In Canada, before conditions become as bad as this, there are always a ton of salt trucks on the road to make sure this doesn't happen. In Texas, seeing this is extremely rare, I don't expect drivers to be prepared for driving in this condition.
Texas sucks really bad boring lame place and food is only pizza taco burger fake chinese and southern style chicken all day everyday no matter how many miles u drive it be a different restaurant with pretty much the same choices😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good point, 4ever! However, if he can't manage to drive straight across the bridge going forward in a straight line, what makes you think he is competent to back up?
I love how the firetruck clearly moved up to stop his vehicle from moving into on coming traffic and the truck deliberately continues to go around and cause even more potential damage lmao
Hacks&Glitches yes I realize that. My point was he or she had no idea how to handle the situation. Driving backwards into potential on coming traffic when they were just on the shoulder, is not the best way to handle it.
@@Santana-xo1vj ok let them . If they want to wreck there car . Let them . I did that and my boss totaled out his porsche . It was less them 3 months old . 😂😂😂😂
When I first moved to nyc and had a snow storm there was 4 inches snow on the road and asked a friend if we go to work when that happens and they laughed and said it’s just snow we drive on ice and snow all the time now just gotta know how if you’re from Texas (I grew up there) you’re not used to it and probably don’t know how so yeah call out but up north icy or snowy roads is normal
I lived up North for a few years, and when I moved down here 6 years ago, it wasn't a surprise seeing people having problems with ice. I'll probably be one of the fewer Texans with knowledge of how to drive on ice.
I have a friend that lives in TX and he says that the whole state goes into panic mode then they get just a little bad weather. Now me being from Ohio this just makes me laugh.
Slow down a lot before the icy stretch of road.. Drive straight with no sudden turns,braking or momentum changes. This comes from 30+ years of Northern Canadian off road trucking experience. A frozen bridge deck just ease off accelerator and coast across. Sounds simple but if this ice condition is foreign to you it certainly can be a challenge
A Father Fuck that, floor it and let the bald eagles sing while laying twins on the ground... More fun... Yes, ive done it and in regular rain/wet roads. People look at you, but i never spin out. I just dont do it beside people incase a tire blows or the truck wants to walk.
SgtRic58 actually it goes in these order 1. don’t go out if not necessary. 2. keep your distance and slow down. 3. no sudden breaking or turning the wheel. 4. when you start fish tailing let off the gas. feet off the break. steer towards the direction of fishes tail. don’t over do it just small adjustments to correct it. 5. once you’ve regained control pull over to the side and calm your nerves. this might be a good time to check yourself and the passengers if they shitted themselves. 6. if you can’t do step 1-5 stay home you’ll only endanger yourself and others on the road.
0:16 Guy in the white truck screwed up, big time. If he'd have put it in reverse he would gotten right off the bridge onto the non-frozen road surface. You can tell these people hardly ever see ice, because that's the most rookie mistake you can make.
It’s Houston, it almost never gets this cold there. I’m in NE Texas, it gets cold here but only 1 or 2 days of snow here would be normal and never this cold for this long. I spent a few years in New England, this reminds me of Connecticut .
I live in Fargo, and driving on icy roads really isn't a "skill" you can develop (especially if it's black ice). I guess the only thing I've learned from living here is just to drive more slowly, and try to anticipate ice based on the temperature and presence of precipitation such as snow, sleet or ice. 4WD vehicles are obviously a great investment but some people can't afford it. I keep a shovel in my trunk to dig myself out in case I wind up in the ditch (which I've actually had to do once, after I skidded off the road at a cloverleaf). But plenty of times I've seen cars that are in the median upside down, with the lights on and the wheels still spinning. Even people who live here don't know how to drive during the winter, lol. I've also got a homemade 'winter survival kit' in my car which includes an extra jacket, hat, gloves, a blanket, matches and some candles. Enough things to keep me warm while waiting if I ever needed roadside assistance. Our winters here are no joke.
sean2015 I used to live in Sheldon, which is about 50 miles from Fargo, and then we moved to Texas. I miss the chilly weather but not the snow and ice 😂. I still have family that lives in Minot though.
sean2015 I’m born and raised just north of George Town Colorado in the mountains, so it’s safe to say I know winter driving wether it’s snow, slush, sleet, ice, blackice or wind and I can promise you that winter driving is in fact a skill. Knowing your car and how it reacts when it loses traction and how to correct is is something you learn very quickly when you drive in it enough. The guy in the video lost traction, panicked then locked his brakes and over corrected. It’s a common mistake a lot of young or new drivers make up north.
@@bradallen1832 I disagree. I'd say the majority didn't pay attention. That would apply to the entire course. They don't actually care about the rules. Pffft, they just want to drive. Just like in any school, tests are what it's all about. Learning and retention are secondary at best.
Where I live, we see ice on the road about once every few years. No one knows how to drive in icy conditions because it's not taught. So, when that happens, most people here just call in to work or risk it, and things like this happens.
All you gotta do is hold the video image slide it down halfway your phone ads disappear. Though agreed ads in general have spiraled out of control on yt
reverse.. pah... he could have just steered right, he would have got the curve.. is that dude drunk? he decided to drive in the wrong direction, blocking the whole frozen part.. this is how desaster starts... if the other upcoming drivers would be as stupid as he was .. caramboulage.
The truck and the fire engine! I hope they send each other Christmas cards every year! Those Texans drive better on ice than all these Northern blowhards bragging about how well they drive in bad weather.Crunch!
Taxes are lower in Texas, _____ and a part of the reason is that they do not spend enough money on salting and sanding their roadways during and after such storms. In states such as NY and NJ where ice and snow storms are more common the taxes are higher partially because the roads are far better maintained during storms and we do not see many multi-vehicle pileups on our highways in NY or NJ. So basically what Texas is doing is risking drivers lives and causing many wrecks of their vehicles on unsalted and un-sanded icy roads to save tax money.
Dear White Pickup Truck Driver - throw away your truck keys and take the bus. Not only are you driving too fast on ice, you also decide to pull out in front of a fire engine that’s also sliding on ice when you simply could have backed off the icy bridge. Your poor driving judgement will get someone hurt or killed on day.
' no wonder why why the bridge is always more coldy icey than on the ground... dept of bridge and dept of transportation has to put heater coil under the bridge and keep little warm while winter season... no coldy bridge = no icey bridge = no no slippery
LOL.......Only the bridge is icy, Northerners would have just gone along normal speed and just made sure to not touch a control while on the ice. Also if I was spun out on glare ice and wanted a quick 180 I would've fully cut the wheel and hit the gas.
That's the first thing I thought! That once he got his rear wheels on dry road he'd put it in reverse? But he decided to give the firemen a show.
Right you can tell dude doesn't know what to do lol
Idiot driver
He / she did that big ass circle when all she needed was to reverse 🙅.
Yup dummer than a box of rocks
Must have taken his reverse gear out when he spun on the ice.
What i was thinking i thought they were gonna do it…but no

