@The Sounds of Chicago Knight Yes, but this was not the case.

In Canada, before conditions become as bad as this, there are always a ton of salt trucks on the road to make sure this doesn't happen. In Texas, seeing this is extremely rare, I don't expect drivers to be prepared for driving in this condition.

@russaman1000

SgtRic58 actually it goes in these order 1. don’t go out if not necessary. 2. keep your distance and slow down. 3. no sudden breaking or turning the wheel. 4. when you start fish tailing let off the gas. feet off the break. steer towards the direction of fishes tail. don’t over do it just small adjustments to correct it. 5. once you’ve regained control pull over to the side and calm your nerves. this might be a good time to check yourself and the passengers if they shitted themselves. 6. if you can’t do step 1-5 stay home you’ll only endanger yourself and others on the road.

Slow down a lot before the icy stretch of road.. Drive straight with no sudden turns,braking or momentum changes. This comes from 30+ years of Northern Canadian off road trucking experience. A frozen bridge deck just ease off accelerator and coast across. Sounds simple but if this ice condition is foreign to you it certainly can be a challenge

Bridges and overpasses are common to ice faster due to no geo thermal energy form the ground.

It’s Houston, it almost never gets this cold there. I’m in NE Texas, it gets cold here but only 1 or 2 days of snow here would be normal and never this cold for this long. I spent a few years in New England, this reminds me of Connecticut .

It is just on an over pass. Keep a steady speed no abrupt movements and keep going.

The moment your GPS glitches and you follow the voice directions. "Turn around when possible"

perfect example for sign that says "bridge freezes before the rest of the road"

0:16 Guy in the white truck screwed up, big time. If he'd have put it in reverse he would gotten right off the bridge onto the non-frozen road surface. You can tell these people hardly ever see ice, because that's the most rookie mistake you can make.

This is why we use winter tyres and lots of salt in Germany.

Thanks Top Gear for telling me how to survive Left the tires at 15 psi And weeeeeee

Do they have winter tires in America?

What year were trucks made without recurve

Taxes are lower in Texas, _____ and a part of the reason is that they do not spend enough money on salting and sanding their roadways during and after such storms. In states such as NY and NJ where ice and snow storms are more common the taxes are higher partially because the roads are far better maintained during storms and we do not see many multi-vehicle pileups on our highways in NY or NJ. So basically what Texas is doing is risking drivers lives and causing many wrecks of their vehicles on unsalted and un-sanded icy roads to save tax money.

Is the water in Galveston warm?

Video would be better if you had the theme song from Benny hill playing

Notice how the guy spun out IN FRONT OF THE FIRE TRUCK Firefighters like: we already cleaned up one wreck don't make us do more

At this point in the day there should be salt and sand on this road

Moral of the story....dont buy a Toyota tacoma.

Fire truck lost momentum, not cool

Drive a little faster, by the time you realize you are sliding you are already over the icy patch?

This is what happens when you buy your drivers licence.

There you can see the section, of the bridge is covered in black ice.

Most drivers have no business being on the road with these conditions. They simply don't have the necessary skills.

@sean2015

I live in Fargo, and driving on icy roads really isn't a "skill" you can develop (especially if it's black ice). I guess the only thing I've learned from living here is just to drive more slowly, and try to anticipate ice based on the temperature and presence of precipitation such as snow, sleet or ice. 4WD vehicles are obviously a great investment but some people can't afford it. I keep a shovel in my trunk to dig myself out in case I wind up in the ditch (which I've actually had to do once, after I skidded off the road at a cloverleaf). But plenty of times I've seen cars that are in the median upside down, with the lights on and the wheels still spinning. Even people who live here don't know how to drive during the winter, lol. I've also got a homemade 'winter survival kit' in my car which includes an extra jacket, hat, gloves, a blanket, matches and some candles. Enough things to keep me warm while waiting if I ever needed roadside assistance. Our winters here are no joke.

Knowing your car and how it reacts when it loses traction and how to correct is is something you learn very quickly when you drive in it enough. The guy in the video lost traction, panicked then locked his brakes and over corrected. It’s a common mistake a lot of young or new drivers make up north.
