When in High School my town was struck with a terrible ice storm. Wrecks everywhere, people were crawling on their hands and knees it was so bad. Inspiration struck me and I put on my football cleats which made me super man. I proceeded to spend the night helping stranded people. My mom was so proud of me. I miss mom. Happy New Years everybody.
I absolutely love driving in the snow, my brother always took me out and taught me just how much fun you can have, if you hone your skills. As a mother of three girls, I would take them out, one at a time and go to big parking lots and teach them just how to go about snow ❄️ and to always remember that ICE, is in charge, no matter what you drive,you can buy it,doesn't mean you can drive it!
At 8:00 I love that bus drifting through the corner. Driver knows what he's doing. Also, ever notice that a car doesn't steer worth a shit with all 4 tires locked up?
also locking up your tires sliding down a hill is NOT a good thing to do. Use your engine. Put your car in a lower gear and tap the brakes when needed. But your car will steer and if you accelerate (yes i know sounds weird) it will pull you to the direction you're trying to go. Most people you see in these videos are panic braking (STANDING on the brake pedal) and its just making the situation 1000% worse.
Anybody notice that the 1 minute 20 second mark the guy in the black car got out and yells and he drops his cell phone doesn't realize it and then drives over it
00:42 - The perfect example of a trucker who thinks he doesn't need chains because he never drives in the mountains. I cannot tell you how often I've seen heavy wreckers called out in the prairies to recover a semi who could have self-recovered with chains or who likely wouldn't have slid off the completely ice-covered highway if he had chains on. If your trailer is light on ice, pull over or put on the chains. -------------------------------------------------- [Note: This comment is not focused on any particular "designated group" with regard to the TH-cam "hate speech" or "cyberbullying" policies.

