      It's because that's usually the wise thing to do (because ABS is a thing). In some situations, it can be very dangerous, hence why you should never take that risk in snowy weather. People are taught to hold their brakes and let ABS do the work but either forget or aren't aware that that often doesn't work in the snow (it usually does though, which can fool people into a false sense of security).

  • @dirgeofdementia
    @dirgeofdementia 2 роки тому +25

    Honestly, in snowy conditions, the only thing I’m typically concerned about is other drivers.
    I’ve owned everything from a Camaro and RX-8 to a Grand Prix to my current car, an Impreza. Over two decades of driving and I have never hung any of them up in the snow, and there are three reasons for that:
    1) My vehicles were properly maintained and mechanically sound.
    2) I took manual control of the transmission and keep it locked in the middle gear. This helped prevent wheel spin and also prevents having to use the brake as often.
    3) If the thought of driving in a certain storm put me on edge, I didn’t drive unless it was absolutely necessary.

      In WV, it's common to have hills that are too steep to drive on in even low gear without using the brakes. Some go downhill for miles, and sliding off the road puts you over a cliff or into water. And they're curvy. Fun (sarcasm).

    I am impressed and also a bit sad to see the stupidity. It seems like most cars in this video is using summer tires, or at best, friction tires of poor quality.
    I drove with summer tires for 250 km due to a weather surprise in Sweden a month or two back. It was a horrible experience, really horrendous. We are always using the winter tires, often with studs from november/december to late, mars/april - even in the south of Sweden. The northern part is likely to use them longer.
    Love winter tires with studs. AWD and good tires makes all the conditions showed in this video a complete piece of cake.
    Suggestion: Invest in good tires as some of these videos show crashes for 1000ths of dollars..

I got pretty good at riding on ice covered roads. I had to watch out for the idiots though. I had an ace up my sleeve though, because I was so maneuverable. I have been known to move over to the sidewalk to get out of the way of a sliding idiot. I was 19 years old, and bullet proof, like most 19 year olds.

      It's more fun...people are pushing your car, everybody trying to unstuck you...and this is how you make new friends. With new winter tyres, you just sit and drive, having another boring day...

    I live in Winnipeg and drive in these conditions often during winter. Not difficult when you know how however a nightmare for those who rarely are exposed them. Dedicated winter tires have made all the differance since they had been made available years ago.

      Winter tires will not save you from ice and it's ice under snow that is biggest issue most of the time. I do agree however that winter tires do make huge difference on snow itself.

      @@wykydytron While not a100% solution on glare ice they are significantly better than all season tires. Stopping distance is reduced and traction is improved. I've used them on front and rear wheel drive cars Ford, Mercury, Honda, Toyota, Lincoln and everything in between. I've used Michelin, Bridgestone, and a few other makers. Some are better than others but regardless all are superior to all season tires in my 60 years of winter driving.
