the company would be held liable if there was an accident.
@@Dradog I worked at a cafeteria many years ago. I called on an icy day to see if they were open. I asked them if they could send someone to pick me up. It wasn't far on a good day but on an icy day there were plenty of opportunities to slip and fall. I didn't have a car back then.
I spent two years in Germany and I learned quite quickly, NEVER lock up your brakes on snow and ice.
Once they lock up, you have lost all braking power.
If you’re gonna crash, you may as well be in control of WHERE you’re gonna crash. Locking your brakes removes all steering control.
Unless it’s in an empty parking lot for fun
@@theol80chefordodge71 Just watch out for light poles!
Fact! Shift to neutral to remove your driving force and regain traction, and STEER your way out of trouble.
I live in Ontario & it ceases to amaze me how every winter season, some people drive like it’s summer. Why is it so hard to drive according to the road conditions?
Thank you. Watching the rear tires, you can see the people have their feet PLANTED on the breaks. When they're supposed to PUMP the breaks, which would help. It's like few people ACTUALLY KNOW how to handle a car, or help steer it, even if it's in a slide. (Which IS possible, I've done it many times in snowy, icy weather)
London Ontario is full of terrible drivers.
Or..... is it REALLY nessecary - go´ing for milk!???
@@dede4004 Take a break from commenting and learn how to spell brakes.
"Drive like its summer"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i know
I live in northern Canada . Here's a pro tip . 1) let 1/2 the air out of your tires , you want a BIG foot-print . 2) when descending a grade have the car in NEUTRAL , you want even gentle braking . It is easier to hold a light brake pedal all the way down the hill . If the car is in gear , a slight touch of the brakes WILL lock up the undriven wheels , when the car begins to slide sideways at that end , you will apply the brake pedal more to try to stop but are now all locked up completely out of control . 3) All wheel drive may go better , but they do NOT stop any better . You must NOT over spin low pressure tires . If you're smart , go slow on purpose . If no speeding moron hits you , you will get there . In three million kms I only got stuck once , when the van I borrowed , beached me on it's running boards . The unprepared incomps in these vids , are hard to understand .
When you or your vehicle are unable to handle conditions, just stay home.
I agree!
Stay home next time
Words to live by...
Bosses be like, "Come in or you're fired."
Saiyan Gxd my response I don't wanna die or get injured and not be able to come on for the next 6-8 months
Many years ago I was driving truck down the 401 in Ontario and passed through an area that had just had a snow squall. Watched a car in front of me catch the snow along the left shoulder and go off into the centre median. He did a 360 and came back onto the road but now he was behind me. It was some very impressive driving.
jsp dude that same thing happened to me, I think i was around Oshawa area on 401
Thank you for noticing my driving skills. I still drive that same Geo Metro in the winter.
nice video, and a BIG TY for not ruining it with some stupid audio dub
@batch1638 okay just for you he'll put the Benny Hill tune under it next time
@@KoolKatInTown Benny Hill would be proper though
3:44 First proper use of a horn I've ever seen.
No anger, no road rage, just straight-up "LOOK OUT I'M OUTTA CONTROL AND COMING THROUGH!"
I noticed the lack of horns in the hill slide situations until the driver you are talking about did the right thing!
this should have more likes.
That actually happened to me once. I was approaching an intersection with a red light and I used my horn because I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to stop on the slippery street but I did.
I remember the pineapple trucks on West Maui. They had loud horns, and traveled on a narrow 2-lane road with lots of blind turns. They always gave a loud blast when approaching a blind turn. Was pretty common practice for all drivers to do this some places.
Wow...the speed and the tailgating is this type of weather is amazing..People are completely stupid
Heck, don't need this video for you to know that ;-)
And the locking of ones breaks, an keeping them like that.
@@danvetor1365 And driving against the skid direction instead of into it to regain control of the vehicle.
I didn’t realize so many people didn’t know how to drive in Snow.
Bad habits don't end in bad weather.
The majority of these accidents were caused by people locking up the brakes.
You can’t steer on dry roads if your wheels are locked.
Ice is no exception.
I put mine into low if I start sliding why I appreciate low gear shifts. I am a granny driver on snow/ice & I have awd 4wd & when you start sliding or wrecking i think reflex is push the brake!
@@martianmurray Most ABS systems do not actually prevent the wheel from locking, they just cycle on / off (lock / unlock) very rapidly. The brief time the tires are locked can be enough to cause a skid on ice, or some snow conditions.
