Well as you can see in the video EVERYONE had their brakes locked up. I live in Texas and almost never have to drive in this kind of weather (unless I am traveling) but I do know that you NEVER lock your breaks up when you start to lose traction. If you start to lose traction all you have to do is let off the gas and turn into the skid and you will straighten up then tap the breaks to slow down so you wont lose traction again.
wow i hate that the best car for thoses conditions the subaru legacy is all over dramatitic because he slid like two feet and thought he was gonna die
There is a lot of talk about brake pumping and ABS. I seriously think most people have never driven on the completely frictionless surface that is left immediately after freezing rain. If the conditions are just right, no amount of ABS or pumping or 4WD or winter tires will slow you down. The real bad driving in this video comes from people who are travelling WAY too fast. The city should also invest in some salt.
He didnt put up a sign that told cars to go the wrong way and he did not put up a sign that said road closed. Putting up a sign to warn drivers on ice. that is the nicest thing I have heard someone do. I work for the highway department and I wish people would read signs. It is not his fault if the cars crashed unless he caused it. So ignore everyone else and do that durring the next storm.
grow up people! he put a sign up and thats good enough. its not his job to make SURE that everyone does what he syas. at least he was kind enough to do it. they slid and it was their own fault bcuz they were driving too fast. common sense says "Ice:drive SLOW"
Forgive me if this sounds a dumb question but dont you have gritting lorries in the US that throw down "grit" (salt) on the roads? Obviiusly some people cant read signs but boy!!
yeah but not in seattle it snow about twice a year. in other states wher it snow a lot they take proper care of the roads all winter and put "grit" on them..
Yes, we have grit (usually sand) vehicles. In my neighborhood, just outside Seattle, I've seen the aftermath of what I can only guess was a sanding truck that refused to go down a steep hill: drivers would go over the crest of the hill and go instantly from gritty traction to solid ice. This hill had lots of parked cars, and people would hit them, and/or slam on the brake and go spinning.
We do in Canada, and I'm sure any American city that sees any sort of snowfall do as well, but they can't go out salting every residential road the second it ices up, first they have to do highways, then main roads, then surface streets, and then residential
Um, I'm actually fairly sure that every car OTHER than the last two and that pickup had ABS (But I'm not sure about the CR-V, ours hasnt got ABS, but it is a true base model)
This is why America turning into land of cover your ass and lawsuits. Instead of fixing the problem when you know it exists - people point the finger or say "it aint my job" or "but I put up a sign".
If you say you didn't put no sign - then okay, maybe it aint your job. But to blame the drivers cuz then didn't heed your warning - well that invites all the criticism you got. Did you call the city maint. dept. and tell them? Don't just stand around - do something!
i say if the dumb ass people in the cars took the risk to go out and drive they got what was coming to them. put some salt down one cried: or sand another said you are as dumb as these people in the cars. i say go fu** yourself and put your own sand down
Wow. I'm not sure where you live, but where I live, they salt roads regularly to prevent this from happening. If the city let a major road get this icy, someone would lose their job. It is an essential city service. No one "puts their own sand" on public roads. Do you paint your own lane lines on public roads? Do you install your own traffic lights on public roads? You make no sense.
Because that is not his job and are you going to pay for all that slat and sand? And who is going to pick up the liability if he only gets it half salted and creates a bigger hazard resulting in an accident, possibly even a roll over. And while we're asking, will you covering his health insurance in case someone runs in to him while he is being a good citizen?
Really? Are you serious? With the amount of stupidity that is prevalent today, he could have put a gate across the road and I wouldn't be surprised if as many people just opened the gate and drove on through.
No one read your sign because they all think they have the experience to handle these kinds of road conditions, until they get into a slippery situation. Some people are just born retarded. P.T. Barnum once said, " there's a sucker born every minute." Even people with 4x4's spin out.
I live on a similiar street in Seattle and boy it was entertaining to watch all the idiots. I say 'idiots' because there was a "snow closure" sign at the top of the hill.
didn't I hear that you aren't going to use salt ny more in WA to save the environment? Sounds like the body shops got some friends in government out there.
look at all these dickheads locking the brakes... i seen it in all the ice road videos... if they learn not to panic like little girls and just pump the brakes, plus if they weren't going so fast in the first place, then they wouldn't have become yet anither statistic
or or or or or or u can buy a tank and stfu. Serious it's driver skill & common sense. Tires and 4wd are dead machinery, just tools. You need to learn to control your vehicle. If someone is spinning out down an icy hill don't follow!
Today there was a foot of snow and -15 degrees centigrade in my town, I called off work, deciding that it simply was too dangerous to even go near my car, let alone drive it.
