Hill Snow Ice Chaos 3

[@faithanddevotion]

I don't know why but I love these videos. I've watched them so many times I feel like this is my home street now LOL. Actually, it could be used as good learning material and also shows people which types of cars handle in certain weather conditions better than others..................how to drive, how not too, how to help people and to know when to just turn around and not endanger yourself or others just trying to get somewhere.................kewl stuff

[@myswedishlife]

No car is better or worse than another car, it is all down to tyres. obviously there will be a difference somewhat between 2wd, awd and 4wd.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Tyres make all the difference. True winter tyres are a massive help in these conditions.

[@ANDREWLEONARDSMITH]

The front wheel drives which make up the majority are the most dangerous & damaging to themselves as flooring it & spinning in this type of drive causes thousands of pounds damage not only to tyres & transmission but damages the steering also as turning the wheel while spinning causes a total loss of control & causes SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE CV JOINTS which are overstressed above what they are designed for as turning the wheel to full lock while spinning will smash & destroy the cv joints as they are not meant to be at full lock while doing the equivalent of 40 mph. Rear wheel drives are much safer & less damaging to themselves as because the wheels are fixed only the tyres & transmission are damaged & are much safer as the steering is not affected.

[@Wigglythegreat2]

I love these videos too.

[@Flyingdutchy33]

Excellent camerawork, great vantage point. Massively enjoyed the entire snow series! Good job!

[@TruckingInTheUK]

+Flyingdutchy33 Thank you :-)

[@Flyingdutchy33]

No problem m8. Ironically there was a lot of snow in the Netherlands today and we got to witness 3 accidents right out front my own place. All of 'm had themselves to thank for it though so we watched from the windowseal with some hot coco. Would've filmed it, but the droplets on the window screwed with the focus. 1 of 'm hit a pole so badly the oil gushed out all over the street. Had to clean that stuff up with my spare aquariumsand. Never got so much as thank you for that one, but meh.

[@garyscandle]

Here's my trick in the USA. I go down the hill in 1st gear coming up I maintain a speed that is best for traction. Going up I will keep it in the highest gear without stalling and drive on the packable snow. Thanks for sharing ✌️✌️

[@ANDREWLEONARDSMITH]

What this country needs are snow vac sweeping machines which are used in the US But in the UK are only found in airports as these are much better & more effective than gritting as the physically remove the snow from the road & collect it leaving a totally clear road behind them There should be at least one of these in every local authority area as they would save a fortune in gritting costs & would do the job INSTANTLY which what is needed.

[@louloufildezinc9041]

Thank you for filming these special moments. Very funny at the end, the old red Ford Escort which makes noise like in a rally but which climbs stubbornly without failing. Fortunately there were no people injured. I hope the man on the scooter got home safely.

[@dougmckenzie680]

Cary 2 gallons of sand in your trunk during winter driving. When you start spinning your wheels, stop, get a scoop of sand and sprinkle in front and behind the drive tires . This will give you the traction you need to get going . This beats putting on chains for short trips .

I’m impressed that so many people are willing to help push. It’s dangerous.

Interesting to that the Jaguar XF just sailed up the hill no problem. I have an elderly S-Type and never had a problem on snow. Light and steady with no wheel spin is the best way in rear wheel drive cars.

The dude on the scooter reminds me of the Beatles' song "fool on the hill". What a nut! Lol!

[@petetandino9945]

Second to last car red ford escort had the right idea, wait for a clear stretch and lots of momentum!!. And tip for front wheel drive is turn round and reverse up hills! All about the weight transfer!!

[@Lightningchase1973]

Not only momentum. If you try to avoid spinning wheels you are lost. Driving 30 kph beeing in 2nd or 3rd gear, with a wheelspin like 70kph is near optimum, you bite uphill efficiently (I have a way steeper 20% grade street up home, no detour possible, and here in Austria we do have snow). That one car did it well... When you are stuck due to traffic, ist also you only can find the little grip you need by biting through the snow (rather high rom's, 2nd gear). If you gain some 20 kph you won. Anyhow it looks like most of the drivers managed their way up. For a that important street (amount of traffic) I am surprised about the amount of snow plows (zero)...

