Hey Ashley. Thanks for the video! I honestly didn't really expect any of my clips to get featured on any of your videos, so to have an entire video dedicated just for my clips and in such a positive manner, is humbling. It means a lot to hear you say all this, since only a few years ago I was one of the problem drivers. After finding your channel, I made a massive effort to improve and as you can see, it paid off. Driving in this manner is not only saver, it's also so much more relaxing! Really enjoyed this trip to Sweden as well. A very different experience from the Dutch winters (which are just grey and wet). I honestly can recommend it to everyone. Walking through knee-high snow in endless forests is such a great experience. The only downside is the trip to get there. Driving on highways for a total of 16 hours total wasn't exactly fun, especially the first 8 hours through Germany and Denmark. Once in Sweden we made regular stops to visit some national parks (Tiveden was amazing in the snow!) and only did 4 hours per day.

The horses will probably be using studded shoes. Think winter tyres for hooves! Source: My wife is a Finnish riding instructor. :)

[@fburton8]

When riding in snow, I also used to smear vaseline on inside of the hoof and on the soles as per British Horse Society training. The idea is to stop snow balling under the hooves and getting compressed into hard ice. I always had doubts about how well that actually worked, but I guess it did no harm and was probably better than nothing. Studded shoes are useful for road work too, especially to stop sliding down steep sections.

Keeping only the front two shoes, or no shoes at all is also an option used by some people. There's also borium which is used by the people that can afford it. source: sister owns a livery yard

Interestingly Sweden did drive on the left until 1967 when they had the big changeover.

[@kenbrown2808]

interesting. in my part of the states, it is the opposite way 'round. studded tires are banned from around March to around November, unless special dispensation is given due to snowy conditions. and the only time special traction is mandated is in actual severe snow - and then it can be any listed winter tires, all season tires in combination with all wheel drive, or approved traction devices such as tire chains.

@@kenbrown2808 it's possible some states have different laws, especially closer to the south regions of Sweden where there isn't as much snow for as long, but I just went based on what is said on Trafikverkets website for winter tyres.

It's a good few years since I've driven in snow like that, although I've always enjoyed it in the past.

[@smilerbob]

Time for a little story. Get yourself a cuppa, sit back and -do something else- hopefully enjoy… Years ago I had to drive home from West London to Kent with snowy weather forecast. I filled the tank up with fuel, purchased some drinks and sugary nibbles just in case they were needed. Started off really good, snow falling but not sticking and everyone generally behaving themselves. Reached the M25 at juntion 15 and could still see tarmac, even on the hard shoulder. After junction 14 the snow got heavier and the hard shoulder was a little white but that was it but I decided to start keeping left and just follow the vehicles in front. The outer lanes were no place to be in my little Ford Fiesta with no ABS or ESP and the skow falling heavier. As we went beyond the M3 junction it changed. Almost like a stage change on the arcade game Out Run where it changes weather type. 4 lanes of tarmac’d motorway quickly became 2 “lanes” of tyre tracks in snow. The left lane doing

Horses don't tend to have special snow shoes, how ever you can purchase over shoes with grippers on. In the snow the frog area of the hoof tends to get packed with snow and regular hoof picking is required. If yer horse does lots of road use on tarmac the farrier will drill a hole in the shoes before fitting and fit a titanium stud which prevents sliding. 😊

[@raymondbenjamins5884]

Thanks! The first time driving on a single track road like that in that snow was definitely... interesting. I hadn't experienced much snow at all before, coming from the Netherlands, so this was quite different to what I'm used to. The snow was generally decently easy to drive on, as long as the speeds were right. It was interesting to see how they dumped little stones on the road to improve grip as well. I had never seen that before, but it certainly helps with it not being entirely ice!

I have driven in both Norway and Sweden, winter tyres are mandatory, studs are only allowed for vehicles registered outside urban areas (you should see the ruts they cut in the roads", and the noise they make.

Horses usually have studs in their shoes even for any strenuous activity on grass, so its almost guaranteed they have removable studs or even just studded winter shoes if its always frozen/snowy and they live out

[@KjellArvidHelgeneseth]

I'm not familiar with the rules in Sweden about winter-tyres, but in Norway it's not directly mentioned in the law that winter tyres are compulsory. However, it is mentioned that the car must be properly equipped for the road-conditions. Driving in snowy and icy conditions on summer-tyres is not considered to be properly equipped for the conditions. On the opposite end of this though, you are actually prohibited from driving with studded winter-tyres during certain months due to the extra wear-and-tear they cause to the roads.

[@clivewilliams3661]

Generally driving in snow as shown requires the traction control and the ABS to be switched off, which is becoming more and more difficult in modern cars. By far the best traction control is the one between your ears and the ABS is likely to switch off the brakes, when to stop pushing snow ahead is the best course of action. There are also times when deliberately losing traction on the rear can help in steering the vehicle. Normally, the principle when passing other road users on snowy roads with gradients is to give way to vehicles travelling up the grade because it is easier to retrieve momentum going down hill after stopping than up hill.

