🇬🇧BRIT Reacts To IDIOTS IN CARS - PART 24!

[@Whoozerdaddy]

The guy at 2:50 didn't brake late, he was sliding on the slushy surface. You have to brake more gently on snow so you don't lose control. He just had too much momentum left when the other guy came to a stop.

[@SGlitz]

Ice and slush require driving adjustments

[@ChaosBlitzBeta]

I imagine it has to do with the road being so icy, so it's harder to stop due to the lack of grip.

[@doccindy7545]

In my experience most icy conditions don't involve much speed but even so are still expensive.

[@SGlitz]

Growing up in Michigan I always counted to 5 when the light turned green to see if anyone was going to slide through the intersection. Driving to conditions tickets were big back then.

[@aaronwieman8368]

Never ever ever hit the brakes hard when you start sliding… put both feet on the floor and steer into the slide.. let the weight of the vehicle slow you down gradually. If you hit the breaks you slide faster and lose whatever control you have left. Notice the red car hit his breaks and immediately started spinning.

[@Ameslan1]

Whenever you see snow need to drive even SLOWER and be even more on alert. Black ice or hidden ice could be underneath the snow. There are warning signs in the USA about taking more caution on bridges and overpasses can have ice and cause slipping of the cars. Many people do not know how to drive on ice and snow. if they know what to do, they just ignore it.

[@marygifford9379]

On ice, you need to do everything gradually. If you step on the brake hard or suddenly, you will skid. The car in the one vid was braking, but didn't have enough time and space to completely avoid the out of control car.

[@George-ux6zz]

They're on ice and snow. If he brakes hard he'll spin out of control.

[@arcanask]

7:20 I at least gotta give them props for picking up their stuff after it fell off. Not everyone does that.

[@screwylooygaming]

It's usually a priority if it's business related. I get what you meant though, seen random rugs and bins of all sorts on the roads.

[@mdf3530]

For the last clip, the snow plows and salt trucks take care of the main arterial roads first and then move to the residential streets. Sometimes it is so bad it's not safe for them to be out there. I've seen overturned snow plows.

[@screwylooygaming]

Also depends on the region you live in.

[@MiraChan]

And also salt only works down to a certain temp--I think like 15F--before it just isn't as effective.

[@mdf3530]

@@MiraChan regular sodium chloride works down to 5º F. Halite works down to -20º.

[@MiraChan]

@@mdf3530 Thanks!

[@mdf3530]

5:23 that's not slushy or patchy ice. The roads are a sheet of ice. Must have been a freezing rain.

[@jessm89]

I put my lunch away and moved my water before even watching this lol. Some of these people just drive so fast in bad conditions, and it's scary. Your "oh dear, oh dear, oh dear" is so funny and so cool to hear. :)

[@debbiecox3186]

It's just so English isn't it oh dear oh dear oh dear

[@screwylooygaming]

Fun US fact, states that don't get normal "winter" weather i.e. snow/ice/freezing temps don't usually budget for Salt and Grit to put on the roads if it happens, so you are at the mercy of your employer and your own decision making when traveling.

[@liber7773]

I just love how worked up bad driving makes Kabir. It’s funny

[@chuckhunter77]

As a cyclist I have to limit my viewing of Idiots In Cars. I'll be a neurotic mess if I binge these videos.

[@ryanswaynow]

2:55 “Why did this guy break so late?” He didn’t. They are on ice my guy. If you slam on your brakes in winter conditions like that, you’re not gonna slow down at all, you’re just gonna start spinning around like the first car did. You have to gently pump your brakes and slow down slowly. It’s really the only reason the second car only bumped the first one, as opposed to ramming into it full speed and totaling both vehicles.

[@JosephRussellStapleton]

Thank you.

[@robertrodgers1423]

No one can drive on icy roads. In the South we get an ice storm about every 3 years so there are few government programs to salt and sand the roads. It is just best to not drive but there is always someone who wants to go see everything, usually a nice 4x4.

[@mildredpierce4506]

2:14 that is the way people drive these days. Instead of changing to the right lane when it is safe way before they reach their exit, they remain in the extreme left side of the road and then make a right turn in front of 3, 4 or five lanes of traffic to get to their exit. I see this type of lunacy every day on the surface streets as well as on the freeways.

