I want to address the "why didn't you warn people" critics on this video. There are several reasons why this is a completely unreasonable thing to expect me to do. First, of all, these videos are shot during winter storms when roads and bridges are icy across multiple states. Authorities and DOT crews are well aware of the conditions, in fact, you can see plows working during my videos. Furthermore, police officers have told me to stop trying to warn drivers roadside. Their vehicles with bright flashing lights are often hit by out of control cars and trucks. Do you get winter weather (ice and snow) where you live? I'm assuming then, if you are one of those who think that it is somehow effective or advisable for civilians to be waving down drivers/putting up signs on the side of a dangerously icy road, that YOU do this where you live during winter storms? If not, then why do you expect ANYONE to do it, especially TV cameramen out doing their jobs? Can you cite one example of where you've seen this civilian "roadside warning" during winter storms being performed and it being effective? Ask what law enforcement and EMS personnel think of this idea, when their big vehicles with bright flashing lights are routinely hit by out of control drivers. The "why don't you warn" idea is a knee-jerk one by people who aren't at all thinking about what they are saying. Furthermore, there are videos on my channel that show me warning drivers during bridge icing in the South - one of those rare times that it had even a remote chance of working. And even then, I could not get people to notice me unless I stepped into the road IN FRONT OF THEM, frantically waving. Police officers on the scene told me to NOT to do it. I have spent 9 years on the icyroadsafety.com site trying to educate and warn the driving public AHEAD OF TIME. It's just incredible how some think I should put my life on the line along icy roads in a futile attempt to prevent a couple of fender benders. If you think that this roadside warning is something that should be done, then I expect YOU to try doing it yourself in your neighborhood during the next winter storm - then tell me how it went for you. I would also like you to ask any police officer or first responder what they think of your actions.

The same over-steer and under-steer principles of physics apply, and I'm not convinced that either pulling or pushing the weight of the car in a winter slide has an advantage over the other. It's all about the 'intangible forces' of the moment combined with whatever skill and calm reaction a driver can command in a crisis. I think that 4WD and variants of All-Wheel-Drive have *_definitely_* made people complacent and too assured.

Black ice is definitely the worst ! Stay safe out there people, getting ready to see what this winter has to offer 😅

I was wondered who would stay alert to film the cars in the snowy weather. Get a Life man..

I found the car spinning out in snow compilation very scary. The moment at 5:38 was particularly intense, as the car not only spun out of control but also blew up into flames. It's a reminder of just how dangerous driving in snowy conditions can be and how important it is to take precautions and drive slower in such conditions. It's a miracle that the driver managed to get out alive of control but also blew up. It's a good reminder of the dangers of driving in snowy conditions and the importance of being cautious and prepared. It's fortunate that there were no apparent injuries from the explosion, but it's still a sobering reminder of how quickly things can go wrong on the road. Stay safe out there, and make sure to take extra precautions when driving in challenging weather.

Most people are really bad drivers, that's why.

I grew up driving in ice and snow but moved to Washington DC area for a decade. Drivers from warm places all over the country and world come there and put on a master class of what not to do in a car on slippery roads. My favorites are steering into the skid but simultaneously locking the brakes, making any steering input useless. The big spin outs in these videos always have three brake lights on, and the recoveries frequently do not. Another is slipping on an icy incline and flooring it (because faster = more traction right?) then watching the car go sideways into a parked car or roadside obstacle.

I remember driving down a ramp from one parkway to another. It wasn’t snowing nor was there any ice,but just a wet slick part which was affected from rain. My car slid sideways and came to a stop. But looking to the passenger side and there was a bigger sliding sideways and right there I thought,uh oh gonna have an accident. But luckily it stopped..whew

I think what actually happened is the bridge iced first so the wheels lost traction. Once the wheels transitioned to the other pavement they suddenly caught grip again and that’s what flung him off the road.

If I'm not mistaken, that icy bridge shown in so many of these clips is the Schuylkill Expressway in Pennsylvania. Known otherwise in local parlance as the SureKill Expressway 😉

The first time I spun on black ice I instantly gained a whole lot of respect for safe winter driving! It's scares the life out of you. I was lucky no one was driving close to me and that I stopped before I smashed into the poles of a big road sign.