Drivers need to let off the brake a bit to keep the tires rotating, so they can grip. That is counter-intuitive, and also assumes the driver has given themselves enough room to stop at less than 100% breaking force. Most do not.
@@kevj8628 Me, in South Florida, trying to memorize what to do when conditions on the road are icy. For whatever reason.
@@kevj8628 that, and most or all ABS don't even cycle below a certain speed. I.e. at the low speeds we mostly see in this video. The wheels will lock up like we see, even with ABS
ABS says lock up and steer, ABS will,control brakes better then a human
Winter conditions are full of surprises. You can't do much on black ice except try to maintain as much control as possible...which is next to none even with winter tires and 4x4. I like this compilation because it outlines that without anybody being seriously injured. That hill was scary tho. Sliding into traffic would give me a heart attack. I'm glad nobody was hurt.
Great video!
I have reached the point in my life where I don't have to be out in that type of weather. Thank God!
Right on, i'm going on my 6th winter where i can choose to not go anywhere for days at a time and still make 6digits annually at 35. ha!
@@AC-mr7is - I wonder if you rely on the trucking industry
@@d.s7741 what do you mean by that?
@@AC-mr7is - you wouldn't make any money if truckers didn't move your product, or the product whose company that you represent. Or bring you or them their supplies. Think about it. Congrats on your success though.
@@d.s7741 Oh I see haha, no, sure I depend on getting things from the trucking industry but not any more than the average person.I don't move any product, I make money from rental properties that I own.
One good tip is when the roads are icy and partially covered with snow is to try to stay ON the snow. It's actually better traction.
Cal Crappie true the more snow better traction the snow will either make you stuck or make you drive better but it will not make you slide, that is the ice that will make you slide!
Good tip. I was on a hill that was steep and it was icy so my one friend decided to speed up and then slam on the brakes for a second right before the hill. It didn't work. We smashed into 3 cars before we stopped. He's in jail now because turns out he was kinda drunk when that happened. Lol
I'd say stay home
You often have to drive on the snow since if you drive on the ice, the bottom of the car will just drag in the snow and if it's deep enough the wheels will just spin in the air.
@nvsbl2 I lived in Miami in the 70s when I was in college. Best comment yet. I still miss it.
If you want to steer, GET YOUR FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE!!!!
That's the hardest thing to teach. Also, you do not have AWD unless you are giving gas. If you are braking you just cancelled you AWD. People panic, which is easy to do, like when there is a brick wall right in front of you, it's pretty hard to tell yourself to give gas and steer!
meanwhile in a fwd car give a little gas and itl turn strait for you
No way, locking your brakes up is mandatory, along with holding the steering wheel with a death grip.
@@billthompson5644 SPLAT! CRASH! THUD! GROAN!! (Approaching sounds of sirens in the distance....Ohh, AAAAA Ohh, AAAA, etc.)
Fred Ferd so true😂( I'm laughing at all the stuff you typed not the situation
Those people should have just stayed home.
Bill Slater they had to go out and get milk and bread
LOL. Yeah, true. I'm 59 years old and when I was a kid we had 2-3 snow storms every year. Not just a couple of inches either. In fact, there were times the only cars that could get around with no problems were Volkswagens., and the only cars with front wheel drive were Cadillac Eldorado's, Oldsmobile Tornados, and Subaru's. Today's generation would be in a complete state of panic if it snowed the way it used to.
@@imperiallebaron4476 I doubt your 59 stop lying lmao
@Ross micheal Yes, that was the same what I was thinking. It's not needed to stay home, they should be better buy winter tires!
@@1994clue You think they will become better drivers if they buy winter tires?! The tires will help, but a bad driver never thinks they're a bad driver.
The last snow storm we had here in Chicago, I bolted on a set of snow tires the night before in my driveway.
Sure it was cold and uncomfortable, but the improved traction was worth it.
Agreed! It's better than slipping and sliding all over the place, and maybe ending up injured...or dead!
There's an old saying that goes along with what you did, in order to prepare for ice and snow, and I think you'll agree, because you strike me as a very wise person. The saying is this:
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!"
I commend you for your wise decision.
Have a great day!