You should have had a sign that said, "Little old ladies crossing, children at play, and banana peels and marbles on the road ahead." Maybe they would have gotten the hint!
chains or studs are only illeagal thru surtan times of the year basicly (winter) and abs is for when your accelerating not braking just dont lock up the brakes and tap them and youll be fine
I think you mean that the other way around Abs stands for anti lock braking system. you know,... keeps tires from locking and slidding, your thinking about tration control which engages the brakes to prevent tire slip in bad weather
In Wisconsin they're illegal 24/7, 365 (and why would they not be allowed IN winter?). And it's ABS, I believe your thinking of traction control systems.
I have seen so many videos like this here on youtube and none of you yanks seem to have abs? What is up with that? Of course ABS will help in this scenario, trust me I know for we have nasty conditions here in Switzerland also. ABS is what keeps jetliners from skidding of the runway! If you do ever encounter this scenario and you are sliding and have zero control then pull the handbrake and use it to lock to back wheels and then use your steering gently to s avoid obstacles. Get studded tires!
Chains and studded tires are illegal in most areas, with the noted exception of the mountains. And ABS won't help you one bit when the car is sliding sideways even withOUT touching the brakes.
The thing is that when you have ABS you wont be sliding sideways in the first place. The only reason these cars are like cows on Ice is because the wheel are locking up.
This is why I don't go out on days like today. I am a reasonably cautious and skilled driver in the snow, but I fear for my life with people like those on the road with me.
For Vehicles equiped with ABS (anti-lock brake system) which most cars are now...pumping brakes isnt necessary, that system electronically reads when your car needs to have it done... blah blah etc. And you should really check your facts b4 posting such outspoken proclaimations. The average car insurance for men is higher the women because studies prove women drive safer...contrary to popular belief that women are horrible drivers.
I know how ABS works, I work on the systems. Allot of people would not know to pump the brake on older vehicles or some newer vehicles without ABS. I did not mean to say all that, I had a bad day and got cut off by a couple women. haha We get people all the time coming in saying they have this light on that says 'ABS', many of them don't even know their vehicle has it let alone what it does.
ABS doesn't do much, its slightly better than not having it...and men are more wreckless and offensive drivers...women are more feeble minded and stupid when they drive.
I was never more scared for my life on the roads then when I visited a foreign country. Anyone who's been in and out of American knows what I'm talking about.
most of you foreigners seem to not understand that North America has a far south and a far north. people that live far north where it snows alot are excellent drivers in snow, people more south that are not use to driving in snow doesn't fair so well. another thing i've seen plunty of videos on youtube where people from other countries drive way worse then Americans ever could and on good dry surfaces...
It snows once or twice a year in Seattle, most people have no idea how to drive on ice. I grew up further inland where we would have snow on the ground from October to April, and everyone knew how to get around. I now live in Seattle, and am amazed how poor their winter driving skills are, but also realize they don't have much practice.
Yes but with a 4WD basic one such as an older 4X4 then all for wheels are connected so if one locks they all do,if that makes sense, whereas in 2wd if one locks the worst is that one other does, and its a rear wheel on a FWD car then maybe only that wheel locks.Rob
the last car made it quickly to the stop, without having to slide on its side. and it stopped quickly enough. this is what you get for having a subaru. its tough on any condition... bmw would do well also.
yea i was going to say it like that. anyways.... being a good driver + having subaru/bmw = stopping good in weather like this. having a beat up chevy/gm/ or the worst... dodge... + tailgaiter/harddriver will only get you so far on the road. but having chevy/gm/dodge, will have a high incident rate regardless of good driver or not. anyways. yes i was going to say it like that. good man, knows his cars.
To the guy who said abs doesn't do shit on ice, it sure does, try slamming on the brakes without abs on the highway, you'll probably spin around a few times, abs won't make you stop shorter but it will keep you in a straight line (for the most part)
ABS is a life saver period, and i know it first hand. Some idiot ran accros road in front of traffic, and the dump truck in front of me had chains. He hit his brakes and stopped no problem, but Me and the 18 wheeler behind me couldnt, and like every human I Slammed the brakes. Had I not had abs, I would have helplessly slid into the truck and been severly injured being rear ended by a fully loaded 18-wheeler who hit the dump truck doing 45km/h!
ok the guy on :45 needs to be a driving instructor for winter parallel parking holy crap.... and the guy in :49 needs to have his license yanked plain and simple i would be scared driving anywhere near him.
lol this reminds me of when an ice storm hit near my school in North Carolina. People kept coming down a hill and they couldn't stop their cars so they slowly slid down hitting eachother. This one guy just threw up his hands as he slowly slid into another car it was hilarious.
The Subaru was the only car who made it down the hill without losing traction. He or she had a little experience of driving on ice! 1. Don't hit the brakes!
hahaha xD Maybe they'll listen this year? xP

