Ridiculously icy hill

- This was near North Seattle WA on January 1st around 9am.
This hill was covered in black ice and I happened to total my car. So, while waiting for a ride, I documented how icy this hill was. Most cars besides mine had trouble and several others ended up on the side of the road as well; I believe there was 2-4 in ditches or unable to drive.
I do not drive the Prius, but a car off camera, despite many comments believing such.
I saw very few cars get down or up successfully without sliding around at least a little, and in most cases a lot.
Also, all of you that are trying to blame me for not warning people or putting salt down are stupid, so just stop posting that. If it makes you sleep better at night, I DID call the police and inform them of the road condition. Shortly after this, the road was salted.
I have a 2nd quicker video that shows my car.

If you see a guy at the bottom of a hill holding a camera, on a cold day, just stop and turn around
That's definitely a wise idea! 😁
That is very good advice.
joshua dugas I know here in indiana it doesn’t matter how much you treat a road with salt and that stuff it will usually ice over in the morning just with light snow. Midwest winters are no joke
you are funny; good laugh reading your comment
Wow.. nice Logic
LOL even the shopping cart couldnt make it
Lol I SAW THAT LOL
Bruh 😆
MATSUN_THE_GOD BG what about that Prius?
Underrated comment
Maybe the cameraman was using it
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.
I’m impressed at the guy in the f-150. It takes a smart person to know what they can handle. He knew he might not make it just decided not to attempt it.
lordy I wish we had those drivers in my town, the drivers here are absolute garbage
1:55 ... "is totally out the control."
Goes down hill without issue.
Luck
Good set of winter tires and some actual momentum before you hit the slope and it aint that hard anymore...
Slope aint even that steep nor long., there is no actual corner with ice in it., its pretty simple to go trough that even in normal cars.
Try tight mountain roads when ice hits...

The cameraman was salty that he wasn’t totally correct.
@@mutestingray yer i noticed that to lol. **Its not always impossible just cause you cant do it**
Hope the person driving the shopping cart was okay...
He was airlifted in a medivac but was pronounced DOA after he tried to prevent the cart from slipping away and was crushed under the weight when the cart ran him over.
@Daniel Kintigh, and do WHAT exactly? Stand in the middle of the road, waiving his arms? The car in the ditch with the hazards on is enough signal of dangerous conditions. Also-- the ice is everywhere, not just this one hill.
Erick Washington ...man I am rolling on the floor laughing....Yes I too was worried about the shopping cart person!
Erick Washington hahahahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
That’s a terrible feeling when the car doesn’t respond.
Me: Go left
Car: I go right.
The car is functioning just fine, but the tires aren’t gripping the ground at all, that’s the issue. If any of these people had studded winter tires or even light chains this would have been no problem.
@@CadgerChristmasLightShow -
Studded tires do help on black ice, an issue we see here much too often. They can also cause issues on regular pavement. Without a rubber contact patch gripping the road, studded tires can be as slick as black ice. I haven’t used chains for decades.
Snow is a problem, but ice and black ice is deadly. Stay home if possible.
I’m 18 and I totaled my car on Tuesday. I was turning on an on ramp and my car slid and hit the curb.
@@MarioPerez-qv2pz it happens to most of us. My friend totaled his car going 5mph into a tree. First day of license.
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.
Shoutout to that truck that waited patiently for dude to finish spinning like a Mario kart turtle shell.
Dayday 😂
@@saiyangoddess6413 he had very good patience with the situation nice job on the poise
Lmao
LOL
nothing else you can do in that situation. it would be a major dick move for him to get impatient with him considering he's literally sliding around on ice, so most drivers will understand and be like "yeah, take your time dont crash"
The feeling of sliding while driving is one of the most terrifying feelings in the world. Especially when there are cars around you.
Yes, I never drive in the snow/icy conditions and haven’t done so for about ten years after getting stuck in ice. I’ve always had a BMW but they’re the worst in the snow/ice. I know you can get winter tyres but here in southern England we really don’t get enough of that sort of weather to warrant it.
Totally agree to that
Well when it’s a controlled slide you did on purpose that’s different but unexpected uncontrolled sliding scary asf
Unless your an experienced driver and then you proudly except the challenge and gracefully use your skills to correct the slide and prove yourself to not be a moron driver.
@@janheard3826 well how do you get out of the house like to go to work or go grocery shopping when it’s snowing or icing
Ah yes, Seattle. The city where everyone uses summer tires year round, there's not a lick of gravel or salt on the road, and it rains almost every day except for the days that it snows.
lol it doesn't rain that much. This whole summer was pretty much almost dry. Sounds like we might get a bunch of snow this year.
Drive thru 2 feet of snow to get to seattle, no issues, get to Seattle it snowed 1/2 inch the city is shut down..🤦♂️
@@Bendigo1 new york just got 2 feet from the west