I always learned to keep the vehicle rolling so you have control. I see a lot of people just slam the brakes. That for sure will make you slide out of control in the direction you don’t want to go.
Two things when driving on ice that my grandpa taught me who was a truck driver for 50 years brakes never work and wheel speed is your enemy so quit spinning your tires go slow and don’t touch the brakes because You’ll have no control.
@ that is what the 1 and 2 are for on your average automatic gearbox. Keep calm, know what to do and (I know it is not a lot of people’s favorite hobby) read the manual.
They are not thinking. They would need to watch how they do it in Scandinavia LOL. There, it is the law that you need to use Hakkapelitta studded tires LOL. Amen LOL
Panic and inexperience are deadly in winter driving. Don't touch the brake pedal, feather the throttle to control steering and try to aim for snow on the road, a tire full of snow sticks better than clear tires on ice
I have driven on snow and ice many times with all different kinds of vehicles. The best car I ever had in snow/ice was a 1989 Plymouth Horizon. It was a real mountain goat in bad weather, never stranded me and never got stuck. Front wheel drive with Michelin tires it would go anywhere. I miss that little car when the snow flies.
When I was in high school, my town was hit by a terrible ice storm. Wreckage was everywhere, and people were crawling on their hands and knees it was chaos. I put on my soccer cleats and became a superhero, spending the entire night helping those who were trapped. My mom was so proud. Looking back, I miss her dearly. Wishing everyone a happy new year live life with meaning!
3 years ago I got caught in an ice storm in the middle of the day. It hit as I was driving but there was no safe spot to pull off. Myself and 4 other cars came around a curve and like synchronized drivers we all gently slid across the road into a shallow ditch. We sat there for 2 hours waiting for it to warm up a couple of degrees. It finally did, I drove home white knuckled all the way, and promptly had a drink.
@billolsen4360 It's snowing and freezing here right now, and yet cars stay in their own lane. The reason for that is the right tires at the right time. That is, winter tires in winter and summer tires in summer.👍
These clips take me back to when I was a delivery driver for a bakery. My round usually took 2 1/2 hours, but the snow was very bad. I took a shovel with me as I had a delivery to make at the top of a hill with a winding road. I got to the store with all the bread and cakes in perfect condition and the shop owner was over the moon because I was the only delivery that got to him that morning and I was over 2 hours late. He made a nice hot mug of coffee and a bar of chocolate for my efforts. I eventually got back to the bakery almost 6 hours later. I was the only driver to get back after making all the deliveries, and I was the only woman driver.
In my country it's mandatory learning how to control your vehicle in slippery conditions, when you attend a drivers course to be getting a drivers license no matter if you want to ride a bike, drive a bus, a car or a semi... Even when we're not getting snow every year. If you're involved in an accident in the winter - not driving on suitable tires with the correct pressure... You could be held legally responsible - as a driver you should know how to operate your vehicle in a safe manner...
At sixty-four I have visited the snow twice, touched it once. I have never left my state California & never will. Never driven in the snow I don't think I ever will, It would be a very short show ending in disaster if I ever do : ) Thank you for posting. New subscriber & a Like.
I used to work on top of a steep hill. After a storm I wasn't able to get up even halfway (walking up wasn't even an option). I went to the convenient store down the road, where cops usually hung out. I asked a cop to take me to work. He looked at me like I was crazy. He asked where I worked and when I told him that I need to get only the top of the hill, he was willing to take me. My coworker was shocked to see me get out of a cop car. (Back seat of a cop car is sooooo uncomfortable!!!)
Always aim for the dry peaked snow, to get a purchase, low revs, and if trying to stop down hill, just aim at an incline at roadside if possible . . Only grass and soil to worry about, look at it another day, or when rescue arranged.
Sit there and spin your tires.... You're making the situation SOO much worse. Find and learn the rock motion. Drive the car forward as far as it will go (without spinning the tires) then put in reverse and do the same thing. You'll find the peak of the rut you're in and you will rock out of it. I used to drive a front wheel drive Hyundai Elantra for 10 years and not once did I get stuck. There were moments I had to use this technique. But at all times I was able to get my car in motion. My G/f sat and spun her tires and burnt them out being stuck for 10 minutes. BRAND new winter tires... Gone from spinning. Don't spin your tires. Steer the front side to side and find the peak. I would have gotten this guy out @1:00 EASILY
I can remember one snow storm in the Portland Oregon area. The traffic on 99W was reduced to 2mph because one idiot was stuck in the left lane in front of the Tigard Fred Meyer store spinning his wheels. He didn't have the sense to roll back down the slight hill to the side of the road to get out of the way. Once I got past him the traffic was up to about 20 mph and there was no more traffic jam.
I lived in Chicago for the first 30 years of my life. I always drove Corvairs in the winter and had a blast! Yeah, I got stuck a few times, but, with snow tires and a Posi diff, I could easily hang in there with 4WD trucks. Now I live in Phoenix, and while I don't miss Chicago winters (or summers), I *do* miss driving in the snow.
it's always the same idiot driver who crash their car when snow falls, my cousin works at an insurance company and she told me that EVERY YEAR they've got 7 clients who crash their car when the first snow falls...🤦♀️ every fucking year.
