Thank you all for your continued viewership and support over the years! Stay tuned to this channel for new clips from the upcoming 2024-2025 winter season! Frequently Asked Questions: Did you shoot all of these clips? Yes, I personally shot every video on my channel on-the-scene with my own camera equipment (4K video cameras, drones and dashcams). Where is Icy Road Madness 4? Are some of these clips posted previously? You might have already seen some of these clips in the 4th part of the Icy Road Madness series. This is because it has been increasingly difficult to satisfy UA-cam’s algorithm. For an unknown reason, UA-cam stopped showing Part 4 to viewers shortly after it was uploaded, after only a few thousand views. So, I was forced to delete Part 4. Part 5 contains the clips from Part 4 along with new captures from the 2023-2024 winter season. UA-cam’s algorithm has been very unpredictable and tends to favor compilations, while only showing individual videos to very few users. Many times I need to delete the individual videos and repost the clips in longer compilations - otherwise UA-cam just stops showing the channel’s videos altogether.
Two thoughts while watching this: 1) Stability control saves lives. 2) Stability control can't save you if you point the wheels in the wrong direction.
Tech also does not suddenly give tires more grip. I drive a 21 year old Toyota Corolla that I bought in December for $2,700. The first thing I did was buy a set of Nokian Haakappilliitta R5 winter tires. $900 worth of tires may be overkill, but I have grip no matter what.
Is that because there's no regular driver training or testing so people will just forget what they read after decades of driving until they're taught it in a very unpleasant way?
Snowed near Banff, Canada last week, and Pike's Peak got a dusting last night. Yes, gearing up for all the craziness from the ice and snow for the 24/25 season. Thanks Dan
The day I sold my snow blower and left South Bend, IN for Long Beach, CA was a happy one. I spent years handling claims driving all over northern IN in the winter in little front drive cars and never had a problem but was in fear of my life from idiots driving 65-70 mph in a blinding snow storm on I-80 because they apparently thought AWD and ABS would save them.
Yea that's how they do in Texas too nowadays. Tldr don't move to Texas. When a tornado touches down in front of everyone, or when a thunderstorm starts dumping down so much rain, as soon as it starts raining people go from 90mph in a 55 to 120mph in a 55. It's like that scene in star wars with the pod race, when rain starts hitting your windshield the road starts to roar with people in their 2024 dodge goliaths accelerating to 120 to 140mph. There's crosses all over the roads out here because of all of the death.
This is great to see and remind me why on don't drive on icy and snowy days. If not you will lose control, someone else is going to. Just don't need those headaches. Thanks for this video.
IT IS AMAZING HOW MANY ADULTS STILL DON'T REALIZE THAT A BRIDGE IS DOUBLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING ON THE UNDERSIDE TO ACT LIKE AN INSULATOR FROM THE FREEZING!!!!
They never trained themselves how to think properly when they panic. So they're not even thinking about the fact that the steering is useless with the tires locked up. And the closer they get to the object they are about to hit they usually press the brake pedal harder and harder as if it's going to stop any more than it already is. Similar to a deer in headlights. They freeze up on their actions to the point they are not taking the correct actions
Is it really have that much affect? ( winter tiers) I mean is it depends on the car traction control and stability control systems or it’s just the summer tiers , I’m a Accord 2017 owner and thankfully didn’t face that kind of slippery roads
I learned how to truly drive in this mess in North Dakota. Then I learned that people think they can still drive the speed limit in this mess in Pa and Md. People need to not freak out and lock their their brakes...it just makes things worse. LOL
❤ 19 states give driver's licenses to people who cannot read or speak English. A.K.A. non citizens. Including the state that I live in, Pennsylvania. Learn when to use your brakes and when not to!😂
That's one reason I still keep my manual VW. I can downshift and keep the transmission in whatever gear I need. It slows the car down and I don't have to risk locking up my brakes.
Yup I'm Canadian 59 I gave automatics and I downshift all the time on hills to slow down and stay off the brakes. Also if icy put in neutral so drive train isn't pushing u forward then tap and release gently on brakes repeatedly until at bottom of hill. Works great. Never had an accident and driven many large trucks horse trailers campers uhauls food trucks etc in Canada's worst winter weather. @@Negentropy369
Thank you for posting these videos. I think I learn things and hope it translates to action when faced with icy situations. Since it's you filming all of this: stay safe out there!
LOL! AWD + winter tires, I love winter, I've never had a problem driving in snow or ice. The right equipment and the correct amount of common sense, no problem.
That first person is literally the example of why car crashes still occur. Driving way too fast, not slowing down for occurrences that are ahead on the road. They shouldn't have even been driving in that area due to the fire trucks
I remember the first time i hit ice in a big rig, Was talking to my dad on the CB and all he hears me start to laugh then no sound. he did not know Me and another semi truck was sliding right next to each other, Thankfully we both knew what we were doing so got it under control and slowed down alot. tip for another one driving thru Baltimore during snow/ice, just dont they dont salt it lol
Wisconsin plows shut down at 8pm during a storm, and won't start plowing until around 5am the next day. So if you're going into Wisconsin during a snowstorm, park it after 8pm or take your chances.
speed and bald tires is always the biggest factor. I'm a trucker in the midwest and I drive through black ice and blizzard conditions at 2am every night at winter..it's super simple. slow tf down and change your tires and you'll be okay. if you do start sliding don't just spam your brake pedal. keep your feet off the pedals and try to guide the vehicle in the direction you wanna go.
i live in the upper peninsula of michigan. i found out years ago, that when trying to stop (especailly going down hill), it helps to put the car in neutral. the driving axel (wheels) are not fighting against the brakes (or the opposing wheels). it seems to help out.