The hill that's featured multiple times in this video is just a couple hours from me, in Duluth, MN. And would you believe that nearly ALL the downtown grid has its stop signs on the up- and downhills like that one, rather than the benched cross streets?!? In a city with near-San Franciscan steepness, and snow six months out of the year. Insane...
When watching I was thinking how much UT looked like Duluth....
One time I was driving down interstate 64 (a very dangerous road) and hanging from an overpass was a massive flashing digital sign that actually said "DRIVE SAFE: AVOID DISTRACTION". It may have been the most ironic thing I've ever seen.
The chevy impala at the end was actually pretty impressive to get out of that snow bank
Canadian hint: all season tires aren't. If you get freezing weather, get ice & snow tires.
Oddly enough but ice never forgives or gives a crap.
Alternate title could be "Curling With Cars!"
😂😂😂 🌨
Or maybe carling!?
Or SUV drivers without an clue
Didn't see any brooms
Love that title🤣😂🤣OMG
Hey Jed, whaddya do in your down time in winter? “Oh, I just sit in my bedroom window and film idiots comin’ over the bend”...........
These are the people who don't belong on the roadways in Minnesota until after successfully completing a driving test in Duluth downtown. Upon your second fail you need to move to a warmer location, and someone else will drive you to the Iowa state line.
I just love when SUV drivers realize that they might be able to GO better than cars in wintry conditions, but they are at similar disadvantages when brakes get involved. I am generally a fan of watching speeding SUV drivers catch a plow trail, then pirouette deep into the median, where they’ll sit for hours. SLOW DOWN!!!!!
AWD SUV with highway tires in ice and snow,, Love it. Next stop, body shop!!!
here in Colorado they have to remind people every year, ''You May Have 4 Wheel Drive, but You Do NOT Have 4 Wheel Stop.'' Ice doesn't care about your Mega Macho Truck and your bad driving habits. LOL
I was all excited for the snow today and planned a drive. I’ve changed my mind, thank you.
I refuse to drive unless work calls and screams over the phone "You HAVE to work today!"
@@largol33t1 Under these conditions, I'd refuse even then. I have to drive 10 miles uphill to get to work. What would normally be a half-hour drive at most, in these conditions, would be a 3 hour drive due to lack of grip. I already work 10-11 hour shifts (And that's in normal conditions) driving a truck and would then have to drive home. Nope. Not spending between 16 and 20 (adjusted for extra driving time whilst AT work) hours of my day at work/getting to work.
A day with ICE and snow? A day for sleep! Thousands Dollars saved!!!
👍To that.
AWD and winter tires, those who miss work when it snows.....no comment.
Yea, people are idiots for getting out in that stuff especially on a hill thinking putting on the brakes will help.
Well some of us have jobs to get to
@@hunterengelbrecht6079 tbh, I would rather miss a day or two of work than to wreck my car an/or die 😂
That sign is the signal to speed up for a lot of drivers today.
As a truck driver, I can tell you that there are only 2 seasons.....winter and construction
Bahahahahhhha
Very true .. I can see my dad saying that now
Jake Knelsen 10-4 on that!!!
Gonna steal that one! Thanks.
Have at 'er
Nope as a 22yr veteran of trucking ... I can still attest to 4 seasons... winter,still winter,doggone its still winter and highway construction due to winter.
I’ve driven in the states in winter I’m amazed how everyone keeps driving fast even though it’s snowing heavy. 😊🇬🇧
Old Iron here in Canada is not any different, I see everything from a wheel spinning FWD car from a red light all the way up to semis planted in the ditch on their sides, and yes there are plenty of cocky people who use the “I have a 4x4 pickup truck” excuse and they are the ones who have a tow truck on call. In the UK, you just need to watch for the big rig drivers who will intentionally push you off the road.
Old Iron Hey I’m American!!! And I totally agree with you 😎
In Denver it seems rhat thenbulk of drivers fall into two types: Drivers who don't slow down at all for snow or ice (and generally drive too fast for dry roads), and a smaller group who slow down to 20 at the first sight of a snowflake. It's a dangerous combination
I love the ones that lock up the brakes and still try to turn.
The front wheels become like rudders. If there's some snow on the ground, it can sort of work sometimes.
@@pgsells It will work exactly none of the time. I live in Canada, winters get bad quick. Hit your brakes to slow down if you like (especially if you have a well functioning ABS system like most modern cars do) but release the brake to turn or you're not going anywhere except the path of least resistance. Which in the case of snow is wherever it's most compacted.