I live in Hamilton, Ontario Canada and a year and a half ago. One of our bus route’s got rerouted due to snow and ice. But the neighbourhood it sent it through was my neighbourhood and we were buried in snow so I ended up staying in there for almost 2 hours trying to unbury a Hamilton transit city buses after we got the bus on Stuck we had to spend another hour trying to dig out a Hamilton city workers pick up truck after it got stuck after the we got the bus free. Winter is definitely a stress test for anyone and any Vehicle As well as a free workout lol
@@MARCBOIREAU At freeway speeds, a tire will lose size of the 'patch' in contact with the road. The centripetal force will take out the bulge, leaving less tread on the roadway, and riding up on the studs. Metal has less friction that rubber. The chances of losing traction on a wet road, with studded tires, at freeway speed, is a lot higher than with ordinary, non-studded snow tires. If you want to see an extreme example of this, then watch a dragster and how the tires will 'expand' from the centripetal force as they leave the line. Very easy to see. And less contact with vehicle tread, and riding the metal studs...... Yikes! BUT, they DO operate better at low speeds on ice. So, if you live in an area that experiences a lot of ice in the winter, then studs are a good idea (terrible on the road surface, but still safer). You just have to remember that studs are not so great on roads NOT covered by ice, and SLOW DOWN. But people will not do that, of course. Solution? Do what is suggested. Winter traction tires (snow tires). If it is icy, everyone stops for a moment, gets out their bag of sand or kitty litter, spreads it quickly, and everyone is back under way in less than a minute. and the entire freeway is coated with enough sand that you do not need studs. Yes, ok, really only works IF everyone does as suggested and carries some sand or kitty litter, and only works when enough vehicles are around. Answer, sand the hills, and just slow down where it is flat. No sand required on flat areas, unless you insist on doing donuts. A lot of people do that in the snow....
People aren’t “stupid” because their vehicle isn’t able to make it up an icy hill. More than likely that’s the only vehicle they own,and they still need to get to work. You can’t just stay home because it’s difficult getting to work because it snowed. Not every vehicle has 4 wheel drive and great tires. Some people are poor!
8:10 C8 Corvette stuck in the snow. In November a customer at the dealership spent $2900 on 4 new snow tires for her new C8 with 1000 miles on it. She was busy and I got to deliver it. The roads though were completely dry that day here in Minnesota and Wisconsin. She has a nice Jeep to drive when it is stormy. I believe that she ordered a C8 E-Ray edition which has a 2 year waiting list.
A message to everyone: If it's icy out and your car is going down a hill beyond your control, do NOT, I repeat, do NOT slam on the brakes and lock up your wheels! Doing this will remove all possible control you may have on your car and turn it into an uncontrollable sled. Pump the brakes quickly and constantly but don't lock the tires! Keep the tires free-spinning so you can have SOME control over where you're going. You can pump the gas just a little bit (if applicable) to also give you some more minor control. Minor control is way better than no control!!!
Dear God…people trying to stop a thousand pound car on a hill….Really? You don’t have a little voice in your head that tells you it’s really not your best idea???
In my younger days I would go out in this stuff. But as I got older and almost killed a couple times in these conditions, I don’t go out and just watch others now enjoy terrible, icy roads.
Just carry some chains with aggressive cross chains for ice, unless you live in a area where winter is especially nasty and you drive in it everyday till spring, no need for snow tires.I've never had a issue with chains and 4x4 and you can install them pretty quick and easy.
I remember when chains on tires were a thing. When I bought my first car-a 1965 VW bug it came with 4 studded tires. Unfortunately I had to have them removed and replaced with regular tires! I had to replay and listen closely to the name of the Arctic winter road destination. Never heard of Yakutia but I have now and I’ll stick to my 36°, FL 26° New Years Eve temperature. -95° F doesn’t excite me one bit and I’ll proudly stand up and call myself a wuss!!
Buy winter tires, drive slower than you normally would, and if you skid take your foot off the gas but DON'T touch the brakes. Always leave yourself extra time to get places and turn your lights on in heavy snow so others know where you are on the road. I think that should be everything, but I'm sure others will add anything I missed.
Be very light on your foot pedals, tyre chains for tyres also let pressure out of your tyres for more traction. Carry a shovel & bag of rock salt. Worst thing to do is be heavy on your accelerator. If you have a manual vehicle. Drive in a lower gear for traction. Pull away in 2nd gear & change to 3rd as soon as possible. If your vehicle is rear wheel drive. Cancel your trip all together. Driving in remote areas is very dangerous, survival gear plenty of warm clothing, little gas stove, flashlight plenty of batteries, fully charged devices. Something to keep your windscreen clear. Be very cautious getting somewhere late or very late is much better than not getting there at all. Common Sense is number 1.
The funniest clips are the 4WD drivers who think 4WD is better than just fitting winter tyres. I know it’s a pain to set up (ideally a separate set of rims) but the actual total cost is modest (your summer tyres get half the wear so last twice as long), you only have to avoid one minor prang to be ahead and the ability to get somewhere safely is invaluable (the biggest risk is still everyone else)