I live in northern NH a full 5 mths of winter !!
It's new Studded Snow tires every year on my Nissan Rogue AWD, and Never a problem !! 👍
Heavy snow, light snow, Ice storms, Icy rain, Sleet, Sub-zero temps, it's all good ! 🌨😃❄
Apparently everybody did the right thing except you
Big Rob lol I feel like there’s a lesson attached to this video.
“A nice heavy duty truck”
Interesting way to describe a Tacoma.
Better than saying a Ford super duty 🤣
Remember, this is coming from a Prius owner.
AHAHA
I was thinking the same thing 😂 🤔
With "big wheels" no less 🤣
(Car goes an inch to the right)
Guy: "This sedan is totally out of control, here." LOL
Perhaps he meant the tires were spinning?
😂😂😂
LMFAO 😂😂😂😂
LMAO
I was going to say the same but you beat me to it by 10 months.
It's good to see that a small percentage of the drivers understand momentum, oversteer, understeer, and the grip of shitty tires on ice.
that shopping cart never made it up, sitting on the side of the road like the prius
nathan koroush: I hope the driver of the shopping cart is ok. He probably rolled it a few times ending up in the ditch on it's side.
Good day! You mast live some time in Russia! So ise we have every week! The driver can go left or right of road, here have snow and no ice. Good luck to drivers on the road!!!!!