Well, I didn't say it would work well or that it's even desirable, but I've seen it succeed by chance on a few occasions, if the snow happens to lie correctly; but it's chancy as you point out.
Hey, i'll just leave my truck at the bottom of a snowy hill on the wrong side of the street. I'm sure nothing bad will happen.
People need to learn what an e-brake is, as well as snow tires, as well as AWD lol, it’s not hard to power out of it, and pulling the e-brake and swinging ur steering wheel to the curb away from traffic, is a great way to go side ways and stop... make sure your in the clear before you that though, but with a RWD vehicle, just give it gas lol...
The best car I've ever driven in snow that handled with no issues was my Ford Tempo p.o.s. when I was 16 years old.. It had bald tires but handled ice and snow on flat surfaces and hills like a champ.
This video has got to be the best advert for winter tyres I’ve ever seen.
It is a better advertisement for learning how to drive on snow. Better tires wouldn't help most of these people
Those just give you a false sense of security.
Live in Canada and its slow and steady to get you home safe,and never take your eyes off the road.!
David Moreton see my note..🇨🇦
I do too
The rag handle it Good Sylvia isgod
London ontario is one of the worst. Just stay home.....nobody knows how to drive and it's not just in the bad weather. Beautiful, warm, sunny day and ppl look like they are playing bumper cars.
I wonder if the drivers notice how when they take their foot off the brake pedal that they suddenly have ability to manoeuvre the car or do they just think something magical happened?
Eddie Bibby That's the problem with drivers education. The only "real" applicable training you will learn is if you take course like B.R.A.KE.S or have raced. It's just amazing how little drivers ed teaches people about the car and how it responds to a given input.
I know it is so frustrating, I think all of these drivers need to take a test.
they just think something magical happened other wise they will not be in the video ;)
Every time I have to deal with ice and snow I always go find an empty parking lot to remind myself how to adjust for the conditions. Where I live, thankfully, I deal with it for maybe 1-2 days a year but it is useful reminder that downshifting and remaining in gear rather than using brakes generally gives me far more control, and it is lots of fun when you have a large open environment free of obstacles.
Probably magic
Speed was a factor in every one of these clips. I feel like people don’t understand physics.
It’s amazing how many people don’t know that you cannot steer or control the vehicle if your wheels are locked up
They panic. Then they're dangerous
They seem to think of the brake as the "safe" button and leave the rest to God
Snow tires, and studs help too. And even with that, going slow makes them work much better.
If you have two cars and one has a manual, take the manual. You can downshift to slow down without touching your brakes. Of course, the tradeoff is you cannot exceed 25 mph in order to stay within 2nd and 3rd gear...
@@largol33t1 In some automatic transmission cars you can shift down with pedals at the steering wheel. Without brake of course.
I wonder how people that live where it gets snowy and icy never learn to drive in those conditions, then I remember how many people live with water all around them that never learn to swim.
Pat McBride some people cant afford the good shit, clear ice is hard to spot too, even my dad, who is experenced, slides once in a while. Its hard to stop with no grip
Pat McBride connect it to the fact, that in USA most of the people never learn to use the manual stick, and you have to answer.... They are just lazy fatasses who price comfort of not having to change gears by yhemselvs more than control of the car...
And where some of that is from, it will dust with snow in the middle of the afternoon, then suddenly clear up with a 10 degree temp drop in less then half hour, so all the water/snow instantly freezes into ice.
When the weather is this bad, just stay home.
unless you're a truck driver 😉
@Maroxa FACTS
@Maroxa Yeah me too.
itsmegp46 says no one with actual responsibilities and a job and a life!!!
itsmegp46 You must be on welfare. People actually have jobs and have to go to work to make a living, you know?
Its winter...its snowing...there's ice on the road. Let's all go for a spin in the New Yorker!
As a retired cop I saw two obvious problems.
1. Driving too fast for existing conditions; and
2. Lack of snow tires.
Yup no snow tires is a big one .
SLOW DOWN & STUDDED SNOWTIRES ……..COMM0N SENSE !
Where are the sand trucks; that should help with traction.
and not holding the steering at 10 to 2
I've made it through a few winters with non- winter tires and 2 wheel drive. Whenever I feel like I'm going to slide, I DON'T LOCK MY BREAKS UP, and nothing ever happens
When the weatherman says don’t drive on icy roads, don’t.