Mad respect for that box truck that was drifting on those snowy roads! He’s done that a time or two lol perfect!

An you got no choice when you're driving on a scheduled route. That bus must get through.
So glad I retired last summer and don't have to get out in bad weather. A side benefit of getting older!
I'd rather be Stuck than Old. 😮
No benefits to being Old.

Lmao! Yeah, I saw that too. He gonna be a human nuke going off when he realizes his phone gone and destroyed.
Mais non lol j’avais pas vu 🤣🤣🤣
OMG, I noticed that too! The way he doesn’t realize it until it’s too late had me laughing so hard!

So true in the Caribou
The last guy to stop the car 💪
*Hi friends, have a nice day!*
Almost all of these vehicles do not have chain or winter tires. Why are they on the road? What are they thinking?
thinking? it is very energy-consuming process.
Especially the Camaro with the donkey wheels on it ! (side note: the driver is also a donkey)
They are not thinking. They would need to watch how they do it in Scandinavia LOL. There, it is the law that you need to use Hakkapelitta studded tires LOL. Amen LOL

The bus at 7:58.... And the truck at 8:48! Like a boss!
28:50 The Chev advertises it's a 4x4, yet it's obviously in 2WD.
At 13:50 too
Yeah, these morons in 4x4's obviously don't know how to engage it!
Far more likely is that the 4WD didn't work.

1:33 was so unexpected, I choked on my coffee! Totally made my day! 😄☕
One of the biggest mistakes I can see here is blocking the wheels by breaking. Then you lose all grip and can't steer out of the situation.
I hate winter. 🥶
Usually if you can keep from hitting another vehicle or something else you have had a victory. 😁 Lived all my life in New England

13:30 ~ Apparently this guy still doesn't know his truck has 4 wheel drive to this day.
Great video bro. His videos are always entertaining. Admired
Talk about a slippery situation! 😱❄ Drive safe out there, everyone
I used to work on top of a steep hill. After a storm I wasn't able to get up even halfway (walking up wasn't even an option).

Always aim for the dry peaked snow, to get a purchase, low revs, and if trying to stop down hill, just aim at an incline at roadside if possible . . Only grass and soil to worry about, look at it another day, or when rescue arranged.
Got to love those anti-lock brakes!

The chaos of icy roads really shows how unpredictable winter driving can be. Stay safe out there, everyone!
You gotta rock it, back and forth: FWD/REV, FWD/REV, FWD/REV, and so on.
In the words of Jim Lahey "Rock it Barb"
Best video of 2025 so far!
Nice video ❤
There is a reason the law mandates winter tires. And heavy trucks have to carry snow chains ready to use.
Yeah, where's the chains ?
7:19 I have never been more confident in the likelihood that the stuck vehicle would be rescued the first time!!!
People with AWD or 4 wheel abuse their limits ice , just stay home😊
8:55 perfect!

Let us all enjoy our New Year !
This i why we used to have studs in our tires.
Chains work well too !
Studded snow tires on all 4 wheels are a must in winter, not only for accelerating, but for breaking.
I learned how to drive in snow country, and one of the most useful tactics to use is route planning to avoid hills as much as possible.
Studded tires are the only true winter tires
But extremely dangerous at freeway speeds in the rain.
@@davidbeckenbaugh9598 then don't go to fast. And no studded tire on oce are more dangerous than studded tire on rainy freeway.

People aren’t “stupid” because their vehicle isn’t able to make it up an icy hill. More than likely that’s the only vehicle they own,and they still need to get to work.

my 76 Cutlass with a 3 on the tree was the best handling auto in the snow that I have ever owned and I've been driving 36 years in Fairbanks Ak
A message to everyone: If it's icy out and your car is going down a hill beyond your control, do NOT, I repeat, do NOT slam on the brakes and lock up your wheels! Doing this will remove all possible control you may have on your car and turn it into an uncontrollable sled. Pump the brakes quickly and constantly but don't lock the tires! Keep the tires free-spinning so you can have SOME control over where you're going. You can pump the gas just a little bit (if applicable) to also give you some more minor control. Minor control is way better than no control!!!
Antilock brakes were invented for stupid people.