if you want to enjoy tthe video ... MUTE IT!!!!!
thanks
The Prius driver is upset that 3 watts of power got wasted on wheel spin.
He'll just plug it into his recharge station where it gets recharged from power that a coal power plant produces.... and continue to live a life of stupidity thinking he's living green.
uhm.. that prius can not be plugged in. The engine in the front, produces power from gas. Hybrid.. not electric.
"Toyota Pious".
Cory you’re thinking of Tesla’s
Cory You have no life... PRIUS FTW!!!
You dumb jerks need to stop being stupid haters...
So slippery even the shopping cart spun out and crashed
Its the local homeless man he wiped out there lmao
funny! xD
Bubbles is unconscious in the ditch out of frame.
That cart is the Prius only spare tire
Almost spit my milk out
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.
This is bad tip. You need to counter steer
"This sedan is totally out of control" Sedan drives by never spinning a wheel
Exactly !
Thats how Prius drivers are. He called a little Tacoma a heavy duty truck with big wheels lmfao
You guys missed the Adult Video store on the side. He went to the store but forgot that he left the tracker on the phone. He filmed this so he could have an excuse for the wife :-) A little sedan made it up w/o trouble, so it was just a tad icy.
@@Dragonstorm1557GAMING Bruh, that's not even his car.
When the shopping carts are sliding off the road, it's best to stay home
The information I've gathered from this video is that Priuses and shopping carts will perform terribly in these conditions.
What I gathered from this video is that it's more important to video people who may wreck their vehicles and get hurt than it is to make some sort of attempt to inform drivers that just up ahead is an extremely icy roadway. And we do this by blaming the drivers that they should know better or be a better driver or or or or. Always can find a way to try to make someone else look bad so they can look better. Got to love people.
@@georgehouston6327 ... If it isn't obvious to a driver that the road is icey....then they should not be driving!!🙄
@Peder Hansen Winter tires won't help at all here. Winter tires are snow tires. Not ice tires. Only thing that will help on ice are studs or chains which most places make illegal on pu lic roads because they can tear up the roads so bad.
@@Luckingsworth
Wrong! Winter tires are softer compound and get better grip on snow AND ice.Down side to them is they don't last long driving in the spring and summer or even fall.i run 2 sets of tires in northern Wisconsin,all season radials spring,summer,fall and winter tires Nov through March
@@Luckingsworth that's wrong. Winter tires do significantly better on ice than summer tires. Not as good as studs or chains. But snow tires don't make any extra noise or damage the road or your car. Just be sure to switch them out like Rob said since they were out quickly
The car that made it up the hill knows how to drive
Or had great snow tires
@@Sweetheartbabez bit of both
Driver, too.
Just needed a run up. Don't stop on an icy slope
the last guy is what you call experienced driver, allowing the momentum of the car to get you up the hill.
and stay on low gear! Don’t get the stick to 1st or 2nd
@@hansludwig4732 WRONG!
Just a little bit of education in PHYSICS and you would KNOW that a mass (the vehicle) will continue in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. So get it going at a good speed AND stay at that speed, DO NOT try to accelerate or brake, DO NOT turn the steering wheel... and unless you hit something on the road (chunk of ice or pothole) your car will continue in a straight line up the hill. Of course, if something gets in your way, you're going to hit it.
@@rae0521 he didn't go in a straight line
@@ABearWithHats
Then something acted upon the vehicle to change it's course.
Newton's First Law:
" 1. A body remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, unless acted upon by a force."
Totally out of control and totally going to kill it,,ya, this guy was totally the driver of the shopping cart..
First car: “This little hill looks icy, maybe I should slow down and lose all my momentum so I can get up it.”
LNxTCB they couldn't steer :L
Idk if you noticed but there was zero traction
Its a double edged sword, if you get at the hill with speed youll have the momentum to get over it but not the ability to turn or stop which is more dangerous. Everyone who drives knows that the faster you go the greater risk of accident (Anon).
That’s a lot better than “this hill looks icy, let’s just gun it and hope for the best”
with other cars I wouldn't go fast up that hill . Heck I wouldn't even be driving in those conditions !!!
Going uphill you will naturally stop
Going straight you will naturally continue going straight
You guys would suck at driving in Vermont.
As the last car showed, going uphill on slippery roads is all about momentum. Gain enough speed to make it up and keep going. Once you stop, you're stuck.
Also not having forward wheel drive on an suv helps
Its all about the tires....ill take my altima with snow tires over 4wd on crap tires any day
local lake has a steep ass boat launch, saw some guys trying to push an audi (wtf did they bring that onto a frozen lake for??) up it after ice fishing, after about 5 min they gave up to let me pass... I started from about 50 yards out and built up as much speed as I could, made it up just fine.... I could see them starting to back way up after that as I left 😂
"Totally out of control"?!?! Every prediction you made in this video was dead wrong!
LOL!!!
(Told you)!! oh wait not yet... Never mind...
❄️❄️❄️
Totally a bad driver in the prius. Probably same guy who shot video
Exactly my thought
"This car is out of controll. I'll stand right at the bottom of the hill. The curb will save me"
guy walking is just like "another day in the neighborhood"
Notice how every time they hit their brakes they slide? The tires need to be moving in order to get the best traction.
Yes but sliding isn't helping their case either.
Absolutely correct if the tires are locked you're just going to slide on ice the wheels have to be rolling in order to have any control on ice.
So much for ABS.
Sedan veers a little bit to the right, then corrects itself...
“This sedan is TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL, here”
The guy going fast was the smart one. You need momentum. And he wasn't sliding around at all. Probably has good tires and knows how to drive in the winter.
No its called he got lucky.
I got stuck on the hill to my house tonight, backed down tried the other less steep hill, still got stuck. So I turned around and started down street, got to about 40mph and made it up. Momentum is key. Lol
Yup until there’s a pile up of cars and everyone blames you for driving too fast for the terrible conditions, just stay home if you got no reason or real emergency to be out
@@Dmax734 My job forced me to go and then sent me home early. I'll probably have to do the same thing again, unless my town actually decides to plow.
@@Dmax734 bullshit. I've been driving a truck in the Colorado/utah mountains for 10 years years. I think I can handle it. No accidents and I drive over wolf creek pass 4 times a week. You don't slow down going uphill in the snow you dolt. That's how you cause accidents. Take your time going down, but uphill is different. I'm not saying haul ass, but you have to keep your momentum
Plot twist:
Car at 2:54 going uphill, with his dedicated winter tires, muttering “morons” as he passes everyone effortlessly including the cameraman.
Smart truck driver at the beginning waiting up hill instead of continuing he's road and possibly crash into the white suv 👏
I don't know why, but this is just so interesting to watch how all of these different people react to the situation...
Ikr
i like the fact in these ice videos, there's always the sliding 4x4 off-road worthy SUV followed by a random front wheel drive sedan just driving by like nothing's wrong.
Yep. It's always so ironic seeing a big SUV fail to go up, but something like a little sedan got up without any issue at all.
It's because SUV drivers don't know how to drive. They put all their faith in their fancy "AWD" systems, rear-view cameras, automatic lane assist, blind spot moniters and of course, their infotainment screens filled with useless technology to compensate for their shit driving.
A good driver should be able to go up that hill with a rear-wheel drive sedan with summer tires.
But still, put your winter tires on.
op3l mm
Having driven both, I'd put my money on a sub-compact with winter tires over a random SUV with all-weathers any day.
Nope not upset just laughing at you and your jealousy.
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.
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.
@@yangsrealm2536 Momentum is everything in this situation.
the stable camera hold is very good, I only felt nauseous 3 times
Great! That was the whole goal to keep it as stable as possible
"Here comes a nice heavy duty truck". Makes me rethink my purchase of my 3500 Cummins. Should've went with the Tacoma.
EVAN BOYD lol the liberals they don't know a damn thing

