@ Waonator So is it better to keep rolling down the hill to prevent locking of brakes and suffer the consequences at the bottom. Yes don't lock brakes when moving along above 5 mph and you need to steer around an obstacle. There's a very good reason anti-lock brakes actually lock below a few mph. In this case lock, unlock a bit to steer, lock, repeat...

When it comes to potenially icy hills and trying to get home, I usualy pull over and plan out a route that avoids as many hills as possible along the way, even if that means going out of my way. Depending on the city and if the roads are salted and/or sanded, I might also avoid more busy roads because too many people don't keep a safe distance, and fewer cars means fewer tire tracks that have compressed the snow and made it more slick. If confronted with a hill that I must go up or down, I'll typically drive half on the soft shoulder (provided there's not a big ditch to fall into) to gain a little traction and have better steering control. 35 years of winter driving and I've never gone off the road or been involved in an accident. I have no problem driving anywhere in snow, my only problems comes with the knuckleheads that are around me who might crash into me or suddenly force me to do something evasive and dangerous that I wouldn't have done if not for them. With so many clueless, unsafe drivers out there, you're better off staying home and watching videos... :)

Wisconsin agrees. First snow of the year always sucks but the attrition rate of bad drivers make it get better later. Friend of mine said "I'll just get a cab" and I thought I'd die laughing...they're in a hurry to get that next rider and end up in ditches too. 4WD is almost a necessity here with a 2-speed transfer case in low range.

Being from Texas. I’ll never forget this woman that worked at the same company I did, she was from up north. She was saying us Texans don’t know how to drive on snow, I agreed, then I informed her, we dont get snow, we get ice. No one can drive on ice. She went off the deep end......I hope she’s watching.

First guy pulled the handbrake to lock the rear tires and went down smoothly. Nice tactics.

An opinion from Finland: As most of you know, we have "some" snow there in the winter. So we do not laugh at those people who are not used used to that most slippery First Snow. We are allowed to use studded tires that roughen the surface of the ice/snow and actually the asphalt too. So winter conditions here are actually easier than those of smooth-worn asphalt and black ice with snow on it. That hill is also much steeper than what it looks like, video always makes everything look easier. Those drivers actually made quite well, considering that they are apparently not used to conditions like that. I have seen worse even here in Finland because new cars do not allow people to practice winter driving, they have all kinds of electronic aids that help to the point of no return.The car tries to control the situation until it gets totally out of hand. ABS is the worst thing to have in the winter, and when I had Chevy Caprice -93 i disconnected it(easy, just one connector) and connected it only for the MOT-inspection. In wet snow ABS can almost make stopping the car impossible, and it lengthens braking distance in a dangerous way. Most people would be very surprised if they could try their cars in certain winter conditions with- and without ABS.

ABS has saved a lot of lives, including my own. I would always choose a car with ABS. But people are under the mistaken idea that with ABS you should always slam on the brakes. There are situations where that works and situations where you need to tap, tap, tap like the old days. But good snow tires and ABS can be a life saver. Another tip: if you live where it only snows occasionally, so no snow tires, invest in a cheap set of cable chains. They don't take up any room. Just toss them in the trunk and forget about them until you need them.....but try them on first so you know they fit properly.

I put studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 tires on my Mazda 3 in the winter (foothills of Colorado Rockies), and they are amazing on black ice and snowy hills. It's almost impossible to lose traction while riding on these beasts. Finland knows how to do this right!

I'm in Canada and we just had a storm the last couple of days, dumped a lot of heavy wet snow on us. I have always used winter tires on my vehicles Makes a huge difference during the winter for those that have to deal with snow and ice. Oh and for those sliding downhills. Try shifting down to low gear and ease off on the brakes. The worst thing one can do is lock up their brakes.

Yup. A major issue I see over here in the states is that folks just simply use the right tires at all. I never cheap out on them simply because it’s the one thing that connects you to the road so it matters the most. You could have the best brakes in the world, but if you don’t have the right tires and have cheap junk or like in this situation, all season tires instead of a dedicated winter tire then the result speaks for itself.

Most of these people had snow tires except the ford at the end. I live in the Northern Rockies (BC) and most people around here run studded winter tires. They rarely salt the roads here because at -25C salt does nothing, occasionally they will drop sand/ gavel at intersections but don't do entire roads and highways. A couple years ago we had 3 weeks of sheer ice on all the roads and you'd swear they plowed the roads with a Zamboni. Sometimes you need to use common sense and just stay home, work or whatever the hell you were planning to do can wait.

