They cant drive on a clear sunshine day 🤷🏾
😅😅😅😅😅
Couldn't say it better
immature comment
Amen
@@Redridge07 you must be one who cant drive
My fellow Texans, Y'all can't seen to drive in the sunshine so slow down in the rain and the cold.
I used live there. People like to drive fast. Doesn’t matter what the weather is like. They need to learn to slow TF down
I dont think fast is the issue here. Blame the speed limit. If they are too high or low, it can easily cause congestion.
Due to icy patches? What about the people behind the wheel? They had nothing to do with this?
A bunch of big dopey hillbillies speeding on icy roads😂😂😂 that whole state is an embarrassment
People crash like that in broad daylight sober
@@Pumaj420 durr
200 accidents daily are the norm for Houston.
body shops love it!
I saw about 10 accidents today, and they were all pickup trucks. These idiots trust their pickups too much
I'm in Iowa and I hate seeing them anyway around me.
The pickups are usually speeding more than other vehicles. They usually have a tendency to have those A-Hole LED lights that blind people too. It’s almost as if a certain type of guy is usually driving one…….hmmmmm🤔
Thank all your employers who thought it was safe to work all day today. I feel employers should be held responsible for vehicles if they force employees out to work in this weather. Were being told to get off roads and they closing them. School districts need to be more understanding when weather is this bad. Dont wait until last minute to make a decision. Its a peace of mind not having to wait until past bedtimes to hear a yes or no.
the thing about school districts is that the reason they don't give a crap is because they get money from the state based on attendance. Big money speaks big volumes!
Yes... blame anyone except the actual drivers for their bad driving and inabiity to slow the F down to be able to maintain control when the roads are slick.
Agreed I decide for myself if it's to bad I stay home and I don't send my children to school they can take it or fire me but my safety and my family's come first.
Goose Creek Baytown tx always does at the last min
@@annajackson9234oh my gosh, I heard that place is really ghetto with schools
Moved to Houston recently, yep these drivers have no respect for anyone. Every body owns the road and they make their own rules as well😂😂
Thank you all you drivers for causing all of our insurance premiums to increase.
Be glad that in Texas the person responsible has to claim it on their insurance. In Michigan, it's no-fault, so even if someone hits you then you have to claim it on your own insurance. In Texas, I paid $85/month for insurance with $50 deductible, in Michigan the same with a much higher deductible would be about $300/month.
@@KenTrosper If insurance is involved and has to pay for repairs, it doesn't matter who is at fault. Insurance company loses money, and it increases premiums on all of its members to recoup its loss.
Yes, the person who has more claims on their policy will see the highest premiums (or loss of coverage), but make no mistake, everyone will be paying higher premiums.
Ever wonder why your premium increases yet you had no claims? The video demonstrates why.
Per USAA's website, "Even if you don't make a claim, an increase in the number or cost of claims from other people can boost all auto insurance rates - including yours."
@@armaletalia3254 TRUE, GEICO keeps increasing my rate. I've never filed a claim with them and always pay on time, its $tup!d drivers fault
@@armaletalia3254 It would help a lot if everyone had insurance and contributed to the insurance fund, but a quarter of the drivers on our roads aren't insured. The law should be more proactive in removing them, running plates through the computer all day long to identify those who shouldn't be on the road.
@@KenTrosper you must have paid $85 a month for liability insurance or full coverage 20 years ago....
My little brother works at The Regal movie theater on Grand Pkwy…His boss said it’s a write up if he doesn’t come in…As if he gets paid so much, or it’s going to be full of people on a freezing Tuesday.
Ohhh. I would hate to lose THAT job.
is that the one where they dont have mens restroom or womens restroom. Just a door with a toilet behind it.
duuuuuuuude those bathrooms are so gross.
We saw Five nights at freddys, wife went to use the restroom: pee on the seat, pee on the sink, pee on the paper towels, pee on the hand dryer 😁
Their finally bringing the women into the mens restroom, now they know the secrets!
These companies are so GREEDY, it’s infuriating 😡 they don’t give a damn about us working class citizens.
Then tell him , I’ll see what the news report saids and check your location lol
Dam why he work there if not paid much I'm sure plenty othere paying job cleaning

They don’t get much snow driving practice in Mexico and Africa
Or Texas!!!
Exactly why I stayed inside. Texans can’t drive when it’s dry.
I'm a man, I can drive on anything , any time, and fast too !
