Good job on the truck that stayed at the top of the hill with the flashers on until the first vehicle finally made it out of there. That's what we need more of on the roads - patience.

[@ethanh6370]

When I was a kid we lived next to a busy highway in Idaho, with a river immediately on the other side of the highway. One cold winter morning the sharp curve near us was solid black ice. After one vehicle went off the road entirely, nearly ending up in the river, we spent the morning by the road trying to slow people down. I don't think anyone paid attention to us. One other car went off the road that day, and several others hit the guard rail on the other side. It took the highway patrol 45 minutes to arrive.

Always use winter tires in cold. Go slow on ice and snow. Use high gear uphill, low gear downhill. Don't brake or throttle aggressively. If you need to brake think of engine braking by lowering the gear. If you slide try this to regain control: Let go of the pedals. Turn the wheel in the direction you're sliding, that is, try to align the wheels with the direction the car is actually sliding -- not where you want it to go.

A couple of tips that may help on a road such as that: ->Use momentum & never apply the brakes. ->Lower your tire pressure (increases contact with road thus slightly better traction) ->Drive in the centre of the road (roads here in the UK are cambered slightly on each side so water does not set), less chance you will roll to the side as the 'hump' of the roads will protect you. ->On a hill & your car is FWD: reversing up the can help you. ->If FWD or AWD and you're starting to lose grip, do not turn the wheels further, turn the wheels back and step on the gas. ->Think: It should be pretty straight forward to drive up that hill with one wheel on the pavement (sidewalk), there is unset snow there so there will be more traction! Peace!

[@akadrunkrussian]

thats what I did in similar situation! even tho I had set of all 4 chains in the trunk I just drove up the sidewalk at the bottom of the hill so 1 set of wheels was on the sidewalk and another set got some grip on the grass

[@mobmob5944]

Turn the wheels back? And step on the gas? As in turn the rim wheel in reverse? Or turn the the steering wheel till you are facing back where you came from? Or turn your wheels 360? Like a shopping cart back? And step on it ? As in step on the asphalt? Not on the gas or brake pedal right? Other then that last sentence you did alright

[@happytrails5342]

Um, I don't know if you have tested these very much, but I will tell you 2wd is 2wd, and if you are going up a hill , straight, backwards or forwards you won't do so how. Fwd and and cannot be used in the same sentence methodology wise but your not completely wrong. Not turning your wheels is a great tip, but only occasionally on pressing the gas, in a fwd, it is better to let off and apply the breaks sometimes in an offbeat pattern. You also , when sliding in a fwd will push through a corner, so make sure to let off the gas and that let's the wheel grab a little, you can also cut power to the wheels by knocking the shift lever up (if it is on the steering column), into neutral. Practice with that makes perfect and has saved me a couple times. As for AWD scenario, letting off the gas and then reversing straight is a good tip. The serious downfall to AWD is the unequal distribution of power in comparison to 4wd, If one wheel is slipping the car may give 60% power to that wheel while 4wd maintains a 25% powere ratio to each wheel. This however comes at a cost when you are on dry pavement then snow and back again, as it is hard on components and tire tread. I digress, Just wanted to throw that in there

That last driver nailed it. Depending on how long the hill is the only way you're going to get up it is to carry a head of steam into it or you'll just spin out about half way up and slide back down. So gun it and go is the method.

[@yangsrealm2536]

Yes, but that advice should also be heeded with caution. If you “gun it” on a slippery surface like this you’re leaving a lot up to chance. And that could potentially result painfully. Without studded tires, you don’t have a lot of control on ice which is dangerous when you’re in a 2 ton vehicle capable of 100+ MPH. To counter this, you’d just drive slower. It’s much safer, and you can actually stay in control of the wheel. But if you can’t make it up a hill then you have two options. Turn around, or full speed ahead. There is a reason some folks would rather turn around.

Car going down wasn’t afraid of a bit of speed and didn’t hammer on the brakes. First truck was very slow and was fine. SUV going up had to accelerate up because they were going to slow to make it up on momentum alone. Last truck decelerated too hard... front wheels gripped... back ones with no weight didn’t.

These videos of "skating" are always fun to watch because the same thing is not seen here. Driving on slippery consists of three things a) Winter tires (Studded or not both works. Studded better on slick ice) b) Adjusting speed according to conditions c) Driving skills in snowy and icy conditions. Driving in winter conditions cannot be learned from the youtube video. It must be practiced for example on a closed (Ice)track. In Finland (In North Europe) winter tires are mandatory. If you do not have them you will get fines. In addition, training on the winter conditions (on the track) is also mandatory in order to get a driving license.