Teenager late 80s last one out of movie theater I worked at. Freezing rain and snow covered big empty parking lot. I had a blast! After some time local PD pulled up ask if I was done playing. He always in lot at closing and weekends.
Some of those tractor operators should have gotten a bonus for how they were able to slip and slide around, while stopping without damaging anything. True professionals!
For the life of me I don’t understand why people don’t SLOW DOWN on icy roads. And why doesn’t the Counties or cities put something down on the roads to melt the ice. I know some states use ice, which rusts the vehicles. Here in Washington state they use chemicals that destroy the undercarriage of our vehicles. So during the winter I take our vehicles through the car wash and they spray underneath our vehicles to try to save them from being destroyed.
Scariest day of my life as a truck driver. I had to bring a set of empty doubles back to the terminal. It had snowed just an inch or two, but it was very cold out. So the snow doesn’t melt from the traffic, it just gets compressed. I stayed in the right lane and drove 30mph, and still I saw that rear trailer start to fishtail a few times. Trailers that are empty or very light are much more dangerous than heavy loads. They are more prone to skid and to tip over.
Breaking hard is the worst thing u can do in slippery situations. Wat u want to do is no gas, no break, or gear down if possible and just steer. Steer where u want to go, if the car over steering counter steer the car will aventually find grip and will straighten up. But remember, hard breaking is a no no, hard breaking will lock ur tires up, and all u can do if the wheels lock up is let jesus take the wheel lol and always look ahead for an out
If you have real winter tiers you brake hard and the abs system takes care of everything, here in the north of Sweden we have vinter 5 to 6 month ever year, driving in slippery condition is something everyone learns when they take there driving lessons.
@@ulgn1964 doesn’t matter your tires. Black ice and snow aren’t the same. You can have the best winter tires on earth or the worst summer tires, both will slide all the same. Ice doesn’t care😂
Driving in snow/ice is relatively easy. Step one, SLOW DOWN. Step two, dont use the brakes, or as minimally as possible. Step three, turn into a slide to keep car going as strait as possible. And lastly , dont practice your driving skills on the road, use an empty parking lot (cops still get mad but at least you wont hit anyone else). I was able to miss two cars at the bottom of an ice covered hill, despite unwillingly gaining speed, by not using the brakes. And yes, bridges freeze first overpasses and underpasses.
Wow so many I thought were gonna crush then it was saved! Instead of sheer dumb luck I like to use dedicated Nokian winter tyres and AWD but man some of those drivers had some spectacular saves!
Went to Dallas years ago from Chicago on business, and the guy sent to pick me up was from Minnesota originally. We were amused at all the crashed cars in those long overpasses on stilts they have down there. Up here we put dirt under them for as long as we can cause you know when they have air under them, they freeze up real easy. Even in his two wheel drive pick up we made it safe and sound, no drama, cause of good old muscle memory, which our yahoo brethren lacked.
Many problems created from driving in winter are due to summer tires or cheaply bought tires. I live in Canada, and good winter tires are a j they're so expensive here, so who can blame the person for getting what's in his/her price range. And I'm not too sure about the other provinces here, but in Quebec, it's law. So, no matter what, if you have summer tires on still after the change deadline and have an accident, you're automatically liable. So... basically, even if they're cheap, they'll save your ass in the long term. Winter hasn't hit yet, but it's getting quite cool here, and so yeah, soon enough, the car body shops will be busy in no time, lol.
For over 20 years, I lived in Oregon and Washington State. Living at elevation in Washington, way out in the sticks, I would come out to a foot of snow. In my experience, the number one road hazard in snow and ice, besides speed, are the pick-up trucks and the 4 wheel drive vehicles! These people would fly down the road without weight in the back of the pick-up or some sort of traction control such as chains or snow tires. These vehicles were always in the ditch or, smashed into some other object. I drove my old 1985 Toyota truck 2 wheel drive in the worst conditions. Weight in the back, chains and attempting my best to stay away from other vehicles. My number 1 advice to people who must drive in adverse conditions such as snow and ice: SLOW DOWN!
Frightening that so few countries have mandatory slippery driving to get their driver's license. We have mandatory slippery driving and It is also illegal not to have approved winter tires between 1 December to April 15.
When will people understand that just because you have 4wd or awd, you are invincible in icy/snowy conditions. Yes, you can accelerate better, but you still have to stop. My recommendation, studded snowtires and slowing way down.
Is almost that time again..drive when its necessary, get winter tires, stay out of other blind spots, leave at least a car length or two, and slow tf down, last dont lock those brake
because it's not practical to include driving on ice and snow as part of your driving test , you must practice on a less traveled street/road . when i use to live in upstate NY , i would pull out of my drive way , make sure no one is coming and then accelerate noticing at what point the wheels begin to slip . then do the same for braking . repeat several times to get a feel for the conditions . Each day is different according to temp. humidity , depth of snow etc. aside from that main rule is if there is no one behind you honking , you are going too fast 😂
From the South but have driven in snow many times. I never had a problem with all season tires, front wheel drive and common sense. People think 4wd gives them magic super powers in snow and it may help when you are starting off, but when moving you have the same 4 wheels on the road as a 2wd, and 4wd can't help you stop. I notice in these videos that on ice when stopping at the stop sign or stop light that no one seems to shift into neutral. It helps especially on the downhill to a stoplight or stop sign
the most amazing thing is that none of the cars have ABS working. that is, in fact, either their function is turned off, or it is not a function at all in this machine, because as much as I looked, they do not work at all in theory. and most of all, all that strikes is the truck drivers, that's where the professionalism is really there. to drive such a car and so masterfully a driver is generally super.
I’d stay late or take time off to leave really early. Even in my mountain city, where folks should be competent/prepared, the conditions are a minor issue compared to other drivers.
Some of the drivers spinning around in circles and end up stopping sideways in the middle of the road and then just SITTING THERE NOT EVEN TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE WAY IS RIDICULOUS.
Do not lockup your brakes, you loose steering when wheels can't rotate. You will still be out of control but at least you can steer towards least path of damage!
Ohhhhh... I was about to ask why some cars slide out of control while others don't appear to be affected at all. Different tires for different seasons! (We don't get ice on roads here, ever.) Is it unlawful to drive a car in winter with summer tires and vice versa?
I live in Idaho. I love, every winter, seeing the nice and shiny sports cars and 4x4 trucks (usually with out of state plates), sitting at the near by body shop, with smashed front ends. Sadly, they almost certainly crashed into someone who was driving responsibly for the conditions. Friendly PSA. Snow and ice are slippery. Slow down!
Thank you all for your continued viewership and support over the years! Stay tuned to this channel for new clips from the upcoming 2024-2025 winter season!

