[@dede4004]

Thank you. Watching the rear tires, you can see the people have their feet PLANTED on the breaks. When they're supposed to PUMP the breaks, which would help.

I love watching these videos. I learned to drive in upstate New York where snow was just a way of life. I'm not saying I am a perfect driver, in fact I had a snow accident. As long as the wheels turn, the car can turn - I learned that the hard way. Here is one rule for driving in snow that nobody should forget: "Respect the snow, because as soon as you don't, it will give you a dope slap you will never forget"

[@TruAnRksT]

I spent two years in Germany and I learned quite quickly, NEVER lock up your brakes on snow and ice.

[@rastus666]

Once they lock up, you have lost all braking power.

[@sabel9841]

One good tip is when the roads are icy and partially covered with snow is to try to stay ON the snow. It's actually better traction.

[@dancasselli9724]

Cal Crappie true the more snow better traction the snow will either make you stuck or make you drive better but it will not make you slide, that is the ice that will make you slide!

[@ollieburnik3932]

Good tip. I was on a hill that was steep and it was icy so my one friend decided to speed up and then slam on the brakes for a second right before the hill. It didn't work. We smashed into 3 cars before we stopped. He's in jail now because turns out he was kinda drunk when that happened. Lol

You often have to drive on the snow since if you drive on the ice, the bottom of the car will just drag in the snow and if it's deep enough the wheels will just spin in the air.

@@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.

I see it every snowstorm. We had a little teaser storm a couple of days ago. Roads only got bad for a couple of hours right around noon. Heading down the interstate a couple of exits and I come up on .... a Subaru wagon, nose off the road in the snow, rear end sticking into the breakdown lane. DMV truck there and a flat bed. I look to the left and there's a Prius parked way down in the median. I could see the lady moving bags around. She had just gone on one heck of a ride from the northbound lane. Slow down!

When you are a nurse and have other's depending on you, staying home is not an option! Just have to leave home earlier and go slow and steady. One winter's day, No snow in the forecast. My shift was over, left to go home and it had snowed all day without realizing it. Took me 2 hours to what normally took 25 minutes to get home.

[@somebody670]

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!

[@derekcrymble9085]

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 .

We live on a two block street with a deceptive slope that parallels a major artery one block west. Each winter we get at least one icy storm that causes backups on that road so folks will be clever and cut over to our street and immediately run into trouble trying to make that grade. One year we allowed two cars to pull into our driveway for the night

[@exmichigansnowskier8035]

Al Nonymous, a typical pansy wansy crybaby when it comes to winter weather. These snow scenes of vehicles skidding is just child's play compared to elsewhere in the US and the world. Medically speaking for me, being in the heat in southern US and west to Arizona/California is worst I ever would want. 100 degrees is worse than 80 degrees. 135 in Death Valley, California is worse than 125 degrees in Phoenix, Arizona. The hotter temperature in itself, increases more inflammation in the body for a person of having a inflammatory autoimmune disease like my Sarcoidosis I was diagnosed of having in 2002. More inflammation causes more of this inflammatory pain and the risk for a heart attack goes way up too. I know all too much about heat. Last USAF base I was at was Sheppard AFB; Wichita Falls, Texas. That summer 1978 there was 55 days in a row of 100 degrees or more. Twenty of those days were between 110 to 114 degrees. I worked in one area of a factory that was 120 degrees. A food processing company was 125 degrees by July came around.