Not an option for most people unfortunately. Rent and car payments don't take a break for snow days and many of us are lucky just to have jobs because of covid.
Also if you in a spin, put it in neutral
@@joycethiery2488 Wrong answer Joyce. you must turn your wheels in to the spin and lightly tap the gas as the car heads where you want to go.
Or buy Nokian snow tires and put them on your car/truck.
When you are a nurse and have other's depending on you, staying home is not an option!
Just have to leave home earlier and go slow and steady.
One winter's day, No snow in the forecast. My shift was over, left to go home and it had snowed all day without realizing it.
Took me 2 hours to what normally took 25 minutes to get home.
Lived in MN for 8 years. They maintained the roads pretty well. But there were days I told them come and get me if you want me in today.
After watching this I feel very good about my driving.
0:08 COME ON MAN IT CLEARLY SAYS: ‘ICY ROAD. REDUCE YOUR SPEED.’
So glad I live in Houston, Texas area. When we have snow I stay home and watch tv of Houstonians try to drive 55 on fly-overs. It destruction derby time
I live in florida. Its super hot all the time, so no snow.
They behave in a similar manner when it rains.
It’s happening there, right now, Feb 15, 2021
How bout now
@@pal_clips hahaha I laugh but want to know too.
I gave up driving in 2016 and this is the first time I've felt really good about it!
0:43 By the looks of the barrier fence and the house in the background, this road needs to be a one way only, the other way.
I love how when people spin out in the middle of the road and maybe clip a sign or something but they leave the damn car in the lane. Hey if the car can still move get it off the fking road so you dont cause a fking pile up.
The idiot in the red Jeep for instance caused more problems by sitting there in the middle of the road.
I love the fact they hit the brakes realize they have no traction and continue hitting the brakes like that will help
It kind of blows my mind how many people live in these areas and don’t know enough enough not to drive in those conditions. 😂🤪
People have to go to work
Don’t you think it’s possible the conditions became this way while they were at work and now are trying to get home?
0:06 it's pretty pathetic that signs have to be installed to tell idiots behind the wheel to reduce their speed in inclement weather.
And they still drive stupid
I live in buffalo, we get a LOT of snow. Knowing that you’d think drivers would know how to handle the snow here lol. They don’t. They’ll actually speed and drive like a crazy person.
That sign is on an interstate in central minnesota. We have snow/icy roads 6+ months a year and every year people forget how to drive in winter.
Up here in MN they have to put signs up to tell us to take turns when 2 lanes go to 1, lol.
You know for a fact that people can't read so why I post it on a sign.
When sliding don't touch your brakes OR the gas! It's called steering out of danger!
Richard clarke Yes, sometimes taking your foot off the brake is the answer.
Patrick Maloney when we’re talking about ice, it is always the answer
Sometimes you have no other choice really, live in a steep hill where theres a building at the end of it, no streets in the hill except mine which is at the beggining, if i let my car go down it speeds up really fast and its a boulevard down the hill, i could easily kill myself on the building of the wall and crash into cars on the blvrd
On the wall of the building*
While I will grant you that some of these people sliding down the hill should have taken their foot off the brake long enough for their front wheels to gain traction and actually steer the car in the direction they wanted, not touching the brake on a hill that steep when there's a stop sign at the bottom is a good way to get people killed.
slow down, get winter tires, learn how to drive
And if the road is a sheet of ice.... stay home.
Here in Finland roads are icy every day and everything goes fine.
@@TK-bb6uf yeah there's a reason you never really see those kinds of videos from the Nordic countries.
If you stay at safe steady speed, place car in neutral going downhill, stopping is easy with no locking brakes. 50+yrs driving on ice. Zero accidents!
I live in canada snow tires and experience are the answers.
I was gonna say it doesn't look like any of these cars have snow tires.
That stinks wow.
+Terry Williams - don't forget the ability, fortitude, and foresight to say "no, today I'm not going to drive, because it's too damn dangerous". Observation and planning are elements sorely lacking in North American driver training.
I get by in upstate central NY on all season tires ...no accidents for me ... I think the opening clip was in Kentucky... not many places get winters like I do ..