I drive a taco and fucking laughed like hell when he said heavy duty. Literally paused it and squinted my eyes and died. Lord I’m comin’ home early lmao
Cody Abney I got a Tacoma too and got a good laugh outta it.
Fits a 60 inch TV = heavy duty 😂
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!
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
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
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
@@akadrunkrussian I am surprised you gripped on the grass lol

2021!
“This cars going so fast” well ya hes smarter then the rest of them you need momentum to make it up
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.
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.
The car at the end was the only one that used momentum to get up the hill.
Watch again and listen as it passes by, it has studded tires, that is why it made it up.
Why physics is important.
Yup. Along with the appropriate tires and FWD.
@@Joshua79C those don’t sound like studs, they are some type of tire chains. Probably cable chains or those funky plastic chains. Studs made more of a clicking sound and a higher frequency.

“Luckily, they aren’t going to have as bad of issues as I am.”
Yes, this guy definitely drives the Prius. He is saying he has issues referring to being stuck in the snow. The Prius appears to be the car that is stuck in the snow. He is the Prius’ driver.
You could also tell because he called a Toyota Tacoma a heavy duty truck.
I think he said he drives it
Pronounced “priss “
I actually drive a Prius C (smaller than the one in the video) and have never had issues in the snow. I don't imagine I'd be busting through snowdrifts or anything, but the TC system on the Prius will find traction if there is any to be had. I would've probably taken the left side of the road on this one and had my left side tires get some grip in the rougher ice/sleet along the curb.
From a northern Canadian residents perspective this is pretty funny. Summer/all seasons tires work okay in snow until they meet ice, or slush.
In the far north it usually gets cold and stays cold. Also, there's usually not a lot of snow. When I lived in Whitehorse, only the main streets were plowed... all the side streets were left as they were... they were rock solid to drive on and not slippery at all. Also, when it was really cold, no one turned their engines off until they got home. Car theft was unknown... where the hell are you going to go?
When you buy an " off road suv" then realize it's only fwd lol
Ikr fwd is super mainstream!!!good handing but not on snow.rwd more better road grip and handling. awd all the above xD
Yep that's the way most suvs have gone. No more body on frame suvs except jeeps and 4runners. Even the pathginder is a fwd crossover now
Are you saying that RWD is better than FWD in the snow?
He did say that, I'm guessing he's an idiot or at least definitely does he not own a driver's licence.
+Thundercrack The old FWD's (pre-2000's) _were_ better in the snow, but the new ones suck ass. Early FWD's had up to 80% of their weight on the front giving them awesome snow traction, but that also left them open to spinning out in corners a lot. They balanced the new ones out more for better handling so now they get stuck in snow very easy. Especially with those shitty modern "low profile" tires. I'd put a heavy RWD sedan up against any new FWD, especially with 200# of sand in the back.
Hahaha... that large heavy duty truck is a mid size Toyota Tacoma

