I am a dedicated tire chain guy. With chains on, my 2002 Honda Accord has passed large 4x4 trucks that cannot navigate an icy hill. Once I drove THROUGH a deep, snow-filled ditch getting around a truck that could not make it up the icy hill. I have found tire chains are easiest to put on my car by jacking up one wheel, putting the chain and tensioner on, and then doing the other wheel.
I sure miss the way bias ply tires steered which was way better than radial tires for you could tell if you were going into a skid with them and with radials you cannot!
On thing that has changed over time: the aspect ratio of factory equipped tires on cars: Where 70-80 series profile tires were once the norm, now a new car comes with enormous rims and superwide, low profile 50-60 series tires. These tires slide all over an icy road, so it is critical to set the correct cold tire pressure in them, as recommended by the manufacturer of your car, not of the tires.
I learned all this when I learned to drive. It seems like most people don't know how to drive in now anymore, or maybe they are in just too much of a hurry.
I bet people with those Giant Lincoln’s from back in the 70’s wouldn’t have any problems driving in the snow and ice back then with all that weight on those Lincoln’s!
I have this film on 16mm. The cars and clothing are dated but the information is timeless and still applies today.
I just learned more about driving from a 40-year-old video than I have learned in my 28 years of life

No question about it nothing beats chains but sadly they are illigal to use on the road where I live

Fantastic footage and this information still applies even to this day.
Anybody know that groovin tune that begins @ 4:07?
not with Antilock brakes
Your ass is in big trouble when driving a chevette in snow. 😂
They've been teaching this information for decades and still too many people don't know how to control their car or get prepared for winter.
I have no abs in my 2001 Subaru I always pumped the brakes with discs. Now I know lol
Looks like late 70s or maybe very early 80s
"Here are a few situations where hazards can be reduced by anticipation a patch of black ice"
Like if you get the refrence
Jesus is returning soon
Keep you wheels straight....if you got that far in and get stuck back out don't keep moving forward.
That old camaro also spins out in snow way more quickly and easily than most other cars
Rust never sleeps
