Hey guys. Just think about the stress that those drivers are feeling. I can not find this funny because I was half a second to get a head on collision due to a black ice patch on the road. Just a very short time to react and everything went well, no ditch, no hitting anything. And that happened only at 60 or 70 km/h. This morning , the roads between London and St. Thomas, ON had not been plowed nor salted and a new brand Ford Truck over took me so fast, like if it was on dry surface. People do not learn from other's experience unfortunately.

@@Somd55 There's no such thing as "uncontrolled increase in speed" when driving. You're the one who should pay attention to road conditions and drive accordingly. Every Canadian cities get far Much snow than what we see in this video and there isn't as many car crashes, since people have winter tires and know how to drive in such conditions
@@Somd55I drive to Mt seymour 60 nights a season. Snow, ice. There is no reason that this hill caused these issues other than poor driving skill. That rcmp skid was full wheel lock... you do that on a drive down seymour and you are down the mountainside. You don't get to a slope and react. You plan for it before you get there.
I drove all the way from West Vancouver on the North Shore all the way to Maple Ridge and back for my work and I didn't see a single snow plow! I really question the city's and provincial highway snow removal
Here in edmonton back in dec we had a heavy frost so they salted the shit out of the roads now in january and we had 2 snow falls and no plows , no sand trucks no nothing what a crazy world it is 😅
@@MrBashem Just in comparison, Montréal will invest 194 million $ in snow removal operations while Vancouver... 7 million 😅 But no matter how snow removal is, the storm you had in Vancouver wouldn't even be considered as a "storm" elsewhere in Canada. People are struggling because they don't have snow tires and because they don't know how to react when driving on snow.
It's not the snow storm wreaking havoc, it's unqualified humans behind steering wheels, and lack of road maintenance due to too many hands in the taxpayers cookie jar. Shouldn't the municipalities be held accountable?
A city like Vancouver will never had the snow readiness cities like Calgary and Edmonton do. Just not snow often enough. Not fiscally reasonable to have the resources to handle any snowstorm that may come along.
Well Vancouver knows its coming but never gets its crew out and clean up. The government shud spend money on fixing this instead of giving Trudeau a holiday in Jamaica 🎉
That cop is going way to fast and got karma. This is Canada, get winter tires, stay your ass home if you can't drive in this weather. last thing, use common sense.
Buy a 4x4s not an all wheel drive a true 4x4will work but slow down and drive to road conditions make your moves ahead of time not when it happens and always look ahead of where you are going so you have time to react.
first he has winter tires, 2nd he started slow, 3rd it's a hill, and 4th, the killer, it's black ice, you could have chains on your wheels and you will still slide down it just like that cop car.
My Michelin x Ice Snow tires were great in the snow. Except a homeless person in a scooter came out of nowhere and I went skidding like crazy avoiding it. The tires luckily kept me on track and the oncoming car was able to stop in time luckily. A very close call.
ICBC should charge every city for every collision due to the road conditions. We pay taxes for the safe roads not for the fancy computers or luxury chairs in someone's office. Look at the roads in Montreal. They have a lot of snow and the roads are clean.
Montreal spends more money than any other city in Canada on snow removal. Well over 100 million a year in fact. The entire lower mainland spends about 4 million on snow removal.
@@althunder4269 yeah and then we go 2 years with out any snow and people wonder why did we spend 4 million on snow removal when no snow fell! we dont always get snow each year in Vancouver.
Who funds ICBC, who funds the city, its you. ICBC needs to tally every accident from poor tires and charge back ALL repair costs to the idiot that thinks they can drive on bad tires if they just go slow.
@@SB-xu8pi tires dont have much to do with it, you could have snow tires with chains on and you will still slide down some of our hills, black ice doesn't care about your tires. it's why they have to close the road, many of our hills just become impassable no matter what kind of show gear your car has.
LOL from Alberta A bit of snow and Vancouver is in chaos. Good advice guys, stay home in this weather as you obviously lack of driving skills in snowy weather!
Good 'ol stereotypes, aren't they fun? I know Alberta has quite a few! FYI Vancouver does not invest as much into snow removal as other cities across the country do and when it snows it tends to melt and turn to ice faster. True, if you don't have winter tires, don't drive, but the way it comes down by mountain and sea, I wouldn't recommend driving at all if you can help it. Former Albertan, Current Vancouverite
That kind of skill takes time to build and they just don't get enough out there to practice, can't fault them in the least for that. Tbh, there are times I get tired of the -30 stretches here and wish it wasn't so expensive there, the once in a while snow trouble by comparison sometimes seems a tempting tradeoff.
it's not a skill thing, when ever it snows in van, it's half melted ice under it, albertans crash more often in bc snow than bc drivers as they think snow is dry. well snow here is never dry.