Thank you for your hard work on these fantastic videos!
That is just crazy.
The amount of people that don’t understand, if your wheels aren’t spinning, your steering does nothing, is astonishing.
Depends which wheels are not spinning! Ie handbrake turn....
If your wheels are spinning but traction or friction is lost due to water or ice, your steering does nothing for you.
So should they just sit there and stick their heads out the window and watch their Tires until steering becomes effective again? 😂
@@coop6951 If you don't know if your tires are spinning or not you should not be driving in winter conditions.
Thank You, for posting the video and not putting stupid commentary or bad music in it. Greatly appreciated.
Correct👍👍
Two thoughts while watching this:
1) Stability control saves lives.
2) Stability control can't save you if you point the wheels in the wrong direction.
You mean stability control or ABS? If I had to choose one of those two in snow I would always go for ABS.
@@Arturro671 It works by using the ABS systems hardware, you can't have it without having ABS first.
Traction control will not save you from driving way too fast for conditions on the road. Tech does not overcome stupidity.
Tech also does not suddenly give tires more grip. I drive a 21 year old Toyota Corolla that I bought in December for $2,700. The first thing I did was buy a set of Nokian Haakappilliitta R5 winter tires. $900 worth of tires may be overkill, but I have grip no matter what.
Neither can help you if you lock up all four…
One thing has NOT changed in the 60 years I have been driving. There are a lot of drivers who refuse to understand "driving too fast for conditions."
Is that because there's no regular driver training or testing so people will just forget what they read after decades of driving until they're taught it in a very unpleasant way?
Absolutely.
Theryre those who don’t understand and then they’re those who don’t care
@@zzoinksno it’s more so just a human with not much going on up there in the 🧠😂
It’s amazing how many people see cars off the road and still proceed at a normal speed without slowing down.
Not only that, when they save the car they just sit there in the middle of the road. I'm like, MOOOVE!
I noticed that too even though cars are spinning around and the roads are icy they are still maintaining high speed. One word for them MORONS
Snowed near Banff, Canada last week, and Pike's Peak got a dusting last night. Yes, gearing up for all the craziness from the ice and snow for the 24/25 season. Thanks Dan
Gearing up for another warm winter man we haven't had a winter since the 70s get out of here
Who cares!
At 2:47 that was the best driving I have ever seen! Well done my friend.
2:26 Brilliant save.
That's certainly not a Swift driver.
That was for sure the most talent in this video!!
Or Great Western
I was going to comment on that one too ... that truck driver was amazing!! .. Didn't hit a thing!!!
6:06 CRV driver definitely went home and changed their pants after that
That time of year is fast approaching! ❄️ Bridges ice up pretty quickly.
🎵Got those Summertires, Summertires madness. Su- Su- Su- Summertires, Summertires madness🎶
Love your channel so much! Can’t wait to watch more of your winter weather videos