I live in Canada and I have seen all of this many times. I used to work in an office with a view of Caledonia street between Blanshard and Douglas in Victoria. Any morning with light snow, my co-workers and I would watch the cars slide out of control down Caledonia, often going right out into the heavy traffic on Douglas. The fun would last for a couple of hours until the cops would put a barricade up at the Blanshard street end.
gee let's go 100 miles a hour when we see a bunch of cars off the road
MH DairyFarm a
I see it every snowstorm. We had a little teaser storm a couple of days ago. Roads only got bad for a couple of hours right around noon. Heading down the interstate a couple of exits and I come up on .... a Subaru wagon, nose off the road in the snow, rear end sticking into the breakdown lane. DMV truck there and a flat bed.
I look to the left and there's a Prius parked way down in the median. I could see the lady moving bags around. She had just gone on one heck of a ride from the northbound lane.
Slow down!
A set of chains sure makes a difference.
The Opportunity Drive sign was perfectly placed 😅
There’s a great organization called Opportunity Partners on that street. They help developmentally disabled people find work and contribute to society so they feel valued.
Yep! I noticed that, too.
Here, we have someone who had the opportunity to do the right thing...but failed.
Experience is always the best teacher, don't you think?
i find walking works well
@R Diaz lol well played
Until you slip and fall on the ice
The second video proves otherwise!
I find staying in works even better
Try walking on ice covered sidewalks.
There's a solution to this: SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!!!!!
The ones speeding on the freeways are just ridiculous.
if you lock up your breaks your going to have a bad time
jdam ! Yeah they're obviously French frying when they should be pizza-ing
dpm9a1 I know the fools XD.
Brakes. Brakes FFS.
Yeah..."Darsh"
Brakes not breaks
I live in MI and where I live, not only can people NOT drive safely, they CAN'T read signs or follow speed limits, let alone stop for red lights and stop signs!!!
Must be awesome living in a place like this. Beautiful snow to enjoy while sipping hot cocoa by the fire. Wish I lived there.
Last time it snowed where I live, Austin, TX, my water froze up for a week. Some people lost their power for about as long, but I was lucky! Snow belongs up north! Not in TX!
If it’s icy or snowy outside. I’ll grab myself a cup of coffee and jump on my couch and put some Netflix on. No need to risk driving outside.
FastestCores : Both refrigerators, pantry shelves and wine racks are well stocked. And your right. Jump on the couch.
If you have to get to work?
Pavol P. if you crash guess what? you're not getting to work.
I see another kid that knows everything is here
*sigh* to be a kid again. I wish I'd have no complaints about being a kid again except that I wouldn't have my kids.
So...How are those ALL SEASON tires workin' out for Ya? Those shown on 45 degree hills and pure ice...WHY even MOVE Your vehicle???
45 degree hill is black piste alpine skiing, or steeper. But essentially you are right, what one needs is real AWD, proper winter tyres, ground clearance, reduced speed, handling experience. Driven 25 years on snow and ice. from slippery conditions. Besides, no ABS /ESP in any car?
ABS/ESP won't help if the tires do not fit to the road conditions.
Buy some firestone winterforces
Greg Mach I have Michelin x ice north in two awd sportswagons. Also, when it gets really icy, go for nokian studded.
Nokian is a cheap russian tire. Michelin x ice had em they are over rated. I am a mechanic for 12 years. I know good and bad
When the roads are like that, NO WAY do I venture out on the roads.
Pro Tip = Lower your speed + winter tires save lives 🤙
0:38 'Don't go in today, Hun, it's treacherous out there.' 'I've got to. The report has to be on Johnson's desk by 3pm..' 'Really? He's in Florida!'
I know,but, I'm a blond.
99 % operator error !
I think its 1% not the rest of their faults though

There's a hill in Philly around Penny Pac park that always ices up. Every winter after a snow my dog and I go to the park and watch the show.
Ahhh, Duluth in the winter. I remember you well.
In snowy/icy weather, the rule is...FLOOR IT!! If you run into a problem, slam on the brakes and lock up the wheels. You'll be fine.
Really?
Uh sarcasm I hope
Approved by all WRC drivers
This is correct to some extent. If your going up a hill. Floor it and don't stop
Solid advice
I presume these ppl have never heard of snow tires? Ice and snow is my reality 5 months of the year and I can assure you they work.
LOL I presume you also know how to drive in winter conditions whereas most of the people in the video do not.
What about chains? You can get through a lot of snow with chains on your tires. And have good stopping ability.
@@Paiadakine some places tire chains are not permitted.