@@max_rove winter tires wont even get me out the driveway, i gave up trying to shovel it, it's 170 feet and this snow is really heavy. only thing getting down my driveway would be a lifted 4x4, or a snowblower and the latter dont exist in Vancouver, they are like some sort of mythical creature, that people have claimed to have once seen. oh and the roads closed do to snow plow issues.
I remember a time when the roads used to get salted. Don't blame the drivers for lack of proper road maintenance. Some of us don't have the luxury to stay home.
it takes a week to salt all the roads, this came down in 6 hours, we've never had "all" the roads salted in 6 hours i went to bed with a green lawn, woke up to 18 inches of snow pack, didn't even try going to work today (Wednesday) as the road hasn't been plowed and probably wont be till fryday.
Lol! Pretty broad statement for a province made up of more mountain than AB, but I think you're likely referring to the ppl of Vancouver who's city doesn't invest as much into snow removal and where the moisture leads to icier conditions when it snows. Most people here have winter tires, but I still wouldn't recommend it in this kind of snow. Ps. grew up in MB, lived in AB. Everyone's driving sucks.
@@agewilson Vancouver doesn't invest as much $$ on snow removal as Calgary simply because historically winter is just not that long. But when a big snow fall hits, the impact on Vancouver is gonna be far worse than it would do to Calgary. Same as driving, people in Vancouver simply aren't trained as much as Albertans. This is just common sense, and hard truth. On the other hand, Calgary would probably react more poorly on rainfalls than Vancouver. I don't know why people get so emotional. Use common sense and just admit it. lol
funny we in BC think very little of albertans ability to drive in snow, they are always the ones crashing when they come here, having never seen black ice (show tires do nothing to black ice), they think they know how to drive in snow until they meet a BC hill that is slicker than an ice rink. we have cars, with road chains on, slide down some of our hills. heck we have 'parked' cars slide down hills sometimes! fyi black ice is not dry ice, it's half melted surface but still solid enough to prevent tire to road contact, and its very common here. also none of our roads are level. so just think about that for a minute.
@@maxglideDon't get your panties in a bunch buddy, he's right. I'm from BC and the drivers here are atrocious. AND they don't think they need winter tires. Double whammy combo.
That's why I did not get a winter tire. I got an All-Terrain Falken ATW3 tires. Winter tire is not really very good in Metro Vancouver winter condition because our snow here is usually mixed with water. We need tires with deep tread that can cut through snow and water and All-Terrain offers that.
Everyone who thinks slower=better is the reason hills get so jammed up and so many accidents happen on hills. You need SPEED to get up hills in the snow
Greedy people pay twice! There are no all-season tires, there are summer and winter tires, and all-season tires are a marketing ploy for greedy fools. I bought 4 winter wheels and I drive confidently!
As an immigrant to Canada in the 90s, I'm willing to bet half these accidents are from new drivers/fresh Canadian licenses.😉 Takes a winter or three to get used to it.
This is definitely the case with all of the new permanent residents who are semi drivers. Many have never driven EVER in snow before and are pulling 80K lbs on highways they have NO business being on. Perhaps they should be required to have driven at least one winter in a car before they are permitted to run a semi in snow?
Vancouver has serious hills you just don't see in Calgary or Edmonton. It's easy when the ground is flat. People without winter tires though...that's some bad driving operator errors.
Love seeing cars with windows completely obstructed by snow as they drive. Just more evidence that people dont know how to drive and are just ignorant.

Yea, because their cities are more prepared for snow removal. Having lived in two of the provinces you mentioned, I can safely say everyone's driving sucks equally.
@agewilson Also, would it not count that if Vancouverites or Lower-Mainlanders were warned like a week in advance, but no one prepared for it till the last minute, including the cities and municipalities, snow removal program❓️ I've lived in both Toronto and Vancouver, but it seems 604 folks wait till it's too late to do anything when it comes to winter road and snow (removal) conditions.
all the citys you listed are flat and much colder, dryer places. vancouver is wet snow, black ice and hills, and gets an average of 3 days of snow per year (where it actually sticks to the ground), going some years with out snow at all. there is no comparison with Vancouver to any of the city's you listed.
Concept: If everyone got out and shoveled the road and and dropped salt and sand for an hour there would be less issues. No community efforts anywhere.
