Little Rock get's about 4 inches of snow a year. Most these people don't realize their "All Season" tires are useless below freezing temps and especially in ice. A FWD car with snow tires will get going faster than a 4X4 with "All Seasons" and will more importantly keep you from loosing traction. Can't really blame them for not knowing how to keep control in the snow and ice. But, you can blame them for leaving their house in the first place when they know they can't keep control of their car in the snow and ice.
Caleb Rice thats how most normal drivers would handle the situation where i live in Sweden.... We drive in thoose conditions every 6 months.... Its called winter where i live.... hehe ;)
@steve b Not luck. Watch the video, everyone who lets off the brakes regains control. You don't slow down, but you can steer away from trouble...just like the boxtruck.
It's common sense lol you can roll it to wherever you want but once you lock the brakes you turn into a 4000 lb Sled.. which I gotta say is hilarious watching them slide around.so thanks.
The man in the cube van deserves a medal! Also, there would be less accidents like these if people realized that locking their wheels truly does not help in these situations.
***** I think they think that the car will get itself out of harm's way. Everything is computerized in newer cars now. We've become too reliant on computers
Quickest Rendezvous very true. I'm still driving old cars though. 98 jeep xj and a 1991 f350 7.3L diesel crew cab long bed. So I get plenty of practice on ice. I don't drive any of the newer vehicles in the winter. I stick those in the garage.
***** Good deal, my mom has a 2013 Chevy Sonic and it will just randomly spin out on snow/ice because of its traction control. Never buy a Chevy with traction control! Very faulty. I do like Chevy other than that and a few of their poorly built cars, but what car brand doesn't have 'a few' poorly built vehicles?
A little hint: when your wheels are locked you have no steering at all. Then, if you stop, you don't leave your vehicle where others can slide down and hit it. Especially when you're at the _bottom_ of the hill.
too many drivers don't realize that locking up the wheels and standing on the brake will not make it stop faster, but only cause it to slide out of control. Realizing that getting off the brake to let the wheels roll and temporarily gain traction again to steer, then carefully tapping or pumping the brakes is a concept that is lost on most drivers.

@@MrBigredtaco99 I remember one winter riding my bicycle when all the cars were wrecking on ice. Riding a bike on ice is much more difficult than operating a car. I had to get somewhere and the roads were clogged with wrecked cars. It was so bad most people couldn’t even walk.

It's ironic that the states with little or no annual snowfall have all these drivers that think they can drive in it like it's nothing more than a little moisture on the road. Every person in a state that gets any type of snow every winter knows not to attempt this shit. Weather didn't cause these accidents, every single one of them was caused by a human.
It's Ice under the snow. Arkansas doesn't have much funding for snow plows like the northern states do. They put sand on whys and main roads. This road in particular, has very high hills everywhere. Also the employer's expect their staff to show up. But the rest of the idiots have no business driving in the mess!!!
That guy in the Hyundai seriously thought he could get away? You'd think he would have noticed the camera. Any word on what happened to him? I assume he was caught.
Yes, they should not have left the car in the road. You don't just say oh well and leave your car in the street. That's what caused the problem in the first place. So what if they were sliding? Grow some balls and figure it out.
Austin .. That lady had a good point .. Right??!! .. seems she left her car (2:49) in the middle of the road... (notice the last collision 4:35 was on 'Her' car left in the middle of the road)..

Guess what Angelina Lopez, l still have the common sense and ability to navigate the streets, amazing.
Thats why I drive a manual shifted car and use Skandinavian winter tires. They are really made for winter conditions. This says a European Trucker, who drives on ice and snow for more than 40 years - without an accident. Btw all seasons tires are shit. They are nonsens in summer and nonsense kn winter
I call them no seasons. So many people think they are great and the tire dealers push them. I wont have them on any rig. AT for summer and Winter tires for winter. Blizzaks have worked great for me.
same for me. grabber at2 in the summer, blizzak dm-v2 in the winter. probably gonna go for a highway tire when it's time to replace the ATs though, with hope for better mileage. or at least sideways grip in the rain.
It's just amazing how many people lock their wheels in those circumstances. That't the worst thing you can do, and the truckdriver seems to be the only one who knows it. :-)

@@philtucker1224 So you're one of them 🤣 Surely you realise that "FULL STOP" is not the only option? How about applying brakes GENTLY so the wheels maintain grip?