@@paulbrown1585 ladies and gentlemen, meet paul....professional douchebag
I still don't understand why so many of these folks simply won't slow down. Apparently, the idea of slowing down is akin to rocket science.
Math is hard.
Alfa-male crap.
"Got my trucknutz... and my constitutional right to drive how I want to"
You see... it's "beta cuck" to drive safe I guess.
@@philiphorner31for Texans
most definitely 😅
physics is even worse.@@philiphorner31
Texans went to the moon.@@jibril2473
AINT nothing worth ruining my vehicle which takes me to the money
“I need to buy a pickup truck to protect myself from bad drivers”
Can you imagine if Houston wasn't flat as a pancake. Learned to drive a stick shift on icy hills; it's very scary!
Too many inpatient drivers driving fast! I feel as if that’s one of the major contributors.
People hard headed
He tells everyone to stay home in the morning, while he is out there on the highway. 😕
Reporting on road and weather conditions so commuters know what to expect...
Try again, slow wit...
@codymoe4986 a free thought in your head would die from loneliness.
If it's below freezing, and has been raining. Roads are going to slick. It pretty simple numbskull.
You don't need a reporter to tell you that bonehead.
"Due to weather" Stop blaming the weather. People driving too fast for conditions and attempting things beyond their and their vehicle's capabilities are the causes.
It is the driver's responsibility to adjust driving based on weather. It is not the weathers job to adjust to make the driver's job easier.
If you can't see the end of your own hood, the only safe speed is parked.
If you don't have good tires, good brakes AND (all of these) working steering you don't need a working engine.
Apparently multiple people in my neighborhood have gone to the theater. But I'm by Austin.
Well, you can't force your employees to go to work when it's dangerous. I lived in PA, they have a particular charge code when it's too dangerous to drive in icy conditions. C'mon is a bit of organization that's all. Houston doesn't have that mentality because they haven't experienced cold weather before.
Know those roads well, and I don’t miss them or the endless excessive speeds of most drivers. This report not a surprise.
It’s NOT DUE TO WINTER WEATHER! It’s due to unsafe driving…period!
Bullshit
Yep smoking weed on their phones racing.
BOTH
1) That reporter sounds drunk.
2) Reporter "Stay home and don't go out if you don't have to" as he's riding around in a car.
Reporter is making bank. 💰
He does sound drunk 😆
He's coldddddd.
Randy's been a reporter here since I was a kid in the early nineties. He's always sounded like that, and, um, that's part of the job of like being a reporter.
As he's riding around in a car...reporting on weather/road conditions for the commuters of that city....
Seriously, this about the 5th clown that I've seen complaining about this...are you guys really this dense??
Salt your roads tx
At least have a emergency reserve? Northern states have it...
@@DerekWhite-yx2ce i agree with but Texas DOES NOT HAVE THAT type of resources like northern states been in Texas 25 years never had that type of resource
@@jameseverly8501 Texas does seem pretty overwhelming... Still something might help. Lol
@jameseverly8501 you're right , Texas does not have the resources, *but they should* this is happening more and more frequently. This is the new normal and Texas needs to start thinking ahead and preparing for this, because it WILLhappen again
@@drea409 yes I agree with you I have been in Texas for about 26 years, and this happen every year will Texas get more resources probably not but anyway thanks
Its hard to drive the truck when it's on its side like that.
Every non essential job should be closed until the ice melts. What’s wrong with these damn employers?!
🙄
It seems like you just don't want to work or stressed out at your job. 😂
@@CB12345 no I’m an essential worker, there are people who aren’t like fast food workers that shouldn’t have to risk their life to go to work during a freeze.
Classic Texas
All Trucks. The bullies on the roadways who are always speeding and taking chances. Mostly Men.
mostly jerks.
Does your girlfriend drive a Prius?
Weather didn't wreck those cars, bad drivers did
IT'S NOT THE BAD WEATHER BUT BAD DRIVERS SPEEDING ON ICY HIGHWAYS AND ROADS WITH SUMMER TIRES YET!!!
I’m not surprised at the amount of accidents happening. There are many bad drivers these days. People drive in this weather all the time up north. They are prepared for it. Down here, most people don’t have a clue about the dangers of driving on ice. Add that to the fact that people ride really close to your tail end, they don’t use blinkers, they speed, they don’t let you over, etc…
No surprise at all…
Yes, they drive like psychos here and they treated the 290 yet.🙄
Ya up north in Canada we know you can’t safely drive on ice only sorta with chains on. We stay home or have no insurance. We were just the coldest place on earth which is not something you drive in either but still got the few idiots that drove by 🙄
And too many on their cell phones Not paying attention 😤
The roads should have been covered with some liquid to melt the ice, or sodium if they want people to go get to work. You would also need tires for rain or better winter tires for snow. Additionally if you are driving do not go fast and then brake. The tires will skid and you will crash. You cant possibly drive like usual on ice.
