When I was a rookie semi driver I had a real bad “how hard can it be?” attitude about winter weather. Losing control on ice got rid of that mindset real quick.

It just happened to me this morning. I drive a semi truck, and was in a I35 in MN. I felt the road was icy, and conditions were bad, but as a trucker you have to adjust the speed and keep going. I am carrying a light load, and I gust of wind caught me, and jackknifed my trailer, lost the control of the truck, and started heading towards the opposite side of the highway. Using the experience, I was able to straighten the truck in the median, but I wasn’t able to avoid hitting the divider railing. I pulled back onto the highway, came off the first exit, and assed the damage. I am just lucky that I was able to steer away from all four wheelers and other semis. Please appreciate the risks truck drivers face each minute on the road to provide for comfort of the rest of the citizens. Stay safe this winter.

It's ridiculous if the boss is out there are sending the drivers out in dangerous conditions because the drivers would be the one dying not the boss. Deadlines can literally be a pain in the neck, so unless the truck is carrying life-saving medicine or something I don't think it's worth risking life for until the roads are salted

These videos take me back to when I was 17 yrs old. We had a really bad winter. The snow was drifting in spots … I didn’t want to drive in it at all. My father told me, “ If you can’t drive in snow, than you don’t have any business driving.” But, I’m aware things happen beyond our control. Remembrance slow down & be safe on any kind of road conditions.

When traveling in bad weather, I keep emergency kit in my trunk. Phone charger, Tire chains, kitty litter, shovel, boards, emergency lights, blankets, food, water, coats, hats,gloves,scarfs,and extra gasoline (only on extreme conditions). I know this sounds extreme, but if you get stuck, your appreciation will be greatly. For the last thirty years, I never go out of the house without my snow cleats. This is very important to have, for anyone working outside, such as police. Golf shoes, football, anything with cleats. Or make your own with rubber tubing, duck tape, etc. then I’ve used little bolts and screws. Good luck and be safe

What a lot of pickup truck owners don't realize or forget (unfortunately) is that many pickups have a traditional 4wd hi/lo setup that defaults to its 2wd mode; thus many are not full time awd and on top of that, there's no weight over the rear wheels if you're not carrying cargo and so the truck becomes very prone to losing control in icy conditions; even if you have off road tires. And this is clearly captured in videos like these.

Usually, their tires are so large and expensive that they don’t put proper winter tires on - and those help enormously. However, many folks who DO install winter tires drive like it’s still summer, and lose that advantage to aggressive driving.

3:25 - Actual footage from "The Slow and The Serious 2: St. Louis Drift." ProTip: If you drive a RWD vehicle on ice, and your back brakes are worn/out of adjustment, your rear wheels will literally push you down the road with your front wheels locked because there's not enough braking force to overcome the power being applied to the wheels. The only way to stop may be to shift to Neutral. Been there, done that.

Are the tires that come on most new cars these days worse in snow than were the original "Tiempo" all season tires? (Tiempo I remember was the first tire advertised as "all season" obviously not as good in snow/ice as "winter tires" or studded tires

really great compilation of winter driving moments! it's impressive to see how people handle such tough conditions. but honestly, i think some of these clips glamorize risky driving behavior a bit too much. sometimes it's better to just stay safe and not push your limits on icy roads, right?

Many don’t have their headlights on. Most are going too fast for conditions. Lots are hitting the brakes when they start to slide, then hit the gas when they think they are straightening out!

Thanks for posting these videos Dan. You used to go to my neck of the woods (394 west of Minneapolis) but you’ve been ignoring us. Actually, with the catastrophic drought we’ve had for the last couple of years it would probably be a wasted trip anyway. I understand why there are many people promoting snow tires here but, after having driven in 46 Minnesota winters, I think all snow tires do is give people a false sense of security and embolden them to drive faster and more carelessly when a lot more caution is called for. I did have a set of snow tires on my 1985 2WD Ranger which I also loaded up with 400lbs. of tube sand, but a 2WD pickup is pretty light. I think the most dangerous part of driving in winter, and it’s something that is seldom mentioned, is changing lanes, especially if the plows haven’t been through. I see more spinouts and crashes by bad Minnesota drivers because they play their passive-aggressive lane-changing games in the snow just like they do in the summer. You have to have good situational awareness and slowly ease into crossing over. When the wheel in front bogs down in the snow ridge between lanes is when the mistakes are made. People get jumpy or panic when the steering wheel takes that nudge and they think they’re losing control. That’s when they overcompensate and spin out. 46 years and it’s the same thing every year. E-a-s-y does it when changing lanes. Take your time, do it right.

Just a tip for everyone. During the winter season, do not use tires with only elongation patterns. Those are the same as if you wanted to get into an accident. The same series includes :All Season tires. Buy tires with M+S and Snowflake markings and 3 mountain peaks.

It appears pickups have more than their share of skids and spin-outs. Maybe more weight over the rear axle would help?? Snow driving is not very much like ice driving and ice is usually less common. Best of luck to all of us out there!!

Yep the ice is no joke! When you drive over ice, It doesn’t matter what kind of vehicle you have - many think because they’re in a pickup truck or suv they’re okay, but once your tires lose traction on the ice, you’re going to slide.

You all may think I'm crazy, but I just LOVE driving in weather like this! I grew up around Chicago, and honed my skills, so I never hit anything, nor went off the road in snow or ice. Back in the 70's, I always drove a Corvair, and usually had snow tires. It was the other idiots on the road that I worried about. Now I'm in Phoenix, so I don't have to worry about it.

I used to love driving in pouring rain in Florida. I’d go “waaaaay tooooo fast” and did great in my FWD car. Got a RWD mustang and totally different story 🤣. Traction control felt weird though. Felt like the car thought I wanted to drift so it drifted but that’s not what I wanted lol

For us here in Florida its been a long time since I've driven in snow 21 years to be exact. But my skills always taught me to drive faster than the posted speed limit especially in hazardous conditions, follow closely, ride your brakes. and turn your wheels the opposite direction than in to the slide.

I've always found the expression "turn into the slide" confusing. In my mind, the direction of the slide is my car's front-end, not the rear-end. In that sense, turning into the slide is the opposite of what I want to do. To me, "turn where you want the car to go" makes more sense than "turn into the slide."

In the Netherlands cops only show up when people are injured or when the road is blocked by the accident. They have better things to do then visit every accident. Everybody has a accident formular/paper in his car and you both fill it in and send it to your assurance company. When the car is wrecked, you need a tow truck.