This video makes me remember and appreciate my old truck though. It was a F250 4WD with a stick, and one morning leaving for work it was like this and I had to go down a hill steeper than this to get out to the main road. I put it in 4WD and granny low first gear and I was able to just creep down the hill with no issues whatsoever. As soon as you hit the brakes it would slide, but in gear and rolling it was perfectly fine.

FOR EVERYBODY : WHEN YOUR CAR GO DOWN TO ICE NEVER, AND NEVER PUSH THE BRAKE.LET THE CAR IN FIRST GEAR OR SECOND GEAR, you have more controll to the car tyres .

Or just get some spiked tires that can deal with almost every thinkable winter conditions that apply on and near roads. If any of these cars had spiked tires they could have gotten both up and down that road with minimal issues.

Excellent video

When in their ride “down” did it dawn on them that they’ll have to drive back “up” at some point??

Yeah so If I was ever driving anywhere in the snow and I saw someone standing on the side of the road filming, I would automatically hit the brakes and turn around. A person filming is all the proof I need that the hill is to slippery to attempt.

This is why I refuse to leave my house or if I have to, avoid negotiating hills. I had to drive to work during some of the hideous snow storms last winter. I may have taken an hr for a 10 minute drive but I got there safely and without incident.

6:39 cocky SUV driver thought they were invincible to all weather- learned the hard way you still have to go slow on ice, no matter the vehicle!

Sandbags in the back help on ice and snow. More weight in back gives rear wheels better traction for climbing and stopping. And always use lowest gear when going downhill. It allows the transmission and engine to keep the car crawling down the hill. Tall gear will allow the car to freely coast down too fast.

That excuse never worked for me. At my one job I owned a 1987 Town Car & my Supervisor owned a 1986 Crown Victoria. Everything almost the same. I tried it once. He told me no excuses. If he could make it in, then I could.

Let's go to driving courses guys! You are killers on the roads.

Makes me wonder, how many Americans, can drive a manual. At least you have clutch control.

The first truck was pretty smart...maybe. never tied using the parking brake so that the front wheels stay freely spinning even in the rears lock up. I'll have to try that this winter.

I own the exact same car as the guy at 4:00 and I live in South Charleston, WV. This was a very, very realistic test for me.

Sometimes you need to know when to admit defeat before getting behind the wheel. Just stay home 🏠 .

My first experience with blizzak tires was on a steep curvy road at 20 mph. You couldn't go any faster because how hard the curves were. I slammed on the brakes going down hill at 20 maybe 25. My car never slid but stopped. I was holy crap this is awesome. To this day I swear by blizzak tires. Awesome tires for the snow and ice.

Let me tell you about driving in the snow and ice. I was traveling from Charlotte to northern New York and decided to go through WV (By the way I love WV and riding the rapids). Well I got sidetracked, at 76 I do that occasionally. As I started up into the mountains the snow picked up really heavy so at around 2:00 AM I found me a local to follow figuring he would have all the experience and know what, when and where to go. Well everything went well for the first hour until we met with the first oncoming car which he proceeded to destroy with a head on collision. After that I found my own way for the rest of the trip.

You just sit and record them as they're sliding? LOL That's priceless. Do you at least wave as they glide by? LOL

Imagine you see a guy recording all the time while you struggle to get down there Like he is just waiting for accidents kinda nasty

i think the driver of the silver pickup at the beginning did the best job at assessing the slippery snow situation.

This is a perfect example of why anti-lock braking is only suited for certain situations but not all. The old fashioned pump the brakes would have helped these people and you cannot steer when you are braking as evidenced by this video. Life long winter driver here but what do I know.

This has to be the longest nothing that I’ve ever done it just goes on for ever

Why do I enjoy videos as this one? I don't miss the snow at all.

I've come back once again to be reminded why it takes twice as long or more to get to and from work in winter in West Virginia. Good ole Mountain State.

its called winter tires, look there is no law in the USA to make these mandatory during winters so people don't use them and they wonder why this happens...

+varitok Yeah, because in most of Europe they aren't completely necessary. In most places, you can use your summer tires because the roads are cleaned, and where they aren't cleaned, all season tires are enough. The problem is people with old 4X4's with no ABS and old summer tires. It's like putting ice skates on your feet AND hands and just walking on all four's. You are still going to slide about, you will just look more stupid doing it.

+Newgenerationisbg , in Germany its law to use winter tires, if you get caught without you will have serious problems even with your insurance.

when you buy a 2 wheel drive SUV or Truck in North, you should prepare for that.