It's quite entertaining that's for sure. Really like to know where city crews are to help with roads to be plowed. We get one day of snow city shuts down. Eastern provinces get almost 4 months long.
Would you please review product options for strap-on cleats (like Yak-Trax), and extendable ski poles (or hiking sticks with removable rubber tip that reveals a spike similar to those on ski poles) for pedestrian safety?
Think before you go out at this condition 1. is it necessary? 2. Do you have a right gears such as AWD/Snow tires? 3. Are you hurry or driving fast in nature? If you answer Yes for the third question and NO for the rest. Stay home or change your driving habit. Driving on snowy day needs to be claim and slow.
Ever heard of studded tires? This year in calgary i saw them treating snow with liquids instead of clearing the snow and sanding. Sooo...theyve chosen chemical liquefaction and not plowing and sanding. Its cheaper i guess? Stop putting our tax money into refugee welfare and more into sustainability of life in general.
@@robgilmour3147 that I didn't notice...I don't think it was that red. But it was weird cause there was a plow but it wasn't plowing it was driving behind the liquid tanker as like moral support lol
Going out in these conditions without proper equipment like good winter tyres or snowchains is reckless driving to say the least, and it gets downright criminal the moment these clowns start to do damage or even injure other people.
Hell no, why would we want 6 month of winter when we can entertain you for one week of the year then go back to running the seawall and sitting on patios drinking our lattes. LMAO
@@MyYt-x9x Yeah. Nothing new. The guy in the video said so too. Perhaps not as severe or worst, but it is a cycle. I don't know why people are surprised because planet Earth is farthest from the Sun around time to next month. This has been tracked for few thousand years.
The city should have a snow day in these situations. Safely removing snow with less liability. Guess the body shops and tow trucks need business too . 😉
it isn't, we get a dump like this maybe once every 3 to 4 years, most years in van we get a few cm that melts in a couple hours, i dont think we've had 35 cm in fall in under 6 hours, like this, since 2009.
My heart goes out to those that had to drive in these conditions to get to work. It's scary driving on the lower mainland on any given day never mind adding trecherous road conditions no matter how experienced the driver.
WHAT conditions? The rest of Canada deals with these messes from October to the spring. Every year. Driving to work is dangerous and getting stranded in minus forty are conditions that can kill. Leaving your car abandoned on the road because you can’t deal with a few inches of snow is a concept any decent Canadian isn’t familiar with. The problem is a population of certain individuals, with more money than brains, and no driving skills. Period. Every year this happens and it’s entertainment for the rest of Canada, because they still haven’t figured things out and never will.

all the citys you listed are flat and much colder, dryer places. vancouver is wet snow, black ice and hills, and gets an average of 3 days of snow per year (where it actually sticks to the ground), going some years with out snow at all.
there is no comparison with Vancouver to any of the city's you listed.
Incoming excuses from drivers that get stuck going 5kph up a steep snowy hill😂
Blame whoever called all season tires all season tires. 😂
Concept: If everyone got out and shoveled the road and and dropped salt and sand for an hour there would be less issues. No community efforts anywhere.
Ok I'll get right on that there champ
Vancouverites when they get 1 cm of snow:
It's quite entertaining that's for sure. Really like to know where city crews are to help with roads to be plowed. We get one day of snow city shuts down. Eastern provinces get almost 4 months long.
That cop was going way too quick for that hill.
lol 😂 at least clear your windows before you drive poorly.
Would you please review product options for strap-on cleats (like Yak-Trax), and extendable ski poles (or hiking sticks with removable rubber tip that reveals a spike similar to those on ski poles) for pedestrian safety?
ATLEAST IM NOT CHARGING MY EV IN THIS WEATHER LOL
It only Wreaks Havoc for those who don't know how to handle/drive in a Canadian winter, the rest of us are doin just fine.
Think before you go out at this condition 1. is it necessary? 2. Do you have a right gears such as AWD/Snow tires? 3. Are you hurry or driving fast in nature? If you answer Yes for the third question and NO for the rest. Stay home or change your driving habit. Driving on snowy day needs to be claim and slow.
Stop with the "slower=better" it's nonsense. You need speed to get up hills
Snow tires waaaa snow tires with studs waaaaaa awd waaaaaaaa we dont need any of that 😅
Ever heard of studded tires?
This year in calgary i saw them treating snow with liquids instead of clearing the snow and sanding.
Sooo...theyve chosen chemical liquefaction and not plowing and sanding.