most of you foreigners seem to not understand that North America has a far south and a far north. people that live far north where it snows alot are excellent drivers in snow, people more south that are not use to driving in snow doesn't fair so well. another thing i've seen plunty of videos on youtube where people from other countries drive way worse then Americans ever could and on good dry surfaces...

It snows once or twice a year in Seattle, most people have no idea how to drive on ice. I grew up further inland where we would have snow on the ground from October to April, and everyone knew how to get around. I now live in Seattle, and am amazed how poor their winter driving skills are, but also realize they don't have much practice.

4WD is almost a bad thing here,since when u lock wheels is easier to lock all 4 at once, losing control.Rob
Robzx10R 3 years ago
Uh, well if you use brakes on any car it's going to lock all 4 at the same time. AWD and 4WD have nothing to do with which wheels the brakes effect.
Pulling the e-brake (parking brake) would lock the rears only though.
slandshark 3 years ago
Yes but with a 4WD basic one such as an older 4X4 then all for wheels are connected so if one locks they all do,if that makes sense, whereas in 2wd if one locks the worst is that one other does, and its a rear wheel on a FWD car then maybe only that wheel locks.Rob

some drivers are stupid and they think they can beat the ice. Nobody can beat ice. You should have attempted to break up the ice lol

the last car made it quickly to the stop, without having to slide on its side. and it stopped quickly enough. this is what you get for having a subaru. its tough on any condition... bmw would do well also.
youngb1ood 3 years ago
i think the subaru stopped more quickly because the driver turned but subarus are beast
syedkid 3 years ago
yea i was going to say it like that. anyways.... being a good driver + having subaru/bmw = stopping good in weather like this. having a beat up chevy/gm/ or the worst... dodge... + tailgaiter/harddriver will only get you so far on the road. but having chevy/gm/dodge, will have a high incident rate regardless of good driver or not. anyways. yes i was going to say it like that. good man, knows his cars.

In America there is not much opportunity to drive on ice, thankfully. It would be like watching you stay on a surfboard. It's relative. Grow up.

To the guy who said abs doesn't do shit on ice, it sure does, try slamming on the brakes without abs on the highway, you'll probably spin around a few times, abs won't make you stop shorter but it will keep you in a straight line (for the most part)

ABS is a life saver period, and i know it first hand. Some idiot ran accros road in front of traffic, and the dump truck in front of me had chains. He hit his brakes and stopped no problem, but Me and the 18 wheeler behind me couldnt, and like every human I Slammed the brakes. Had I not had abs, I would have helplessly slid into the truck and been severly injured being rear ended by a fully loaded 18-wheeler who hit the dump truck doing 45km/h!

That Beetle in the foreground is probably the best car on this for driving in the snow. Weight over driving (trans)axle.

Maybe in snow, but on ice like that you need studed tires or like the last car a AWD Subaru.

lol this reminds me of when an ice storm hit near my school in North Carolina. People kept coming down a hill and they couldn't stop their cars so they slowly slid down hitting eachother. This one guy just threw up his hands as he slowly slid into another car it was hilarious.

Don't you have winter tyres?
tiiff1 3 years ago
The Subaru was the only car who made it down the hill without losing traction. He or she had a little experience of driving on ice! 1. Don't hit the brakes!
2. drive slowly!
3. Keep your god damn eyes on the road!:D