[@Boodieman72]

For the one with the pickup dropping stuff at the intersection, have to remember the US drives on the other side of the road.

[@Shaggy_PacMan]

They rarely salt roads in residential areas in America. As long as business areas have salted roads, that's all they care about.

[@ZachParks21]

It was the icy road. He probably stopped a while ago but you slide and you can't really control anything. That's why you have to stop in advance and make sure you're not speeding on an icy road and know how to turn a car correctly and when not to break.

[@JoeKier7]

The four cars hit by the train did not break down. They stopped on the tracks due to the stopped traffic when they should have stopped on the other (near) side of the tracks all because they did not want to wait for the train to pass.

[@chainsofscarlet9054]

You've never driven in heavy snow, have you? In snowy conditions you have to hit your brakes three times earlier than you normally would, and you don't slow very quickly.

[@ESUSAMEX]

Stopping a car on snow and ice is not always easy. The driver was most likely sliding and once a car starts sliding it is impossible to control.

[@randalmayeux8880]

Hi Kabir! Good reaction as usual. As long as there are cars, there will be idiots.

[@GradietPanda12345]

There’s going to be idiots regardless of there being cars or not

[@Roboto2073]

As far as the snow one, You should not put on the breaks when sliding in snow or ice. It will only make your stopping worse. You just need to let your foot off the gas at that point to reduce your speed until you can brake. Tip for the day.

[@Roboto2073]

I responded way to early. There were several snow ones on this video.

[@RebeccaMidyette]

These videos are anxiety inducing but I watch them none the less.

[@livvyweimar7362]

I just love your colorful expressions when you react to these videos 😂😂😂 "What are you doing you Muppet?!?!" Hilarious 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@Raver_S_Thompson]

He broke late because it was ice and abs is meant to simply ate pumping the brakes. In your time look up pileup on carefree and powers Colorado. It should be from 2010. That was a fun day to just sit and watch.

[@gregcissell345]

The black suv looked like he had a blowout

[@michaeltipton5500]

I don't know why people insist on driving when the roads are a sheet of ice. I stay home and let everyone else fight it out.

[@reneehomen2226]

The anxiety is understandable. Watching a 2 ton weapon being unleashed on unsuspecting people. A car is a weapon if used incorrectly.

[@daleowen2606]

It's crazy to drive fast in winter conditions. Most of these people were probably running summer tires as well which makes it very difficult to stop

[@gwyntx7620]

We hardly get snow where I'm at in TX. We had snow yrs ago and my ass of a boss said we had to come in. Slipping and sliding all the way there. Guess who didnt show up? Trying to get home was worse cause now its iced over. Scary feeling when you start sliding over the road.

[@sallyintucson]

You think that truck was overloaded? You should see the ones loaded with furniture heading to Mexico. Eight plus couches stacked on top of each other with a dozen plus mattresses with more on top of a ordinary pick up truck. I live about 40 minutes from Mexico.

[@AndrewSkow1]

2:51 the whole road is literally ice.

[@killer99701]

i hate having to drive on black ice. So glad i live in a small town with lots of side roads so i don't have to take the highway with crazy drivers

[@jamesigorreilly979]

Grit and salt on roads in the States are done in the order of priority … city side streets or home streets are low on the list unless there are a lot of accidents

[@LaShumbra_Bates_AuDHD]

Watching these videos has made me a better & more cautious driver. But I still hate driving though. If there was nearby transportation, I definitely wouldn't drive in to work.

[@pjb3583]

I only watch these when you do. Just FYI, on icy or snowy roads, you don’t want to brake very hard at all or very suddenly ‘cos that only makes the skid worse. Peace …

[@laurataylor8717]

Kabir, you're always talking about the hand brake. The only time I ever use the hand brake if I'm parking on a hill. Maybe it's because most people here drive automatic-- not sure if that's a factor.

[@mfree80286]

Older ABS systems will lull you into a false sense of security on ice. If it gets very slippery the slightest braking causes the wheels to slip and the ABS to activate, and it will essentially cut almost all your braking power in the interests of keeping the wheels rolling. Good for steering and stability, bad because you aren't going to stop. And yes, there are some conditions where a locked wheel can stop faster than one being kept rolling via ABS. Newer/better systems can account somewhat for this. My '03 Sonoma has a three channel system and will happily lock one rear wheel in reduced traction conditions and not fire ABS until the other one stops spinning, because it reads the axle and gets a modified average. Bottom line: Know your vehicle.