Its cheaper i guess?
Stop putting our tax money into refugee welfare and more into sustainability of life in general.
was it redish in color? if so its probably beet juice, it works better than salt, cheaper too.
@@robgilmour3147 that I didn't notice...I don't think it was that red. But it was weird cause there was a plow but it wasn't plowing it was driving behind the liquid tanker as like moral support lol
Dear Vancouver, Winter does apply to you, plan accordingly
More shows just how bad some drivers are at poor conditions, and the crap tires they run on.
It's Vancouver, full of some of the most clueless Canadians we have.
Only in BC. Those people can’t drive in ANY precipitation! They can hardly drive during perfect driving conditions.
I’ve watched 1:03-1:08 10x and it has me in tears 😂😭💀
When he says “ohhh sh** mannn” i fell out 😂😆🤣😭
This has happened 3 years in a row! Have a plan in place city
Some people always think that they are the 1 a hundred that will make it through.
In courtenay this morning, the RCMP passed me on doing a four wheel skid . Crazy day .
Vancouver horrible drivers
Going out in these conditions without proper equipment like good winter tyres or snowchains is reckless driving to say the least, and it gets downright criminal the moment these clowns start to do damage or even injure other people.
We drive everyday in Alberta. Come and enjoy!
Hell no, why would we want 6 month of winter when we can entertain you for one week of the year then go back to running the seawall and sitting on patios drinking our lattes. LMAO
😂😂😂
The commentary and music, Not to mention the video at the beginning,
😂😂😂
RCMP EXPLORER TAKES THE CAKE!!
Two feet in 4 days schools still open in kamloops
Sorry bout the weather Chong. Safe travels
This happens EVERY YEAR? Great entertainment. I am laughing too.
do you mean this happens every year in Vancouver?
@@MyYt-x9x Yeah. Nothing new. The guy in the video said so too. Perhaps not as severe or worst, but it is a cycle. I don't know why people are surprised because planet Earth is farthest from the Sun around time to next month. This has been tracked for few thousand years.
The city should have a snow day in these situations. Safely removing snow with less liability. Guess the body shops and tow trucks need business too . 😉
Winter driving skills need to be enforced.
It’s all the drivers responsibility
Get some studded tires on dem cars, eh
Here I am in Alberta -30 and loads of snow 😅
Absolutely hilarious to watch these citiots trying to drive in the "EXTREME WEATHER RECORD SNOW FALL" There's not even 6 inches of snow.
I think it's normal here every year this kind of weather
If people had commen sense, it wouldn't be.
it isn't, we get a dump like this maybe once every 3 to 4 years, most years in van we get a few cm that melts in a couple hours, i dont think we've had 35 cm in fall in under 6 hours, like this, since 2009.
I guess telling people to stay home doesn't work Too dumb?
I didn't do that during covid, why tf would i do it now? 😂 gfys buds
It's January. It's winter. In Canada. You got some snow. What's the story?
My heart goes out to those that had to drive in these conditions to get to work. It's scary driving on the lower mainland on any given day never mind adding trecherous road conditions no matter how experienced the driver.
WHAT conditions? The rest of Canada deals with these messes from October to the spring. Every year. Driving to work is dangerous and getting stranded in minus forty are conditions that can kill. Leaving your car abandoned on the road because you can’t deal with a few inches of snow is a concept any decent Canadian isn’t familiar with. The problem is a population of certain individuals, with more money than brains, and no driving skills. Period. Every year this happens and it’s entertainment for the rest of Canada, because they still haven’t figured things out and never will.
Hahaha, yep, they say it was black ice .....its all black when it's on pavement duh.
0:08 That poor RCMP ...
Driving way too fast.
Why did you buy AT all season in stead of winter three peaks MT
One inch of snow...
14 inchs, in 6 hours, starting at 10pm, way to under shoot.
Nothing about the sunshine coast
interested to see what taxes to climb to once vancouver gets a proper plow system. in Ontario snow doesn't stay on the roads for more than 1 night.
The solution to all of the problems lies in acquiring four good snow tires.
No it doesn't
Trucks are tailgating me while I’m driving slow one made me slip out
wow🥶❄️🥶 What blizzard this snowstorm,gusts of Wind,it's incredible How people think it's normal,What could be dangerous,fatality,climate chance in the world🌍🥶🌍🤧🤒😱🫣😯🥵🤔
Stimulus for snow storm 🌨️
Maybe if snow crews were not out plowing on days with no snow the budget might have enough left to plow on actual snow days !