Only sorta safe way to drive on ice is with chains. Coming from an old Canadian that has this weather 6 months a year.
The thing is nothing, not even a ton of salt melts ice when it's below zero degrees. The trick is to maintain a safe distance from vehicles around you and drive very slowly until you reach your destination. This is how you drive on black ice safely.
When will those Houstonians (my sister included) learn how to drive? Never!
i drove in houston today and i saw people in houston they break right on the ice bridges and lose control.
either they do it on purpose or they are so stupid and unaware to of how to drive a car in cold weathers.
Mfs be trusting their 2x4 trucks, and FWD ghetto altimas and corollas in these conditions WAY too much
you forgot dodge chargers
I just drove my wife to work on Friday morning here in Iowa during our last storm in a fwd malibu because my dually is in the shop and had no problem except I had to drive slower and we live 25 miles out of cedar rapids in the country that was after 10 inches of snow with some ice under it and Texass can't handle a little ice, I thought everyone and everything is supposed to be bigger and better down there 😅
2x4 trucks? Do they "ride like a lumber wagon"?
@dsmith8859 it's not about the car as much as it's about the tires. If you have tires for snow, of course you have a good grip on the road. They are not even selling tires for snow here in Texas because there is no snow "yet". There is no mentality to drive in cold weather, so there will be crashes. Texas driving is fast too, and people are learning to slow down the hard way.
@tdf123emcee2 All you need is decent all season tires, and they do have the internet in that state, so anyone can order any tire they want and have them put on at a shop
Poor city management.
Every example was a truck. I believe it.
nope, dodge chargers.
men drive trucks.
children drive chargers.
Repair shops are probably jumping for joy and I'm happy for them. People don't know sensibility during incidents like these. Let the crews do their work and RELAX. Work ain't going nowhere, you workaholic automatons.
Trash roads and old structures of course it’s chaos
Pay day insurance scams 😂😂😂😂
I ain’t gone lie but y’all can’t driver for sh!t in Tx
I was on the 249 toll going into Magnolia late last night, and there was ice on the bridges. I repeatedly witnessed people hitting their brakes once they were on ice, causing them to skid. Some out of control.
I made every effort to separate myself from them by driving ahead or behind them.
When driving over icey areas of the road, don't panic and don't suddenly brake.
I was doing about 60 mph, and over each of the bridges, I would take my foot off the accelerator and coast across. When I felt my vehicle sliding, I would gently steer in the direction of the skid.
People were going 20 mph, and were still hydroplaning because of sudden and aggressive braking.
One more thing, PLEASE, PLEASE, STOP driving side by side. It's dangerous, and it interferes with the flow of traffic. STOP IT! Isolate yourself on the roads when there is clear space to do so.
My ex was a lieutenant with the TXDPS, and this was something he screamed about often, and it's worse today because of illegal, unlicensed, and unskilled drivers.
Drive defensively, and be safe.
Someone who actually gets it! Great advice.
What TF is hydroplania? That sounds exotic
Now there will be kids named that all over the Houston area
Damnnnnnnnn hope everyone is ok Thanks Fox26🤘🏾Houston
Due to “weather?” So what are the reasons Houstonians/Texans crash when there is no “winter weather?” Oh, is it speeding in unsafe vehicles like pick-them-up “trucks?” :)
Not the fault of the weather. This is down to poor and unsafe driving!
Every employee has the right to say no if ur employer dont like it he can kiss it
People NEVER take STAY HOME seriously and then find out in the worst way every single time!
That’s because.., In case you didn’t know.., Houston’s official motto is F around and Find Out.
This is funny. This is about every day in the winter up north, you don't drive on bald tires and you don't go out when it's too bad.
Just another winter day in Canada. A set of winter tires, and 5 months of road salt push living costs up. Snow birds head south. 🇨🇦
2 words winter tires 🛞
Something tells me it isn't just due to the weather...
200 people who don’t know how to drive
I was driving on 249 cypresswood and saw this raptor speed by i wonder if this is them. Some of these drivers are speeding switching lanes cutting people as usual.