I went to Ark-kansas once. Was gonna order a BBQ pork sandwich, but locals i was staying with said don't. Seems the pig is their state animal and folks would've got right upset if i did ...
I'm from Houston Texas, and, frankly, we hardly see any of these types of events. Last one was last year (2021) with that massive winter storm that froze Texas. Before that...I would say 2004, maybe. Before that it was 1997. So, we do get freezing weather at times, but usually there no precipitation associated with it, so there's never any ice on the roads. So, we don't get icy situations often enough to hone in our driving skills. You guys in New York gets this type of winter every year. We get one every 7 to 15 years.
0:45 OH SHIT WATCH OUT!! Someone who knows how to handle a car on slippery road! That truck driver didn't even press the breaks once, and that's exactly what you're supposed to do. Press the breaks and you end up like those people who lock their wheels and slide around like its a hockey rink.
Not if you have scandinavian style studded snow tyres and ABS brakes fitted to your car. It´s like driving on tarmac. Try it you crazy americans. But I guess it´s one way of keeping them car manufacturers afloat? Don't cars come with ABS in the states? You can't buy one without in Norway anymore, and you loose your insurance if you drive on wintery roads on summer gyres. Maybe a tip for the american insurers...
lol shut the fuck up you're probably one of the losers on every video pretending you know everything because you saw some other people's comments. What a fucking loser.
first rule of what to do when you are in a minor fender-bender on ice is to get out of your vehicle and stand where sliding cars can hit you, or get pinned between stopped vehicles. do not stay inside your car. do ignore the fact that your car is a highly engineered safety cage made from steel.
Dude is filming drivers lose control on an icy road and then proceeds to ask the dumbest questions possible. "What happened?" "Nigga, what the fuck you think just happened?!?!"
Pro Tip: If you lock your brakes, turning your wheel will do absolutely nothing to steer your vehicle. If you want to steer while sliding, pump your brakes and allow your wheels to spin some. That's the only way to get any kind of steering during a slide.
I've lived in Arkansas for 34 years, and I can tell you this: When it rains or snows in Arkansas, people just straight up forget how to drive. And to the woman at 3:29? She's right. You shouldn't just leave your car in the middle of the street. But... like I said, rain or snow, folks forget how to drive.
Ice is like hydroplaning you get off the gas and off the break and keep your eyes in the direction you want to go steer where you are looking and you might get out of that situation without a crash!!! Proven fact!!!
This is gold. I'm no perfect driver, but I've been driving in Vermont winters in a 07 corolla since I was 15. I know well enough to pump my brakes! That and try to get momentum to make it up a hill like that.
Dont use the brakes locking your tires wont help any thing at all use them ever so lightly and they to make it through there safely I'm 15 even I know this 😐
+DOG It's not always just about the snow. Ice is a huge factor when it comes to pile ups and ice can happen anywhere where the conditions are right and when salt isn't readily available. You can't tell me there hasn't been any pile ups in Cananda.