I live in northern MN, I used to be the owner operator of a small Towing business. What I find interesting is that new car dealerships always talk up all models of cars, trucks, SUV's but none tell prospective buyers that they ALL stop the same! People/Driver's think because they have Four wheel drive they can drive as fast and carelessly as they want until it comes time to Stop and they can't.. I removed so many 4x4's from the ditch it blew my mind. Speed causes most issues but until people have a close call their clueless, IMHO. I finally retired due to the dangers alongside our highways etc. I drive on ice every year and Never have issues as I know how to drive. My wrecker is a 2wheel drive model and I have never been stuck even once.
Use to live in Northern New England, which is a place of beauty, I sure don't miss the 8 months of this snowy stuff.
Stop signs at the bottom of long hills illustrate the optimism and naive planning of traffic engineers.
Michael, you don't have 8 months of snow stuff. What a whoopie, can't stand winter in new england!
title of this video should be "naw, I don't need snow tires" lol.....
Snow tires wouldn't have saved many of those people sliding down hill. Shifting into neutral might help, but often there is nothing you can do - and that includes all the smart asses here that think all of this is just bad driving.
@@itsmeagain8986 Ya something you can do, dont go downhill. stay inside. move to texas. sell your car and buy a horse
nah it should be i'm in a SUV/truck i can go anywhere
Very kind of you @@championx1, to offer all these suggestions, but unfortunately none of them will work for me. Firstly, for both political and climatic reasons, Texas isn't on my list of places I would ever move to. Secondly, I live on a hill, so avoiding downhill travel is pretty much impossible. Next, I walk three times a day, every day, even in temperatures of minus 25
Celsius (-13 Fahrenheit) or colder, so I just can't see myself staying inside. I have had a car since I was a teenager and after more than 50 years of driving, I'm too old to change
to the horse option. Besides, I have to pick up crap from my small dog - I don't need the much greater mess that horses make.
A good part of all those years of driving has been done in winter conditions, and on a number of occasions, my vehicle has gone out of control without warning under icy
conditions. In no case was traffic a factor, nor was I exceeding the speed limit or making a turn or any other maneuver. Only once did it happen coming down a hill, although on another occasion, I watched my parked car slide down a slight incline, even though it was in gear (manual transmission) with the emergency brake on. In all cases though,
roadside snowbanks saved my vehicles from any damage. Lucky me.
@tim Forbrook If you live in florida maybee. :/ its physics dude, if you dont have tracktion your gona slide. Sad lie.
Never had a problem in ice or snow with a set of Bridgestone Blizzaks on all 4 corners.
I'll second the motion! I didn't go quite "all out" for the Blizzaks but my Toyo "Celsius" (Canadian approved for winter) have been an amazing set of tires. Hardly ever even caused activation of traction control or the anti-lock brakes & went places with two wheel drive that had 4 wheelers getting stuck if they didn't have worthwhile tires
Nokian's my brand ... been using them for over 25 years!
I thought antilock brakes were a thing. Regardless, you need to pump brakes if wheels start to slide. Just sitting there with your foot jammed on the brake pedal is pure incompetence.
And if you live in an area that gets a lot of snow, you'll need snow tires.
This is what happens when you buy “All Season Tires” and also didn’t change summer tires yet
I won't go out in winter anymore with anything less than a tire that carries the symbol (triple mountain peak with a snow flake) that is approved in Canada as a winter tire. I drove sensibly & rarely even activated the traction control or the anti-lock brakes in the worst driving & I was going places with front-wheel drive where people were getting stuck with 4 wheelers & typical crappy tires!
@@DejaView a ggod snow tire is a plus.
I’m sure the employers will be impressed by the dedication for the attempt to get to work. But unlikely to reimburse you for the cost of that deduction
I can't imagine being elderly and living where it snows, even a small fall is dangerous.
then you wouldn't want to be Canadian! lol
Live and grow where it snows every year and then you can handle it. If not, dont live there.
Yak Trax! They're lifesavers.
Elderly can't drive anyways, I work in a parking lot and amazed on how many can't back up, use a signal, park correctly.
None use a review mirror. We call the parking lot a war zone and it lives up to it's name.
Yes, it can be terrifying.