Why do people that have no clue about snow and ice still insist on driving in it? Something wrong their with brains?
I was going to drive to Houston today but i drove to Houston last night instead . I missed everything .
Houston dropped the ball again by not sanding our roads knowing the freez was coming Ice is the worst thing to drive on no matter what speed you are going because you have little are no control. So thanks to the city of Houston and other counties for leaving our roads unsafe.
Exactly, so slow to act.
You need salt not sand
Should’ve stayed your asses home… maybe move to Kansas City.
Houston planning at its best
the bullet holes stickers are cool on the raptor
ANYONE ELSE NOTICE WHAT APPEARS TO BE BULLET HOLES ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE RAPTOR ?!!!
Shout out to pickup truck drivers.
Wait until the power grid fails
I would like to ask the owner of that Ford Raptor how he managed to get his truck on its side. Takes someone special to do that lol
Trucks are prone to tipping over easily since they are high off the ground. Especially when they get hit by another vehicle.
@CB12345 pretty sure this guy wasn't hit by anyone, just doesn't know how to drive
Oh no no no don't blame the icy patches. I had to take my mother and daughter to dialysis today and there were tons of speeding drivers weaving in and out of traffic in the short 6 miles I had to drive on FM 1960.
Slow down people while driving the weather is not the blame
We have a lot of stupid drivers here.
This is what happens when a bunch of new people move to Houston. This happens every year. Hopefully we’re getting better at salting the roads, but I doubt it
New people from where? All the people from the Midwest and upper east coast laugh at all of you. They were salting the roads on Saturday afternoon instead of Sunday evening🤣
This has nothing to do with Houston. This is about impatient/over aggressive drivers. I see it everyday in all 48 states.
Dont blame the new people. Nyc has alot more people with this size of the city. People just need to stay off of streets and riding public transportations or go to work or whereever.
It's really not the employer's or manager's fault all together, it's the machine of the world itself. Nothing stops!
Good thing I don't live in a crappy state like Texas that isn't prepared for anything.
Oh, How will the E🚗Vs be charged if the ice, water shorts their circuitry? 😄
He says as he's driving around...
So 200 people who don't know how to drive
Typical Montgomery County and Conroe, there were hillbillies trying to pass in no passing zones because everyone was driving slow on the icy roads and some tweaker in a beat up Lexus was riding my ass because i was driving slow on an icy road then passed on the shoulder honking. Was really hoping they would eat the ditch so i could drive past waving. Smh
How is that when it'd 200 crashes when it's any other day its not the weather its the people driving
Yesterday was 200 crashes with far less people on the road. Imaging if there had been the normal amount of people on the roadway.
There’s so many people driving the speed limit during an ice storm so incredibly stupid
🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Typical Southern Drivers
200? So, only 6 more than on any other day in Houston...
Stay home!!!
Maybe having equipment to pretreat? I mean salt/brine should last years, unless crazy. IDK...
This is what happens when your employer tells you to show up for work. No fucks given
Lol, it would be hilarious if it didn't make the insurance go up for everyone.
I drove today and found icy patches. They have been talking about this for 2 days and TXDOT and the city put out NO sand on bridges !!! I10 was stupid. I guess the new mayor is slacking off already! WHY ???
No wonder that they don’t respect the workers these drivers mostly came from California where they don’t respect anybody😂
Driving in Texas on a dry n clear day is a challenge
Seems like winter tires may need to be mandated.
Thanks to all thoses AWD drivers who think they can still drive like idiots.
1:00 Wow. Crashing because you're trying to speed past the people making the roads safe. That's a smert one right there!
That's because they're all smarter than you and I.
Seeing texans reaction to snow is hilarious 😂..
they are the most arrogant people I've ever run into
Texans are physically incapable of going under 45 mph
Nice and sunny 🌞 ☀️ 😎 in California!!!!!!
Bro sounded and looked like he was ridding with a horse and buggy!!!
Just like San Diego when it rains.
Here is a news cast.... NOBODY likes Subtitles. What the hell is wrong with you??? What????
No salt?😂
😮
It very simple, icey roads just slow down
Wth..im moving back to So Cal
Those people needs to slow down or learn how to drive.
Dear Texans just call in when it snows😂😂😂, ATL YALL TOO
Tow truck drivers how feels not finished high school? 😅 this is your time to shine.....
"how feels not finished high school"
Imagine trying to call someone else uneducated with a sentence like that! Huge L.
@hughjass1835 that's OK I don't want you to call me any way....😅