Going up - momentum is your friend
Down - patience 👍🏻
Not sure if it snows enough there that anyone does it, but running winter tires in the winter does wonders.
"this guy is totaly out of control" car slid maybe 1/4" "he slid all around, but he made it up" this guy wouldn't make it in the midwest
He said “I hope” which tbh is psychotic af lmaoo
Ice is simple as long as you don’t try to accelerate, slow down, or change direction. Last car... straight road up a hill carrying plenty of momentum... didn’t have to turn, brake, or accelerate. 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. Pro tip: If you drive FWD vehicle backwards up the hill... you’ll climb better than pretty much any other type of vehicle.
It did go around the Prius, which would have put it in a spin but this person had winter tires. Makes all the difference.
Pro tip? Yea right. A pro would surely go driving on a public road in reverse even for two seconds. If you’re actually a pro and driving your personal vehicle then you would obviously load up some weight in the back before hitting the road in these conditions. Clearly your comment is based on the weight over the drive tires.. but an actual professional driver wouldn’t for one second risk a retarded ticket over driving backward on a public road. Get real.
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.
Wheels size doesn’t matter, it’s the type of tires that is meant for use in ice and snow not the all season type. You have invested a good deal of money on a vehicle only to get stuck on an icy hill, invest in a set (4) of snow tires preferably with studs if you live in areas where snow and ice is predominant. SLOW DOWN, if you want to hurt yourself do not involve others!
Not strictly true. The wider the tire, the more traction. Fact.
@@BaldMancTwat It's also a fact that a 165 studded winter tire will have better traction up that hill than a 355 summer tire.
@@johanstensrud4018 Even a bike with a winter tire will have better traction than any summer tire :D
I'm pretty sure lifted vehicles in general will have a harder time aswell.
winter tires matter more, but tire size does matter. more surface area, more traction.
Poor Prius...
(said no one ever)
CarCat t prius owned by a typical prius driver with 0 knowledge about driving in slick conditions.
CarCat 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
fucking prius drivers
There isn't a Prius in this video
Dude I think the guy recording owns that Prius. Filming coz he dident make it
Last car slides through like a straight boss.
Been in these conditions before many times. And because I had winter tires, I only slid a little and was able to get traction and keep going. Worth every penny.
Watching people try to drive over that road would quickly become my new hobby
And I got to watch people for close to an hour while I was waiting!
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.
It's same for canada we have a winter tires deadline and when it's ok to not have them...
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.
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.
Exactly, locked wheels don't steer so good.
what are you talking about? that sedan was fine.
Yol hi nbcbm bkfc
Dgvnmb
did somebody mention kfc?
The sedan had somewhere to be lmao
Probably had the right tires for the conditions. Made it look pretty easy.
This was before salt was discovered in that part of the world.
Despite living next to an ocean.
2:48 vey impressed by the sedan that managed to make it through without any trouble
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
If you ever encounter this situation, try to drive next to the side of the road where the snow is. This will give you enough grip to hopefully make it out alive. Next to the sidewalk is a perfect example on this.
Why is this so entertaining? I want more.
Does the store on the other side of the road specialise in airport themed porn? That's quite niche. See 2:47.
Nah, the road it's located on (behind the guy filming) is called Airport Road.

I could watch this scene being played out from my driveway, not this exact road, on any given day 5 months out of the year yet I still watched this 😆
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
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.
@@marksinger2360 yeah absolutely
Often times people freak out and then you don't think and end up trying to do as someone below mentioned "burn through the ice", it takes good practice to get up something as incredibly slick as this
@@marksinger2360 Another thing that helps is if you get into a slide, rather than riding the brakes and hoping for the best, turn the wheel harder in the direction you intend to go and blip the throttle. More often than not this has pulled me out of a slide.
After spending my whole life in Montana, if I move south for whatever reason in my life, I'll always get all-weather/all-season tires. No matter what.
The key to getting up an icy hill is momentum and driving on the shoulder where you have a higher surface mu/ friction coefficient.
wow! Bringing science talk in with mu and coef of friction... hehe!
the real key is winter tires and AWD
Nicholas Petit yea if u slow down your done
Zins's Gaming I live in Canada in a city that is top 5 for annual snowfall amounts.... winter tires and common sense and I’ve never been stuck, towed etc... all lightweight standard transmission fwd vehicles to... an Acura rsx, Honda prelude & Nissan Altima.
You re fecked if someone has the hill blocked and causing cars to stop and traffic ques

