First, take note of the temperature and amount of humidity. If the temperature is around freezing, there is a higher chance there will be ice on the roads. Stay out of the clusters of cars, especially on the highway. If you're touching your brakes all the time, you're too close to the vehicles in front and are at greater risk of crashing. If you do have to stop on ice and you slide when you touch the brakes, apply the brakes, release, steer and apply again. If you're not finding traction, get out the travelled portion of the road by moving to the right.

This is great info thank you for posting

[@smartdrivetest]

Glad it was helpful! Drop us a note if you have further questions. Cheers Rick

[@robmalcolm8042]

I believe the curve info is definitely one of the most important tips especially braking when your car can lose complete traction from already changing wheel direction in a curve with ice. The other day in New Jersey/ New York states there were so many hundreds of accidents for black ice with most on curves from exits and entrances to the highways. I'm sure it must of been more so from the first crash blocking everyone else's way out so it caused a chain reaction since people couldn't brake cause of ice but still did to try and stop before the crashed car and ended up probably braking hard which made it even worse. Man that day I was fine until I exited the highway especially cause that exit has like two bad potholes at the top so my car did spin a bit at the curve but barely thankfully I didn't yank my steering wheel and just slightly turned to go straight again and didn't brake or panic!

[@smartdrivetest]

Thank you my friend. Glad to hear that you're okay. It's always good when you don't panic and don't hit the brakes. Just focus on steering the vehicle is almost always best. All the very best, Cheers Rick

[@jarikinnunen1718]

Snow is good sign for get some grip. Temp around of zero is dangerous.

[@skyyyybb]

People saying just don’t drive on it must not have jobs…

[@malkeitkaur3046]

Thank you for these tips.

[@davidcampbell1899]

You get black ice on days where the temp is lover then -18C or 0F

[@adam_williamk8280]

Nice post man. Cheers from Ireland

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Adam_William K - We're happy to hear we could help out. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@clockworkNate]

Move over to the right??? Shit if I do that here the little bit of snow built up on the right pulls me straight towards the ditch.

[@smartdrivetest]

Yes, if you're driving that close to the snow bank, you don't want to move over to the right my friend. But you do want to move slightly left or right (preferably to the outside) to get out of the main tracks of where the other vehicles are driving. Anywhere you can find a bit of traction. Drop us a note if we can help further. Cheers Rick

[@Beantastrophe]

About to have the first ice storm in 30 years. Frick

[@nef_get5186]

Thank you 🙏

[@smartdrivetest]

You’re welcome 😊

[@watchmanexpert]

Thanks I am road trip now with snow on road .. 18 hours road trip

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Tony MTA - you are most welcome my friend. Be safe and all the best, Cheers Rick

[@chupacabra3331]

It’s actually better if the temp is down below 10 degrees F. You get more “grip” on the ice without a thin layer of water you get around freezing. Same with compacted snow. Try not to coast, keep your drive tires turning for traction. When you coast you lose bite. If you’re rear wheel drive, turn on 4 wheel if you got it otherwise it’s almost impossible on ice without studded traction tires or chains.

[@aldutroix3944]

Great info, but I would really appreciate if you could do a lengthy video just covering winter driving. I’ve been watching all of your videos on winter driving, but I still have some issues with my vehicle that I’m not sure how to resolve. The main problem I usually have is in tight city traffic and when I try to slightly brake, but my vehicle sort of skids speeding up and I don’t ever have enough room to wait it out until it stops. It’s below 35 where I live, and I drive around 10-20 km/h on a normal road with a speed limit of 60 km/h, or slower depending on other cars speed. The only ways I usually avoid skidding into a car is by steering entirely off the road, since I can never find traction on the actual road for me to stop quickly.

[@smartdrivetest]

What kind of tires do you have on your vehicle? This is the full length video: th-cam.com/video/rYpgyNlF6cM/w-d-xo.html Cheers Rick

[@DeezNuts-]

That sounds like a tire issue maybe not enough tread or performance tires that work wonders in summer but are useless in the snow

[@Wigglythegreat2]

No mention of tires?

[@smartdrivetest]

Unless you're running studded tires, even winter tires won't do you much good on ice my friend. See this vid: th-cam.com/video/clvShdh26HU/w-d-xo.html Drop us a note if we can help further. Cheers Rick

[@keithrock939]

I drove loads of lorries and I would spray all my tyres with di icer. It stops snow build up on tyre

How to drive safe on black ice….. dont drive at all

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi WS MS - sometimes it's unavoidable and you're on black ice. This video may help: th-cam.com/video/rYpgyNlF6cM/w-d-xo.html All the best, Cheers Rick

Unemployed ppl be like:

[@joeharris3878]

" Black ice " it's smoothed, compacted, polished ice from snow if its on an asphalt street or highway.
Also water from tailpipe at a stop sign.

[@MERCERENiTY]

[@klimber10001]

Dont "hit" the brakes. TAP them... Move slow and steady with lots of space... Just remember this "slow is smooth and smooth is fast..."

[@chelleholmes1012]

What is you are driving on a bridge

[@Patrickstarrrrr69]

I drive on black ice but if I see accident after accident I just call it. Not worth the risk to me

[@tomtom9792]

and here i am complaining about driving in california rain😂😂😂

[@tedreid1035]

I don’t think you can drive safely on black ice.

[@hamburgerhoover208]

Best way to drive on ice...Don’t.

[@jeffjustus4969]

Don’t be driving on black ice.

[@skyyyybb]

It’s unavoidable sometimes. The world we live in doesn’t let you be late to work because there is black ice.

[@a.h.s5152]

💖💖💖💖💖💕

[@baccaratroulettewinninggri1849]

Drive slower than SLOW !!

[@youtudey138]

To drive safely on black ice? Don't

[@mikepierce1724]

Bridges first if no water off tires road gets quiet . If winds blowing get off road .

[@ejr5480]

Duh!🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

[@Art-cq1zy]

What do you mean by clusters

[@smartdrivetest]

Groups of cars travelling together at the same speed along the highway. And these drivers are often too close to one another. Drop us a note if you have further questions. Cheers Rick

[@muckfoot-4093]

you have to drive close to the vehicle in front of you, otherwise idiots are constantly cutting in.
you have to block them