Yep, get a running start and then if you can drive at all, you will make it. When my brother and his wife moved to Arizona , he got up and ready for work. He noticed a little bit of snow and ice. No problem. He is a doctor and they had the roads shut down. They let him get through. His wife has a Camaro and see headed out to work. The police had the road shut down. She stopped and ask why. They tried telling her that she wasn’t allowed on the road and especially in that car. She tried telling them where she was from and we were used to driving on ice. They wouldn’t let her. She got back home and called me and explained it to me. We just laughed because we can drive on the ice. When I started driving, well years ago, all we had was rear wheel driven vehicles. Once you learn that and have plenty of hills to either get up or down, you just learn.

[@Shteven]

We moved from AZ to OR and were quite upset when we learned that our Honda CRV was not AWD, apparently if you get one in AZ or CA it's the "Desert package" and are the only two places that sell CRV's not AWD. Can't blame the cops, people don't know how to drive in the rain in AZ let alone ice, there were probably already a handful of accidents up ahead as it was.

Bit late to reply maybe, but the key is not to slam the brakes to lock the wheels up but instead gradually apply them in order to slow down on slippery surface. Best is as well to remain slow to begin with. Some think they can easily do summer-time speeds on these icy roads.

The most difficult thing about negotiating a slide is that you must resist the urge to brake. If you're already sliding and you step on the brake, the only thing that will accomplish is making the slide worse. It's not intuitive, but it's extremely important.

[@koimeister530]

It's not that hard, if you have a manual transmission, then you step on the clutch pedal and carefully moving the wheel in opposite direction until the grip comes back.

As a MN driver I cried a bit watching these people except for the silver car at the end hahah I liked that. When it gets icy I have a huge hill to go up on my way home from work and it pisses me off if I got someone in front of me taking it slow. The trick is momentum and having the right tires

[@iCazZiStronZi]

The silver car is the only guy who knew how to drive in snow and ice. You have to be somewhat crazy, get momentum and just floor the gas until you get up the hill hopefully still facing the right way and control the slide as much as possible. He looked like he had no control yet he is the only one who went up perfectly in one shot and in the least capable vehicle with absolutely no issues. The white SantaFe (SUV) stopped half way up and lost all momentum and could not continue up the hill sliding backwards towards the sidewalk, sometimes doing that is even more dangerous because you will start sliding backwards picking up speed totally out of control and slam into another car, tree, pole, wall or even a person. You need to have guts to do these things because sliding is pretty scary for inexperienced people. Or properly plan a safer route and don’t try it if you are absolutely not confident in your driving skills.

[@mylesm444]

100%. some people in the comments say he's driving recklessly but anyone whos ever gotten up an icey hill like this knows its a game of momentum and thus some recklessnsess is needed. well said buddy.

[@BeingMe23]

MOST people drive too slow on icy conditions. If you go slow you lose momentum. I can say this because I have driven a semi truck in over 23 winters on snow and black ice. It's all about speed and gearing. It takes patience and alot skill to drive on it. Okay a little secret drive on the shoulder were the loose gravel has been tossed from the road and snow is deeper.

[@johnobrien2207]

enough speed to clear the hill.

[@jaredmontgomery1920]

It's always so hard to predict which vehicles will perform well in videos like this. Seems like good tires and traction/stability control go a long way, no matter what kind of car it is

[@marksinger2360]

I once crawled steadily up a hill on a six-lane highway at no more than 10 mph in a 1988 Hyundai Excel with no traction control while everyone else was sliding back down the hill around me. It helps to not spin your tires in an attempt to "burn through" the ice.

[@kamtorz]

if you ever start slipping turn ur wheel left and right slowly as u go up a hill, this gives you horizontal traction and slowly but surly you can work your way out of it. Also having winter tires helps, Didn't look like anyone but the truck and that silver car had winters. While driving in winter you need confidence not cockiness. Practice in snow parking lots to help with your familiarity. Growing up in Vermont where there's no flat land at all and just hills and mountains I learned very quickly how to drive in snow. Now that I live in PA and no-one can drive on snow cause they aren't used to it, (where I live) im just trotting down the road like its nothin. Its all about familiarity and your ability to drive in snow. It is honestly talent and skill many people don't possess. Glad it comes easy to me. Good luck winter drivers!

What are the regulations on using winter tires on your area? This kind of a hill would be nothing with proper tires, so it's a bit amusing to watch cars slipping and sliding all over the place. Here in Finland it's mandatory to use winter tires between Dec-Feb and most of us start using them already in Nov and continue till Mar/Apr depending on conditions. Basically all car owners have two sets of wheels for this.

[@lifesucks3835]

Really here we get a lot of snow but people either use all seasons. Or all seasons with an awd suv

There hits a point where winter tires won’t save you. It’s a sheet of black ice unfortunately, which means that there isn’t too much you can do. In wintery areas a lot of us in the US use winter tires. I have them on in November in Michigan since I drive a small car. They’re great for snow, but black ice is a different story. And unfortunately no one services the roads properly so we sort of just have to deal with it.