Then why post this pointless comment?
I live in north Dakota ,they rarely use salt or sand for some reason ,it's pure ice all winter long
Average 50F vs 10 to 15F that time of year. Real good comparison...

snowrocket because he clearly hits a dry spot at 0:16 and was perfectly capable of reversing.
Same thing i was thinking

@The Sounds of Chicago Knight Yes, but this was not the case.
6 lanes to turn around?

Sounds simple but if this ice condition is foreign to you it certainly can be a challenge
Bridges and overpasses are common to ice faster due to no geo thermal energy form the ground.
It's more like residual heat than geothermal energy
All he had to do was stop panicking and release hes brakes.. I swear everybody is doing the most for show
It is just on an over pass. Keep a steady speed no abrupt movements and keep going.
A Father Fuck that, floor it and let the bald eagles sing while laying twins on the ground... More fun...
Yes, ive done it and in regular rain/wet roads. People look at you, but i never spin out. I just dont do it beside people incase a tire blows or the truck wants to walk.
Do they have winter tires in America?
The secret to surviving in icey conditions: "Don't touch the brakes !"
SgtRic58 actually it goes in these order
1. don’t go out if not necessary.
2. keep your distance and slow down.
3. no sudden breaking or turning the wheel.

perfect example for sign that says "bridge freezes before the rest of the road"
riding slowly is safer n u have better control!!
ONE vehicle. Not vehicles.👎
Most drivers have no business being on the road with these conditions. They simply don't have the necessary skills.

“Bridge ices before road”
@Total Confusion yes...and people still drive fast in bridges when the temperatures are freezing 🙃
@Total Confusion gotta learn the hard way :)
This killed me to watch this !!!!
Truck driver :Woah " the truck is slideing , oh it stopped i should turn around and figure out why.....
How do you lose control going in a straight line?
Generally speaking, by making any kind of sudden change to your direction of travel by activating the brakes, accelerator, or steeting wheel.
Inertia coupling
the wheels that have lost traction always end up at the front!
Is the water in Galveston warm?
Fire truck lost momentum, not cool
He hit dry pavement why didn't he just back up
Do they sand and salt their roads?
This is why we use winter tyres and lots of salt in Germany.
Some people are born stupid.🙄
Where I live, we see ice on the road about once every few years. No one knows how to drive in icy conditions because it's not taught. So, when that happens, most people here just call in to work or risk it, and things like this happens.

Left the tires at 15 psi
And weeeeeee
Wait it gets cold in Houston?
At this point in the day there should be salt and sand on this road
will twin turbo lambo grip on this?
Dude in the whit truck, why didn't you just put it in reverse? You need not drive in bad weather, your a danger 🤔
Drive a little faster, by the time you realize you are sliding you are already over the icy patch?
There you can see the section, of the bridge is covered in black ice.
“Put it in reverse terry”
Do you even reverse bro?
I remember my first beer.
It's ice, Texas and not in your glass. Slow down. Bundle up. Hunker down. Rise to the occasion.
