    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.

    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 .

      @@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.

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..

    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.

    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

    It's so scary when this happens. I was on my way to work in conditions like this, when I did a 360 in the middle of the intersection. I stopped just inches from the front of a stopped car. I was so grateful! I slowed down after that!

    People need to learn not to just ride the brakes in fear. Pump the brakes steer when you're not pushing the brakes...

    When sliding don't touch your brakes OR the gas! It's called steering out of danger!

      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

      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.

      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.

      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.