Most of the trouble is the brakes and the powertrain battling it out. Shifting into neutral removes the powertrain's forward momentum and gives you much better control.

The nice thing about Idaho Falls is there are very few hills here. I can't imagine trying to navigate hills like this when it's frozen.

Seems like nobody without ABS knows how to pump the brakes.

A lot of abs systems in those conditions give up and don't work, as a friend of mine found out when he gently slid into two cars at three mph!. Cadence braking where you hit the brake pedal hard and repeatedly is the best way to maintain control, abs works the same way but your foot doesn't depend on sensors and computers.

I give credit to most of them for going as slowly as possible..........

@twoeightythreez

They were going too slow. if they would have gone a little faster, say 10mph, they would still have had steering control.

Every year i love the new parts i get from the junk yards. Wrecked cars are the best for used engines most of the time.

When confronted with sliding, especially down hill, it is wise to know how and when to incorporate "neutral" gear in your method of control When wheels are not turning, it is easier to manover in most instances. When you take off the friction, it helps.

Some days it's just better to take inventory of what you got in the house, make do, and stay home.

i watching that i live where its snow i notice alot of people hitting the brakes that one mistake when going down hill for manuels put in 4wd in high high lock hubs and stay in first gear in automatics put it lowest gear you have

2:29 nice old ram and 1st gen neon. howd that do going down the hill?

Wow im surprised that Old Corolla Wagon is still on the road. My 2000 Corolla is still going strong but shes very rusty underneath. Here in Ontario cars rust out so badly. It's from all the road Salt. Do they spread it in West Virgina to?

Just the msg for the ford driver, stay home you have know idea driving in snow!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂

First gear...from what I remember, all, or at least most, vehicles have a First Gear. Also: Anybody here remember a little something called snow-chains? They're easy to use, and they're very effective, too! Any AutoZone, O'Riley's, or Advance Automotive Store should have just what you need. They'd most certainly prevent sliding down a hill like this. People driving without chains on In this kind of weather make about as much sense, as Larry the Cable Guy used to say, as somebody wipin' their butt before they poop! It don't make sense at all!

Let go of the brakes.. Please! Point the front wheels where you want to go (preferably not somewhere 90* away) ease off the brakes. Some of those vehicles had ABS but the drivers were going to slow to utilize it and kept stopping. Point where you want to go.. and just ease off the brakes.. don't tramp on them. Put the car in low if you can.. it will help greatly even in an automatic. There was a nice fresh layer of snow on top of this ice to provide some traction.

+spdwebdotnet In this situation, it would also help to put the parking brake on just a little, put the transmission into "Neutral", and just drift down the hill at slow speed. The front wheels will keep rolling, which will make it possible to guide the car to the bottom.

I'mA Theist With front wheel-drive autos, you need just a little drag on the back end to keep from drifting sideways. You can then keep control of the vehicle with small movements of the steering wheel rather than jerking the wheel back and forth as most people are prone to doing. And with the car in "Neutral" you don't have the engine trying to pull the car.

@ilovejesus925

Newgenerationisbg Carl Bruschnig, Jr Bad idea. If the hand brake is applied too much the rear wheels will lock up and the car would spin around 180°. Carl Bruschnig, Jr In low gear the engine would prevent the car from accelerating down the hill. If it's in neutral you can't use the engine when necessary. I have used the engine as a brake method many times successfully in the past. Combined with VERY light braking I can navigate down the hill with very little wheel slippage nearly every time. It works just as well with FWD and RWD and even better with 4WD. I have been driving for 34 years (I'm 52 btw) and the winters in Illinois can get brutal at times. My parents have even suggested that I drive for them in the winter and they used to live at the top of a hill. Yes, I know EXACTLY what I am talking about.

@newgenerationisbg

I'mA Theist Nah, at that speed, even if you lock up the rear wheels, you would have enough time to make yourself a cup of tea before the car spins around that much. First gear would help, but depending on the angle of the hill, it might be a bad idea. If it's too steep, and covered in ice, the car will likely slide down without transferring a lot of energy to the engine. Though there is an obvious advantage to keeping it in gear, you can drag yourself to one side if you turn the wheels in that direction and give it a little bit of gas. It would be preferable to hitting a car or pedestrian. Just slam into the sidewalk or a pile of snow (or the ditch).

I've never driven on a snow/icy road before. Is it the same as thick, slippery mud???? Does the 4 wheel drive mode not work in these conditions????

The fairly new feature in automatic vehicles ( sports shift feature ) has been a game changer in driving down hill in a snow storm.
