    When I was a rookie semi driver I had a real bad “how hard can it be?” attitude about winter weather. Losing control on ice got rid of that mindset real quick.

    It just happened to me this morning. I drive a semi truck, and was in a I35 in MN. I felt the road was icy, and conditions were bad, but as a trucker you have to adjust the speed and keep going. I am carrying a light load, and I gust of wind caught me, and jackknifed my trailer, lost the control of the truck, and started heading towards the opposite side of the highway. Using the experience, I was able to straighten the truck in the median, but I wasn’t able to avoid hitting the divider railing. I pulled back onto the highway, came off the first exit, and assed the damage. I am just lucky that I was able to steer away from all four wheelers and other semis. Please appreciate the risks truck drivers face each minute on the road to provide for comfort of the rest of the citizens. Stay safe this winter.

My father told me, “ If you can’t drive in snow, than you don’t have any business driving.” But, I’m aware things happen beyond our control. Remembrance slow down & be safe on any kind of road conditions.

    ProTip: If you drive a RWD vehicle on ice, and your back brakes are worn/out of adjustment, your rear wheels will literally push you down the road with your front wheels locked because there's not enough braking force to overcome the power being applied to the wheels. The only way to stop may be to shift to Neutral. Been there, done that.

    What a lot of pickup truck owners don't realize or forget (unfortunately) is that many pickups have a traditional 4wd hi/lo setup that defaults to its 2wd mode; thus many are not full time awd and on top of that, there's no weight over the rear wheels if you're not carrying cargo and so the truck becomes very prone to losing control in icy conditions; even if you have off road tires. And this is clearly captured in videos like these.

      It’s most likely a transport service delivering a newly finished RV to a dealer or delivering it to a customer for the spring. It’s much cheaper to buy an RV in the winter when demand is low. Pay attention next time you see a camper being pulled this winter, the pickup truck will most likely have a sign on the door for a transport company.

    Thanks for posting these videos Dan. You used to go to my neck of the woods (394 west of Minneapolis) but you’ve been ignoring us. Actually, with the catastrophic drought we’ve had for the last couple of years it would probably be a wasted trip anyway. I understand why there are many people promoting snow tires here but, after having driven in 46 Minnesota winters, I think all snow tires do is give people a false sense of security and embolden them to drive faster and more carelessly when a lot more caution is called for. I did have a set of snow tires on my 1985 2WD Ranger which I also loaded up with 400lbs. of tube sand, but a 2WD pickup is pretty light. I think the most dangerous part of driving in winter, and it’s something that is seldom mentioned, is changing lanes, especially if the plows haven’t been through. I see more spinouts and crashes by bad Minnesota drivers because they play their passive-aggressive lane-changing games in the snow just like they do in the summer. You have to have good situational awareness and slowly ease into crossing over. When the wheel in front bogs down in the snow ridge between lanes is when the mistakes are made. People get jumpy or panic when the steering wheel takes that nudge and they think they’re losing control. That’s when they overcompensate and spin out. 46 years and it’s the same thing every year. E-a-s-y does it when changing lanes. Take your time, do it right.

      Ice is not anything that an experienced person knows much about. They just think they know. If you don't feel confident or safe to be out, you're actually more experienced than those that think they know what they're doing because you made a wise decision. If a person has no other choice but to be out, that's different. People need to slow down. This video is full of people driving too fast and riding too closely.

      In the Netherlands cops only show up when people are injured or when the road is blocked by the accident. They have better things to do then visit every accident. Everybody has a accident formular/paper in his car and you both fill it in and send it to your assurance company. When the car is wrecked, you need a tow truck.

    Yep the ice is no joke! When you drive over ice, It doesn’t matter what kind of vehicle you have - many think because they’re in a pickup truck or suv they’re okay, but once your tires lose traction on the ice, you’re going to slide.

After looking at the conditions in two passes and saying: 'nope' to both of them I pulled into an RV camp for the night. In the morning I waited until the reports were that the highway was dry and clear before I went across. That was the last time I pulled a trailer in the winter.

      I've always found the expression "turn into the slide" confusing. In my mind, the direction of the slide is my car's front-end, not the rear-end. In that sense, turning into the slide is the opposite of what I want to do.
      To me, "turn where you want the car to go" makes more sense than "turn into the slide."

    I'm noticing that a lot of these spinouts are pick up trucks. When I drove a van in Southern Ontario I always kept a barrel of sand tied in place over the back axle during the winter. Pickups and vans are notorious for being light in the back of the vehicle, therefore more likely to spin out on ice and snow.
