[@rainbowofficial7824]

Yep same here

[@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.

[@TechneMoira]

I love this kind of video... I know it sounds like gloating, but in fact it reminds me in a funny way of the anticipation and yearning we all feel in the middle of a snow storm to "get home" and enjoy it all with a hot cup of coco in the hand :)

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.

Well he's got proper mountain bike tyres on his bike. He'll be fine if he goes slow and doesn't try to turn the front wheel sharply.

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.

[@21jg130]

Another great video .....and shows the 100% chaos when people drive in unprepared cars ,

[@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 .

[@davidrobert2007]

As I always say "just let a bit of pressure out of your tyres" lol. Great vid, especially that old Escort estate at the end - that was pure class!. Cheers.

[@olli810]

and you see.. the old Escort makes it with no problem.. cause it is much more lighter than the new and too heavy cars with their overloaded control systems.. lol

[@Flyingdutchy33]

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

[@mkilner]

[@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

[@arwelroberts2123]

It never ceases to amaze me, the stupidity of these drivers, I know we don't see snow very often in this country but this is really bad. The blokes almost fighting in the street and they aren't even driving. Thanks for sharing your vids with us, I enjoyed the last one you put up as well

[@ChrisCollins01]

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.

[@martinphilip8998]

24 inches forecast here this week! I can hardly wait. My Subaru Forester does pretty well in this stuff. 4 wheel drive must be more common in the states. I’m impressed that so many people are willing to help push. It’s dangerous. Here’s what you get for it, a grateful wave from someone who’ll get stuck a minute later while you lie there with a compound fracture. 🤣

[@ziiofswe]

"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)

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.

[@glennacrabtree7788]

It's ironic that all those people are in line to come up the hill and take their shot at getting stuck.

[@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.

[@steveanderson461]

[@muldix]

[@walter777smith6]

That's not even a snow . But people doesn't know what is a winter tires !!!

[@Reflection_Wave_2023]

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.

[@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.

[@pagantruckie]

Sitting here in a nice warm Aussie summer laughing myself silly.

[@AlienFreak69]

I think half the people in the comments have never even driven a car. If you look closely, you'll notice most cars are using winter tires. I can't read the labels but I can tell from the design. Unfortunately winter tires don't make you immune to sliding. A couple of people suggested using snow chains. Chains would actually reduce traction. They are not for ice/slippery road. Chains are for snow. These drivers just needed to get a good momentum going and then maintain it. That's not always easy to do especially if your car starts sliding sideways and you don't correct it properly (also hard to do). The prime example of a correct climb was done by the last guy around 24:00. He maintained momentum and reached the top.

[@rrrohan2288]

if snow is that bad just stay at home. or just take a uber. that way if they crash its not your problem and u just walk a block to a road not covered in ice.

[@justdoingitjim7095]

What gets me is when they finally get it moving they let off the gas and stop, roll backwards and then hit the gas again. That's why they stayed stuck so long!

[@ANDREWLEONARDSMITH]

In this video I counted 16 offences of dangerous driving by persistently spinning wheels which the authorities should take more seriously to add insult to injury a police vehicle was seen going downhill with blue lights on but TOTALLY IGNORING the dangerous driving offences going on all around them.Also there was a near riot when tempers flared in the madness. Why do the authorities allow this serious public disorder to happen?

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 SW MO on the MO, OK, KS border

[@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.