[@petronela910]

Lightningchase1973 UK don't use ploughs very often cos they can tear up the road plus local councils don't want to pay for them because such little snow. Gritters are the best they get. I don't know why people just don't invest in winter tyres

Letting pressure out of your tires only helps in the super deep snow. Wintertires is what all these cars were clearly lacking.

[@dummyspitter1106]

Good video Old Whittington hill, where did that fool on the scooter think they where going .

[@Nooziterp1]

At least she (I think it was a young woman) had a go. Lightweight scooters can be controllable on snow, depending on technique. I know I've been there. Though that one didn't look light.

Winter tyres feature specially designed tread patterns, which perform best when you are driving in cold weather. From seven degrees Celsius and below, these special patterns work together with bespoke rubber compounds to keep motorists on the road. A large number of motorists think that the winter tyre is only useful when driving on snow. But they are sorely mistaken, as there is much more to them than that. The tread pattern is crafted to disperse more water than conventional tyres when driving in the wet, while the compound itself is softer, meaning more grip is generated when it is cold, irrespective of whether it’s dry or not.

[@Wigglythegreat2]

Yeah most people don't want to use them though. Even where I live where we get a lot of snow in ice, people don't want to use them. I have to drive around them and avoid them like an obstacle course. I have an awd and put the winter tires on each year. I used Blizzaks the past two winters and they are really good and before that I used michelin ice x tires and they were good too.

[@Reflection_Wave]

I have never seen snow in my life, but theory of snow I have learnt from many videos. This video is great because all cars try to climb up hill. Road authority should give permission to dive 1000 miles per hour like this season, even pedstain crossing around.

There's a few problems in the UK, a lot of the time as the weather gets worse, so does the intelligence of the drivers. It snows, people drive closer and closer then lock up and can't react when it comes to stopping. This hill looks canny bad though, looks like it's one of the ones that becomes pure ice really quick, which is still a nighmare to drive on for most tyres in the UK.

"No wonder they have so much problems, they're all driving on the wrong side of the road!" - Funny Guy (me, that would be me)

[@chronically.advocating]

This is how people should be helping. Instead of filming the cars are on essentially a zero friction surface so a group of people pushing sideways to get a car to the curb instead of gaining momentum with locked wheels down the hill. I've personally used this trick before. Also for the ones driving especially downhill try to use the curb for traction. For those going up the hill try to stay to the snowpack as snow has more traction than ice, and whatever you do don't spin the tyres. Spinning the tyres creates partial melting which immediately refreezes into glaze ice so you are just messing up traction for everyone behind you. OMG this road down! Everyone needs to go a different route now.

Blarson 12 I didn’t think it snowed in England perhaps more then once or twice a year. 10 times is enough people should know how to drive a little better. I live in the US and we are lucky to see 2 inches a year where I currently live. When it snows it’s hilarious because everything closes and you would think the world was ending from the panic. I moved here from a state that sees 1 or 2 feet in a single snowfall and I just laugh at the hysteria.

[@JP-kb4yi]

Blarson 12 we normally get less then 6 inches for the entire season. This year we have almost doubled that amount. I don’t believe in man made global warming. Our climate is constantly changing and there is ample data to show this. We are currently dealing with a Grand Solar Minimum. If man made climate change were real, we would already all be dead. Or at least that’s what I was taught in school 25 years ago.

Most people try to drive in 1st gear, if yr wheels are slipping put the car in 2nd gear with lower gaspower and mostly you will manage. If you have frontwheel drive, this manner will be better, if you have an automatic use by hand 1st and 2nd gear. If yr car has the power at the backwheels, you have a problem, put on chains.