11/15/2018--1st winter storm in NE USA, I was in RWD Volvo with Nokian All Weather tires, going 5 mph, in my lane, but got hit by a young girl in an AWD Honda who lost control--she was overtaking another car that was going too slow for her. I am going to get dedicated Winter tires--the all weather is good, but cannot compare to dedicated winter tires. If I had had the dedicated winter tires on, I would not have been there to be hit, but home already. Used to use dedicated winter tires, but then changed to all weather--just not as good.

More like David Attenbourough: "And now, here we see the common idiot driver, 'automobile idioticus incredibli', in its natural habitat. "Watch, as this incredibly stupid creature hurtles along at insane speeds, totally oblivious to the changing road conditions until suddenly, without warning, it slides and crashes into road signs, barriers and even other creatures, knocking pieces of both its own and its fellow creature's carapace flying, often amid spectacular showers of sparks. "These creatures seem incapable of rational thought since, when faced with an emergency situation, their only response is to jam on the brakes, causing their slide to worsen and removing all chance of control. "This is an incredible sight and how these creatures have not yet gone extinct is truly one of the wonders of nature."

I love the fact that most of this is video is just the same bridge and pretty much the same accident every time

people tend to forget that bridges get icy easier, like a lot easier, as seen at 0:55. The reason being that it also gets cooled from below, unlike the road, which only gets the cold air from above (sand is pretty good at keeping the heat) You can clearly see the surface is shinier on the bridge part at the mentioned clip, as well as the truck sliding and then suddenly finding grip. p.s.: As far as I can see there are no "Caution, slippery" signs before the bridges, which is a must here in Hungary

I don't understand why I find it relaxing to watch this after I slide out on black ice. It somehow comforts me.

True true boii😂😂. I see them constantly. These bunch of crack heads thinkingthe fwd is better than rwd. It is actually worse, because if you fully lose control you are going to crash very badly. The best is to have 4wd with winter tires and you are pretty much set up for even ice, of cource not driving like a maniac. I tried to spin the tires on my 4runner 2nd gen 2.4 td so I put it in 2 wheel drive on a corner and that thing barely spin😂😂. It's because of the solid chassi and heavy weight mainly. So first you have to know how to drive, and to drive well under these conditions you have to crash or atleast lose control a couple of times so you know what your vehicle and you are capable of! Do you agree?

Nothing worse than those magnetic light poles.

I drove in Pennsylvania during winter weather when I was young (I learned to drive there, but was trained by my father who grew up in Michigan, so I understood how to recover skids and deal with icy conditions (I'd take the care to a parking lot and intentionally skid it to learn how to control it)). PA was filled with drivers who just didn't know how to handle these conditions (since in that state they are fairly rare). Most people here are making very basic errors. You'll see many with their tires/wheels not turning since they are pressing the brakes constantly rather than pumping them gently to get SOME braking but also keep some level of traction. Black ice can be quite treacherous if you aren't trained to handle it. Going too fast, not pumping the brakes, not overcorrecting in a skid.. these are very easy mistakes to make in the moment when you are very scared of the possible outcomes. The only way to learn is to go out and do it under controlled conditions until you have some confidence in your skill but also a very healthy amount of respect for just how dangerous the conditions are.

While hitting the brakes makes it a lot harder to get out of the spin, sometimes not hitting the brakes will just result in a collision at a faster speed, kinda just depends how close you are to hitting something when you lose control

I'm in Pa and a few years ago it iced and then snowed on top of the ice. Not even a lot of snow. But i was trying to get home from work and there were accidents everywhere. I would get turned around to take a different route and there would be another accident blocking the road. This went on 5 times and i was slipping and sliding everywhere but finally managed to get home a lot later than usual. When i finally reached my driveway, i just sat and looked at my house for awhile not believing i made it safe and sound somehow.

Tips for you guys, during winter the bridge will always be cooler than ground. You can see the snow on the manhole will always melted first bc the heat from the ground. The bridge is flooding in the air, so it touches the cold air from both up and down side which makes it cooler than ground.