You guys in New York gets this type of winter every year. We get one every 7 to 15 years.
The box truck nailed. Excellent professional news video. Thanks.
The best you can do is just try to steer your way through, no brakes, no throttle. And sometimes that doesn't work either.
0:45 OH SHIT WATCH OUT!! Someone who knows how to handle a car on slippery road! That truck driver didn't even press the breaks once, and that's exactly what you're supposed to do. Press the breaks and you end up like those people who lock their wheels and slide around like its a hockey rink.
Not if you have scandinavian style studded snow tyres and ABS brakes fitted to your car. It´s like driving on tarmac. Try it you crazy americans. But I guess it´s one way of keeping them car manufacturers afloat? Don't cars come with ABS in the states? You can't buy one without in Norway anymore, and you loose your insurance if you drive on wintery roads on summer gyres. Maybe a tip for the american insurers...
lol shut the fuck up you're probably one of the losers on every video pretending you know everything because you saw some other people's comments. What a fucking loser.
0:15 sooooo close! 0:42box van driver was a pro!!
I love watching these
Reporter films and watches car sliding into another car. "What happened"? Excellence in journalism, folks.
Hmm, I can't climb the hill so I leave my car right in the middle of the road... Good logic.
"Stay home" is a bad advice.
"Grab your ski's" is better.
Legend says the box truck is still drifting to these days, lol.
Love how they slide into other vehicles then drive off...
You watched what happened, and then you ask 'what happened'
For Pete’s sake move your freakin cars out of the road!!!!
first rule of what to do when you are in a minor fender-bender on ice is to get out of your vehicle and stand where sliding cars can hit you, or get pinned between stopped vehicles. do not stay inside your car. do ignore the fact that your car is a highly engineered safety cage made from steel.
impressed with whoever was driving the moving van!
Dude is filming drivers lose control on an icy road and then proceeds to ask the dumbest questions possible. "What happened?" "Nigga, what the fuck you think just happened?!?!"
Pro Tip: If you lock your brakes, turning your wheel will do absolutely nothing to steer your vehicle.
If you want to steer while sliding, pump your brakes and allow your wheels to spin some. That's the only way to get any kind of steering during a slide.
most don't steer in the correct direction anyway when sliding........
In Europe we use chains around the wheels. It works !
NEVER SLAM ON YOUR BREAKS! Start breaking at a distance but keep it rolling at the same time until you are slow enough for a complete stop.
Son of a biscuit-eater?!?!? Never heard THAT one before! Albeit, I like it!
We also say bun of a citch and futher mucker 😆
we say it in Ohio......
Classic in the south!
@@garypollard9770 Figures, since I'm from up north, but now live in the south....
@@mrmustangman Never heard that one in Ohio, and I used to live there!
0:40 Express Shipping Like A SIR ;)
Not gonna lie! The sound of the ice hitting the camera. Was soothing.
Guy in the box trunk linked the corner so nice... props
I've lived in Arkansas for 34 years, and I can tell you this:
When it rains or snows in Arkansas, people just straight up forget how to drive.
And to the woman at 3:29? She's right. You shouldn't just leave your car in the middle of the street. But... like I said, rain or snow, folks forget how to drive.
That pretty much goes for anywhere. I live in Kansas, and it's the same here.
0:14 lucky as fuck
Ice is like hydroplaning you get off the gas and off the break and keep your eyes in the direction you want to go steer where you are looking and you might get out of that situation without a crash!!! Proven fact!!!
This is gold. I'm no perfect driver, but I've been driving in Vermont winters in a 07 corolla since I was 15. I know well enough to pump my brakes! That and try to get momentum to make it up a hill like that.
Idiot.
4:27 son of a biscuit eater😂
Dont use the brakes locking your tires wont help any thing at all use them ever so lightly and they to make it through there safely I'm 15 even I know this 😐
Yet you don't now about ABS. It doesn't let the tires lock.
Grey Elantra at 2:25 didn’t even try to avoid anything 😂😂😂
Box truck coming flying down the hill drifting like a boss..
This is a cake walk in Canada, we know snow...and we know how to drive in it.
Wonders why Canadians think it only snows in Canada.
+DOG It's not always just about the snow. Ice is a huge factor when it comes to pile ups and ice can happen anywhere where the conditions are right and when salt isn't readily available. You can't tell me there hasn't been any pile ups in Cananda.
I live in Canada.. trust me... some of the drivers up here are as bad or worse than this.. That cube van driver could school some canucks
Wrong tyres for the conditions I guess haha
andrew christie what type off tires do they need ??
nokian hakka r2 , hakka 8 , bridgestone ws 80, michelin xice 3... and so many others... with any of those tires even a RWD would pass.
husty husty That's exactly correct. I'm using Michelin xi3's and they are light years ahead of my all seasons in winter conditions.

The weather outside is so delightful, let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let it Snow !
I love how the one guy hits the car and just drives off