I allways wonder why people go out under these conditions. Wear spikes under yr shoes, use snowsocks for yr tyres. Best you stay at home.
Because it is fun 😏 if you can of course drive. i am setting my alarm in winter at 3 am to get most out of the snow, when it heavy snow is coming.
Move to Bermuda....
They are snow tyres??For real??😊🤔🤔
12:10 Rear wheel drive works just fine on icy roads with proper winter tires. Not so much with race tires.
The snowplow driver at 11:23 should be held accountable for throwing the snow across the highway into oncoming traffic.
A lot of this footage is old been on before.
It's not a superhero it was already about to stop
2:57 Wheelman! Never say Wham!
Dear God…people trying to stop a thousand pound car on a hill….Really? You don’t have a little voice in your head that tells you it’s really not your best idea???
Never heard of snow tyres , spikes or chains ?
Simple answer: snow tyres
That 1st guy in the black car at the 1 minute 20 second mark when he gets out and yells he drops his cell phone and then drives over it
You're not from a country with a harsh winter climate are you?
Has the right ansver.@@DavyRo
Snowtyres
They don't even change oil, Why change tires?
Too many that need to stay home.
People still don't know that when in 1st gear yr wheels are slipping you have to put directly the car in 2nd gear with less gas.
SSHHH ! You'll spill the secret ! Captain Keith
In my younger days I would go out in this stuff. But as I got older and almost killed a couple times in these conditions, I don’t go out and just watch others now enjoy terrible, icy roads.
here we go loopty loo here we loopty lie even on a saturday night!!
2.25 SNOWSOCKS are the solution. you will be amazed how well you will drive on ice and snow.
Tires are everything. The road doesn't know what's above the tires. Just like good shoes.
People need to realize that once you apply brakes, you lost control on snow and ice
You got the let the wheels turn if you want to steer
Who else from the Caribbean?
looks like everyone needs to start buying snow chains
Tires.... Tires.... Tires! That is what it's all about
8:30 Corvette's literally aren't made for driving in snow. You can't even get snow tires for them.
18:16, those are the dpecial "EKG" tires.
Just carry some chains with aggressive cross chains for ice, unless you live in a area where winter is especially nasty and you drive in it everyday till spring, no need for snow tires.I've never had a issue with chains and 4x4 and you can install them pretty quick and easy.
I remember when chains on tires were a thing. When I bought my first car-a 1965 VW bug it came with 4 studded tires. Unfortunately I had to have them removed and replaced with regular tires! I had to replay and listen closely to the name of the Arctic winter road destination. Never heard of Yakutia but I have now and I’ll stick to my 36°, FL 26° New Years Eve temperature. -95° F doesn’t excite me one bit and I’ll proudly stand up and call myself a wuss!!
5:23 Astoria Oregon 😅 all hills and one massive bridge to Washington State across the Columbia.
5:28 Was that Stephanie's house that got hit?
Roads like this are a real challenge for drivers. Does anyone have any tips for driving safely on ice and snow?
Use common sense. Don't drive around with Bald tires don't just randomly drive into Piles of snow.
Rule number one--SLOW DOWN!!
On SNOW, do NOT spin your tires! On ICE-STAY HOME!!
Buy winter tires, drive slower than you normally would, and if you skid take your foot off the gas but DON'T touch the brakes. Always leave yourself extra time to get places and turn your lights on in heavy snow so others know where you are on the road. I think that should be everything, but I'm sure others will add anything I missed.
Be very light on your foot pedals, tyre chains for tyres also let pressure out of your tyres for more traction. Carry a shovel & bag of rock salt. Worst thing to do is be heavy on your accelerator. If you have a manual vehicle. Drive in a lower gear for traction. Pull away in 2nd gear & change to 3rd as soon as possible. If your vehicle is rear wheel drive. Cancel your trip all together. Driving in remote areas is very dangerous, survival gear plenty of warm clothing, little gas stove, flashlight plenty of batteries, fully charged devices. Something to keep your windscreen clear. Be very cautious getting somewhere late or very late is much better than not getting there at all. Common Sense is number 1.
@@DavyRo Stubby tires.
The funniest clips are the 4WD drivers who think 4WD is better than just fitting winter tyres. I know it’s a pain to set up (ideally a separate set of rims) but the actual total cost is modest (your summer tyres get half the wear so last twice as long), you only have to avoid one minor prang to be ahead and the ability to get somewhere safely is invaluable (the biggest risk is still everyone else)
