Ridiculously icy hill

  • This was near North Seattle WA on January 1st around 9am.
    This hill was covered in black ice and I happened to total my car. So, while waiting for a ride, I documented how icy this hill was. Most cars besides mine had trouble and several others ended up on the side of the road as well; I believe there was 2-4 in ditches or unable to drive.
    I do not drive the Prius, but a car off camera, despite many comments believing such.
    I saw very few cars get down or up successfully without sliding around at least a little, and in most cases a lot.
    Also, all of you that are trying to blame me for not warning people or putting salt down are stupid, so just stop posting that. If it makes you sleep better at night, I DID call the police and inform them of the road condition. Shortly after this, the road was salted.
    I have a 2nd quicker video that shows my car.

      Studded tires do help on black ice, an issue we see here much too often. They can also cause issues on regular pavement. Without a rubber contact patch gripping the road, studded tires can be as slick as black ice. I haven’t used chains for decades.
      Snow is a problem, but ice and black ice is deadly. Stay home if possible.

    When I was a kid we lived next to a busy highway in Idaho, with a river immediately on the other side of the highway. One cold winter morning the sharp curve near us was solid black ice. After one vehicle went off the road entirely, nearly ending up in the river, we spent the morning by the road trying to slow people down. I don't think anyone paid attention to us. One other car went off the road that day, and several others hit the guard rail on the other side. It took the highway patrol 45 minutes to arrive.

      Yep, get a running start and then if you can drive at all, you will make it. When my brother and his wife moved to Arizona , he got up and ready for work. He noticed a little bit of snow and ice. No problem. He is a doctor and they had the roads shut down. They let him get through. His wife has a Camaro and see headed out to work. The police had the road shut down. She stopped and ask why. They tried telling her that she wasn’t allowed on the road and especially in that car. She tried telling them where she was from and we were used to driving on ice. They wouldn’t let her. She got back home and called me and explained it to me. We just laughed because we can drive on the ice. When I started driving, well years ago, all we had was rear wheel driven vehicles. Once you learn that and have plenty of hills to either get up or down, you just learn.

Can't blame the cops, people don't know how to drive in the rain in AZ let alone ice, there were probably already a handful of accidents up ahead as it was.

  • @kudzem
    @kudzem Před rokem +12

    Always use winter tires in cold. Go slow on ice and snow. Use high gear uphill, low gear downhill. Don't brake or throttle aggressively. If you need to brake think of engine braking by lowering the gear. If you slide try this to regain control: Let go of the pedals. Turn the wheel in the direction you're sliding, that is, try to align the wheels with the direction the car is actually sliding -- not where you want it to go.

      Just a little bit of education in PHYSICS and you would KNOW that a mass (the vehicle) will continue in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. So get it going at a good speed AND stay at that speed, DO NOT try to accelerate or brake, DO NOT turn the steering wheel... and unless you hit something on the road (chunk of ice or pothole) your car will continue in a straight line up the hill. Of course, if something gets in your way, you're going to hit it.

      Its a double edged sword, if you get at the hill with speed youll have the momentum to get over it but not the ability to turn or stop which is more dangerous. Everyone who drives knows that the faster you go the greater risk of accident (Anon).

Early FWD's had up to 80% of their weight on the front giving them awesome snow traction, but that also left them open to spinning out in corners a lot. They balanced the new ones out more for better handling so now they get stuck in snow very easy. Especially with those shitty modern "low profile" tires. I'd put a heavy RWD sedan up against any new FWD, especially with 200# of sand in the back.

    Bit late to reply maybe, but the key is not to slam the brakes to lock the wheels up but instead gradually apply them in order to slow down on slippery surface.

    That last driver nailed it. Depending on how long the hill is the only way you're going to get up it is to carry a head of steam into it or you'll just spin out about half way up and slide back down. So gun it and go is the method.

    • @yangsrealm2536
      @yangsrealm2536 Před 2 lety +3

      Yes, but that advice should also be heeded with caution. If you “gun it” on a slippery surface like this you’re leaving a lot up to chance. And that could potentially result painfully. Without studded tires, you don’t have a lot of control on ice which is dangerous when you’re in a 2 ton vehicle capable of 100+ MPH. To counter this, you’d just drive slower. It’s much safer, and you can actually stay in control of the wheel. But if you can’t make it up a hill then you have two options. Turn around, or full speed ahead. There is a reason some folks would rather turn around.

    if you ever start slipping turn ur wheel left and right slowly as u go up a hill, this gives you horizontal traction and slowly but surly you can work your way out of it. Also having winter tires helps, Didn't look like anyone but the truck and that silver car had winters. While driving in winter you need confidence not cockiness. Practice in snow parking lots to help with your familiarity. Growing up in Vermont where there's no flat land at all and just hills and mountains I learned very quickly how to drive in snow. Now that I live in PA and no-one can drive on snow cause they aren't used to it, (where I live) im just trotting down the road like its nothin. Its all about familiarity and your ability to drive in snow. It is honestly talent and skill many people don't possess. Glad it comes easy to me. Good luck winter drivers!

    This is the reason in Colorado, we ALWAYS have a PAIR of STUDDED TIRES which we always switched to when the "real Winter" starts --- usually late November if not earlier.