And no studded tires, a load of 2 wheel drive vehicles in cities that have bad weather, what's the worst that can happen 🤔
When you get into one of these wrecks cause you just needed to get the milk, bread, and eggs. Like you couldn’t just have French toast tomorrow. And immediately regret going out
Something Tells Me that all of those drivers have the Wrong tires on Meaning all season instead of Winter Tires
Not everyone can afford them, but they can reduce the psi. That increases traction. 👍
@@ivechang6720
Get a set of cheap steel wheels and put winter tires on them. Both sets of tires will last twice as long as you are splitting the wear.
Once you have done winter on winter tires, you will never go back.
Never used winter tyres on our 21 year old land rover discovery. She's never had a problem with snow or mud.
@@Kat-mu8wq
Where do you live?
Tires are important but I think these people have absolutely no idea what to do in these sort of conditions. The techniques you use to drive on summer roads are not the same as those on winter roads. I think that’s the larger issue.
0:30 is the best crash
I grew up in the midwest and I will never understand people's overwhelming desire to attempt driving in conditions like this. I understand not wanting to take vacation time for weather issues but seriously, stay home until the plows are done plowing and sanding the roads.
the Summer tire Gang again!!
norm lor and people in the comments talk about 4x4 and abs lol so many idiots
first of all even driving with $500 winter tires at 100rpm is outrageous so many unnecessary crashes could be avoided by slowing down!!
We don't need no stinking winter tires! Doh!
I agree. Better tires could have prevented half of this.
7734... As long as you can go, it doesn't matter if you can't turn or stop.
”Locking the breaks will help my stearing ability”
”Full trottle will help my passability”
Check!😂
I'll take the humid summers of my Southern home over this every time.
Understandable. But this northern boy would just plain melt
Think I'll stay in Africa thank you! No icy roads, deep snow, blizzards, tornados etc etc
I love driving in the winter up here! Soft climates produce soft men, someone said.
There's a sense of accomplishment to get to where you're going, on time in a blizzard.
Lived in the north for 70 years, never had a accident in winter.
@@shellyj7536 your wrong Shelly, it has snowed in South Africa from time to time. It has snowed there this winter for them(May into September). It is just the opposite like here in United States. When we have our winter it's those folks their summer. The country of South Africa has two ski areas by the way.
Al Nonymous, a typical pansy wansy crybaby when it comes to winter weather. These snow scenes of vehicles skidding is just child's play compared to elsewhere in the US and the world. Medically speaking for me, being in the heat in southern US and west to Arizona/California is worst I ever would want. 100 degrees is worse than 80 degrees. 135 in Death Valley, California is worse than 125 degrees in Phoenix, Arizona. The hotter temperature in itself, increases more inflammation in the body for a person of having a inflammatory autoimmune disease like my Sarcoidosis I was diagnosed of having in 2002. More inflammation causes more of this inflammatory pain and the risk for a heart attack goes way up too. I know all too much about heat. Last USAF base I was at was Sheppard AFB; Wichita Falls, Texas. That summer 1978 there was 55 days in a row of 100 degrees or more. Twenty of those days were between 110 to 114 degrees. I worked in one area of a factory that was 120 degrees. A food processing company was 125 degrees by July came around.
My Mom & Dad are just outside of the town boundary, Where speed limit changes, and it's a hill. every time it snows someone ends up in the ditch at the bottom of the hill. More often than not, it's a 4by4 they can go but they can't stop.
2:28, There is no duplicating the sound of a VW diesel.
timothylegg damn, I thought that was a John Deere lawn tractor pulling out a car
Being a Texan who learned to drive in West Virginia, I can say that I have only had a couple incidents like this. All the cars I've driven were front wheel or rear wheel drive. Passed many 4 x 4s that lulled they're drivers into complacency with the whole "I can go anywhere with this vehicle". Jeesh!
I love watching these people in 4x4s crashing in the snow thinking they're safe since they have four wheel drive.
Sinky they bought 4x4s, the problem is their shity tires, its like trying to run on a clean basketball quart with socks on.
Sinky what about trying to run on ice?
If the Jamaicans can do it anybody can! lol
Sinky yes I love it in the snow in Australia they are the ones who usually crash four wheel drive is zero help in lateral movement and the heavy truck goes against you. I could watch 4wd s crash all day as they are pains in the ass
If you don't know how to drive one, "4 wheel drive" just means you can go twice as far into the ditch.
I find it ironic that you must reduce your speed on opportunity drive LOL
That guy definitely missed his opportunity... XD