[@mdf3530]

I have a channel recommendation for you: Motorsport Chaos. It's compilation videos of wrecks during races (NASCAR, F1, Indycar, ASA, World of Outlaws, superbikes, motocross, etc.).

[@JosephRussellStapleton]

2:51 You can't slam the brakes and stay in control with those road conditions. He would have spun out like the other car.

[@douglascampbell9809]

You keep asking why the people break so late when it's winter. It's called glare ice, their wheels weren't even spinning. They were sliding for most of the video footage.

[@Kenneth_James]

That second one suchs the most cuz it was Christmas eve

[@mildredpierce4506]

6:49 The person that got out of that white truck was not the driver. This was from the US or Canada where the passenger is on the right side of the vehicle. The driver was driving away because he was blocking an intersection.

[@DaveWossum]

The truck that lost it's load in the intersection: That is the passenger side of the vehicle, not the driver side! lol, I am just messing with you. Still super dangerous to get out and be on foot in a huge intersection like that.

[@justawhisperintheuniverse8257]

People have no idea how to drive in the snow, ice, rain, or really just in general.

[@sandralorenz1796]

The moment people are told to stay off the roads because of snow and icy conditions, everyone just HAS to go out and see why.

[@sammurphy3343]

The last clip almost looked like an intentional parking attempt lol

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

Lots of examples in this one of vehicles losing traction on snow and ice.

[@daltonmeek9986]

I'd love to see Kabir react to some of Mr.Deified's Caving gone wrong videos

[@b.slocumb7763]

Not all areas plan ahead for ice storms, or they may only salt or brine the major interstates and highways, and sometimes they have to do that repeatedly. Most residential roads would be lucky if they had a truck come through to brine their roads, so most people wouldn’t dare to go out in it.

[@mdf3530]

The reason why it took the cammer so long to brake in that one clip is because of the snow and ice on the road. Possibly worn out tires as well.

[@johnfive2440]

I don't know, I live in a pretty snowy area with a lot of ice and to me it look like the guy wasn't even trying to break until the end

[@sharonann8991]

I really enjoy these car videos. Wish they were longer but I will take what I can get.

[@enigmatic_soul9112]

The second or third one was on Xmas eve ‘22

[@Rick-Rarick]

Never brake like that red car on ice, steer into the spin and hit the gas to get out of a situation like that... driving in the snow is an artform. Ugh, that poor SUV at the 7:40 mark, I doubt they survived that crash, they were crunched under that other semi. They say never get out of your car in a situation like that, but if I were the last car in the line, I would get as far off the road as I could.

[@jenniferrowland1339]

7:49 this year's Seattle ice storm. I'm so glad my boss let me stay home and not drive

During one of my police ride along’s, we were the first car in the left turn lane, and a guy came around the corner and smacked us broadside. He wasn’t drunk he just miss judged the turn he said

[@christianoliver3572]

In Texas when it gets icy the main roads and all the bridges and overpasses will be salted and then they put a layer of sand down as well. But this could never really happen in neighborhoods. There's way too much pavement to do this.

Kabir, you’ve mentioned “handbrakes” in several vids. Only tiny cars in the US have handbrakes. The rest of us have foot-operated parking brakes, which are NEVER used, unless parking on a steep grade. I’ve had many cars that have never had their parking brakes set. 😊

[@keithcharboneau3331]

have you ever driven in the snow? you can not get aggressive with the brakes in the snow, otherwise what happened to the red car, happens to you, driving in the snow requires patience, and a LOT of it, much slower speeds, very easy gas acceleration, very easy brakes, very slow turning, everything has to be done a lot slower when driving on the snow!

[@George-ux6zz]

Were they all British drivers? 🤣🤣

[@kitskivich]

I don't think most people are drunk or impaired in crashes. I see so many people texting, talking to their passengers, or otherwise being distracted. A lot of people are also incredibly entitled when they drive, assuming others will make way for them. It's illogical, but I've seen it in action too many times to discount it. I think the terms blinker and turn signal are interchangeable, but I say the latter.