Abs worst thing ever invented for Canadian winters.
Brilliant driving g from.that trucker 2:51
A set of Good Snow tires would be a life saver
2:57 ah yes, the forbidden technique of swing your trailer into soil to slow you down
He pulled it off, didn't he?
Mini ahead wasn't fazed one bit...
If he did that on purpose, that was AWESOME

So many of these flying along with all four wheels locked up, how did they think they were going to steer after turning their tires into skates?
They never trained themselves how to think properly when they panic. So they're not even thinking about the fact that the steering is useless with the tires locked up. And the closer they get to the object they are about to hit they usually press the brake pedal harder and harder as if it's going to stop any more than it already is. Similar to a deer in headlights. They freeze up on their actions to the point they are not taking the correct actions
My thoughts exactly
@@rcrocker02 I think a deer could drive better than some of these folks🙂
You can either stop or steer on ice. Sometimes neither. Never both
A lot of these possibly could have been steered out of if the wheels weren't locked up
Summer tires. Summer tires everywhere.
Stupid drivers everywhere who don't have the sense to slow down !
Why did I say this in woody's voice in my head 😂
Reminds me now to switch to my winters before it hits lol
Is it really have that much affect? ( winter tiers) I mean is it depends on the car traction control and stability control systems or it’s just the summer tiers , I’m a Accord 2017 owner and thankfully didn’t face that kind of slippery roads
not necessarily, but in some cases likely. Most of the shots are on an overpass, which freezes over very quickly and can catch people off guard
COMING IN HOT!! 🤣

The truck driver in the left lane at 2:28 to 2:52 deserves a prize. He is a legend of a driver!!
In eastern Washington we loved to tune into Seattle news when it snowed just to watch people like this.
They go crazy at Snoqualmie pass 😂
This is one of many reasons why, I HATE WINTER.