O my god this really reminds me of driving in upstate New York in winter time after 12 years i moved to Texas, i just couldn’t handle the stress of driving to work everyday on a icy road like this in the video 🥺
But Texas has an ice storm every 7 years or so, where the rain sticks to everything, the streets are slicker than snot on ice, I can definitely say it is one of the worst conditions I’ve ever driven in.
Wh- why are u not verified u have like 166k subscribers?

Cooking?
What's for dinner?
“This sedan us totally out of control here. Yup.”
Wth? Not even lol. Dramatic.
Have some fun you wet mop
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.
enough speed to clear the hill.
Last car going up is the only one who knows how to drive.
I know, he drove past by like nothing
@@Chris-wi3vu it really wasnt nothing tho. It look like just a bump from the camera man's view not like a big steep hill that you wouldnt want to even try to go up
You can hear a light tapping noise (2:47) from the tires. Those must be studded winter tires?
Big heavy duty truck, tacoma passes lmfao
And knows that should have winters tires.
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!
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.
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.
That was me today. Slid right through a stop light. I was going really slow too. We’re all used to it around here though.
I mean, going up the hill vs going down the hill are different things. Going up is going to be almost impossible but going down you're going down either way, all ya gotta do is glide it baby
Momentum is the key. As soon as you slow down you’ll slide and stop.
Thanks for the video 👍
It’s always the Prius broken on the side of the road. 😂😂
Thanos mostly newer models car brands
Prius drivers are awful
Put your tires on the slush folks... not the smooth, shiny tracks.
More grainy traction.
I did that one time but turns out there was ice under the slush as well.
I live on a hill a little less steep than this. On really icy mornings, I throw salt above and below where my truck is parked so people can get control and don't hit it.
People drive above your truck?
@@helenarichard he meant on the hilly road around his truck so people have more traction and dont slip off and hit his vehicle
“This sedan is totally out of control”
Literally is in control 😂😂😂
That’s why they spray the roads with anti-freezing agents in certain states in the Midwest
Because midwesterners can't be bothered to keep a set of studded snow tires?
The last car is like “excuse meeeee, coming through! “
I think I heard helper chains on the drive wheels of the car that went up. Also, a lot of momentum helps going up the hill.
snowrocket no chains. He/she may have had studded snows.
Listen closer, it was studded tires, chains would would be a thunk thunk thunk thunk as each cross link hit the pavement and are pretty much illegal in most states.
The last car was actually Jeremy Clarkson and if you listen close you can hear him screaming “POWEEEEEEEEEEEEER!”
This has happened to me a couple times. So embarrassing. I just turn around as quickly as I can and find another route to destination lol. Winter driving in cold state has def taught me the high importance of having good tires.
Camera guy: everybody is sliding out of control.
The last car: Hold my beer & watch this!
I’m so glad I don’t live in a place dealing with icy roads like this.
Why are these types of videos always so entertaining to watch?😂
2:06 Looks like someone was hanging out at the dirty bookstore!
I drive on ice quite often and momentum is your friend, if there is almost no friction there is almost no way for your cars line to change, so pick your line and aim straight like last car, arrive with some speed and up you go. Driving on ice is really a lot of fun.
This guy would disagree with you. th-cam.com/video/TZQXuWzBC18/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, even sliding down a hill is fun - until you really do need to stop.
Somebody must have been upset not being able to turn into "Adult Airport Video" LOL😊
Sir, would you bring the shopping cart back, please?
“Heavy duty truck” and it’s a tacoma 😂 that thing is over payload capacity if you have 1 passenger and a full tank of gas