[@yatespeterm]

If people have an 80s/early 90s Honda with 'ABS' they probably won't be able to turn it off. (ALB on Hondas). However, they could remove the main ALB fuse in the fuse box near the engine. The brakes will work well, as if the ALB never existed. The system's warning lamp will be showing on the dashboard.

[@clivewilliams3661]

@@yatespeterm I had a '92 Audi 80 with the then 'new' ABS fitted. The instruction manual recommended turning off the ABS in snow and loose surface conditions and there was a prominent switch on the dash to do that on the fly. I also have a '94 Merc 500E that has traction control and ABS that is impossible to turn off (to switch the traction control off requires the gearbox to be disassembled!) and it is a REAL handful in snowy conditions even with winter tyres, it just ploughs on at every curve. The only concession to winter driving is the snow chain switch that starts the gearbox off in second gear. We also had an Octavia and in snowy/icy conditions it nearly caused an accident because the ABS completely switched off the braking system until I had eventually coasted to 5mph where it switched back on and the winter tyres dug in and I stopped. The switch controlling the ABS was hidden out of the way under the dash. Our current Superb has traction control and ABS, which can only be switched off by scrolling through various menus that has to be done safely by stopping, which can be inconvenient and dangerous when a change in road surface is encountered. Personally, I don't need traction control or ABS but I will accept it until I need fully manual control, which is when a big switch on the dash is absolutely necessary.

[@kenbrown2808]

the complaint I have in my newer car is that it sets the transmission to 2 wheel drive every time you shut off the engine. so if you forget to manually select winter mode when you start it, you have poor traction.never had a problem with traction control or ABS. maybe because I don't drive at speeds which require braking into corners when it's slick.

[@clivewilliams3661]

@@kenbrown2808 My problem with traction control (500E) is that on slippery surfaces the car has a tendency to plow straight on almost no matter what speed you are doing, it works fine when there is traction but a real pain when there isn't. As regards the ABS, as I said the ABS shut off all the braking in the slippery conditions as I approached a roundabout and only cut back in when I had coasted to 5mph. Had I been in manual control I would have cadenced braked, much as the ABS does even though the surface was slippery. In similar conditions I have always remained in control. Its no coincidence that rally cars don't have traction control, except on launch or ABS to gve the driver maximum options.

[@kenbrown2808]

@@clivewilliams3661 it's really sounding to me like that's a problem with YOUR car model. unless you are referring to being on warm wet ice. in those conditions, there isn't much of anything except good diamond chains that will give you any control. only times I've had any trouble with the current car was when traffic was going too slowly on banked corners, and we weren't carrying enough speed to overcome gravity - and that's hardly the fault of the traction control. and when I didn't notice that it automatically defaulted to front drive when we stopped for fuel, so it got a bit slippy on the next upgrade.

[@bertjesklotepino]

mr Neal, there are 2 ways of looking at the following problem, and i would love your opinion: Tailgating. When you do not keep any distance between yourself and the one infront, it is dangerous. Because you will not be able to stop in time. However, if you do not have a huge distance, the impact will be small. If you do have a huge distance between you and the one in front, and you did not pay attention and slam into the one in front, the impact will be much bigger. Much more energy transfer. So what is best? Tailgating while it is busy on the motor way, or keeping a huge gap to be able to stop in time? Sure, if you can stop in time, that is nice. But you need to pay attention to do that. Some do keep a nice gap in between themselves and the one in front. And they do not pay enough attention, and so they will miss the traffic jam. And so they will hit you with almost full speed from a great distance. It is a difficult discussion, in my opinion. Both sides have a good point. And sure, there will be damage if you can not stop intime. But it is minor compared to when you hit someone traveling with 100 kmph from greater distance. What is your opinion?

[@raymondbenjamins5884]

I don't see how this is a difficult situation at all. You should always be paying attention. It's usually the ones that are tailgating, that are also the ones not paying attention. You make it sound like your only options are to tailgate and pay attention, or not tailgate and not paying attention. Just leave enough distance and keep paying attention. Leaving a larger space also gives more time to react. It's really not difficult.

[@bertjesklotepino]

@@raymondbenjamins5884 first of all: are you mr Neal? It said: mr Neal, i would love your opinion. Second: You missed the point. Try again. I will tell you my point: The point is: If you keep a bigger gap between you and the one in front of you, the collision will be with more energy. If the gap is smaller, the collision will be with less energy. So, if you think about it, a smaller gap, and so people tail gating, they are actually safer than those who keep a huge distance. You can not pay attention while tailgating, and you can not pay attention while leaving a huge gap. The point is the collision that may happen if someone did not pay attention. Capici?
