[@DonTruman]

It amazes me how so many people who live in snow and ice country don't know how to drive on snow and ice. 1. SLOW DOWN! 2. If you start sliding, do not stand on the brakes. As seen in this video, there are many cars with brake lights on and wheels locked up. If the wheels are allowed to roll they at least stand a chance of regaining traction. 3. EASY on the accelerator when trying to get rolling again. Spinning the tires faster and faster does not provide motion--just the opposite.

[@curiousgeorge1940]

Locking up the brakes, turns the wheels into a pair of skis ! No steering - no stopping power.

[@reallyjustrandom1230]

Yep. and don't forget when you start to slid turn the car in the same direction as the rear is going.

[@NightCrawler810]

When the whole road is ice good luck with all you think you know, the best thing is to stay home, or atleast have salt or kitty litter, plus weight in your truck or truck bed, decent tires front and back, deflate tires, have chains ⛓️ etc.. but in this video 📹 👀 you're lucky to escape death or injuries

[@DonTruman]

@NightCrawler810 Agreed, best to stay off the road, but often it's a difficult call. Weather can change; highway reports can be wrong or incomplete; and in some parts of the country roads are covered with snowpack/ice for months at a time. So unless you're going to stay home most of the winter you need good technology and driving skills. I was an over the road trucker for many years, hauling hazmat tankers. Drove about a million miles across the entire US and Canada.

[@PatG-xd8qn]

Also, if you live in a place that gets snow and ice, get winter tires. Winter tires are far more performant on icy conditions than summer or all season tires.

[@PatG-xd8qn]

@@TTVToxic-yu5ov The coefficient of friction on the road is also very important. Braking from 40 mph to 0 on snow or ice with winter tires is not comparable than doing the same thing with summer or all season tires And no, all season tires with "mud and snow" written on it isn't an actual set of winter tires.

The problem is the 4x4 / AWD vehicles have the same stopping power on ice as a regular vehicle: None.

Not when done correctly. Even a CVT can keep the wheels connected to the engine if you use "paddle shifting".

@ on ice? I doubt it. The average driver, myself included, is not a millionaire or weekend racer with access to paddle shifters or use them proficiently.

@Limewire1984 paddle shifting is in quotes because a cvt doesn't necessarily use paddles. Slap stick shifting works the same in the drive train.

I can give one piece of advice after living in an icy place for 30 years. Get your foot off the brake once you start sliding or spinning. Your wheels have to be in motion in order to finally grip the pavement. Tap them if you must, but never keep your foot on the pedal as you will continue to slide.

[@vote4carp]

[@movik444]

Which shows that adapting a tire or adapting driving in the event of a change in the weather is always a good idea.

[@siruLLii]

Do you have winter tires? Have you ever heard of such a thing? Maybe you should sprinkle salt in certain places, like the bridge, to prevent black ice.

[@weeardguy]

Salt isn't the answer for all these situations. At first, temperatures should not be too low. At least, here in The Netherlands, where situations as in the video are rather rare but do happen once in a while, wet-brine is used (wetting it makes it stick way better to the road surface and already-present snow). This only works to about -8 degrees Celsius. Lower will make it useless as it freezes up just as good as normal water. Than there is wind: if the winds are up (and you don't need that much) it can easily blow salt away from the places where you want it. The third part is that it needs to be driven over to push it into already fallen snow for it to work good. In 2021, a blizzard hit The Netherlands (and blizzards are very rare here) during the night. Wet-brine was sprayed everywhere in my city in advance, but due to the high winds (force 8 and 9) most of it was blown away. The (short-lived) curfew that was in place at the time due to covid didn't help, but conditions were so bad that I doubt many more drivers would have gone out of their home otherwise. The result was that for a few days, many roads, especially those in residential areas, where covered in snow and ice, the latter by the few vehicles that did squash it into ice.

[@PatG-xd8qn]

​​@@weeardguy I live in Canada and salt works even when it's -30 degrees. The negative points of salt is that it's expensive and bad for lakes and rivers...

[@midnightkitty8172]

There are some pretty good - looking Winter tires available now; I saw a set with cleats on them recently, and I wonder how they are in terms of maintaining traction?

[@GuntherBolte]

You'll be amazed. I felt happy when I first could afford a set and later had to drive out after parking in 7 inches of snow. In deeper snow the car rests on its belly and the tyres rotate in the air = no traction. Beware of deeply rutted roads.

i hope the Camaro owner sees this and sees my comment. Street tires in Snow? Were you born yesterday? Come on guys you live in these regions and you havent figured things out yet? If you see ice on your vehicle , you should also see chains. Period. maybe i need to move out there and start a class on cold weather driving. However I am a nice guy so here are some tips. First, speed is not key in snow, drop it to low or to 1, and gently ease on the gas, let the torque free you, speed will only bury you. Second, go to home depot or any place sells bags of sand or cat liter both do amazing but my preference is cat liter because it does have rock and sand great for traction whereas plain sand once in the groove of the tires will shoot out like mud. third invest in a shovel. however never never never leave the house with just a shovel remember you still need traction. lastly and I love it I just recently discovered it but traction boards, inexpensive, no digging or anything required. just be certain you know if its front wheel or rear wheel drive, doesnt help if the tires still spin .

[@maxwedge5683]

Many of these videos are shot from drones. Good footage. The best way to learn how to drive on ice or snow is to go to a snow covered parking lot and see how a car handles. Try your best to break traction and learn from how the car reacts. Just watch for the curbs and light poles.