Wisconsin plows shut down at 8pm during a storm, and won't start plowing until around 5am the next day. So if you're going into Wisconsin during a snowstorm, park it after 8pm or take your chances.

I'm not ready!

I'd rather drive in extreme cold than a couple degrees below freezing. Couple degrees below and it's greasy af
Amazing

I like the black pickup sliding out of control. Appropriately called the Chevy Avalanche 😂
All season radials at your service! They don't work in the snow and ice but, but, but, the salesman said...

These people would fly down the road without weight in the back of the pick-up or some sort of traction control such as chains or snow tires. These vehicles were always in the ditch or, smashed into some other object. I drove my old 1985 Toyota truck 2 wheel drive in the worst conditions. Weight in the back, chains and attempting my best to stay away from other vehicles. My number 1 advice to people who must drive in adverse conditions such as snow and ice: SLOW DOWN!
Blowing snow, freezing ice, freezing snow and ice, black ice, blizzards, white outs..what is wrong with everyone?
Some of those truckers were impressive!
Frightening that so few countries have mandatory slippery driving to get their driver's license. We have mandatory slippery driving and It is also illegal not to have approved winter tires between 1 December to April 15.
Remember, if there's cars in the ditch, keep driving fast. 😂
THIS SHOWS THAT COMMON SENSE IS NOT VERY COMMON AT ALL!!!!!!
The skill of 2:30 great save
Why does everyone continue to drive normal or speed and it slippery, bad weather?
17:32 they might be able to steer and move better if they took their foot off the brake while trying to go!
True ice drifting be like
When will people understand that just because you have 4wd or awd, you are invincible in icy/snowy conditions. Yes, you can accelerate better, but you still have to stop. My recommendation, studded snowtires and slowing way down.
icy road and everybody driven fast creazy thing
"Let's play a game"
How many of these could have been avoided?
2:27 that was either luck or skill or both
Is almost that time again..drive when its necessary, get winter tires, stay out of other blind spots, leave at least a car length or two, and slow tf down, last dont lock those brake
because it's not practical to include driving on ice and snow as part of your driving test , you must practice on a less traveled street/road .
when i use to live in upstate NY , i would pull out of my drive way , make sure no one is coming and then accelerate noticing at what point the wheels begin to slip . then do the same for braking . repeat several times to get a feel for the conditions .
Each day is different according to temp. humidity , depth of snow etc.
aside from that main rule is if there is no one behind you honking , you are going too fast 😂
From the South but have driven in snow many times. I never had a problem with all season tires, front wheel drive and common sense. People think 4wd gives them magic super powers in snow and it may help when you are starting off, but when moving you have the same 4 wheels on the road as a 2wd, and 4wd can't help you stop. I notice in these videos that on ice when stopping at the stop sign or stop light that no one seems to shift into neutral. It helps especially on the downhill to a stoplight or stop sign
the most amazing thing is that none of the cars have ABS working. that is, in fact, either their function is turned off, or it is not a function at all in this machine, because as much as I looked, they do not work at all in theory. and most of all, all that strikes is the truck drivers, that's where the professionalism is really there. to drive such a car and so masterfully a driver is generally super.
I’d stay late or take time off to leave really early. Even in my mountain city, where folks should be competent/prepared, the conditions are a minor issue compared to other drivers.
Some of the drivers spinning around in circles and end up stopping sideways in the middle of the road and then just SITTING THERE NOT EVEN TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE WAY IS RIDICULOUS.
2:30 trucker deserves an award!
Everybody in a hurry to go nowhere
Over driving conditions is crazy 😅
Do not lockup your brakes, you loose steering when wheels can't rotate. You will still be out of control but at least you can steer towards least path of damage!
This is just like when these types were in the electric car washer. Remember
Ohhhhh... I was about to ask why some cars slide out of control while others don't appear to be affected at all. Different tires for different seasons! (We don't get ice on roads here, ever.)
Is it unlawful to drive a car in winter with summer tires and vice versa?
I live in Idaho. I love, every winter, seeing the nice and shiny sports cars and 4x4 trucks (usually with out of state plates), sitting at the near by body shop, with smashed front ends. Sadly, they almost certainly crashed into someone who was driving responsibly for the conditions. Friendly PSA. Snow and ice are slippery. Slow down!
