Nobody is saying he shouldn't brake at all, he should be on and off the brakes to try keep speed low... you should always do everything you can to remain in control of your vehicle, especially if it's a HGV or PSV.

@@HimachaliKauwa it does not make a single differnece if you brake with your engines mass or the brake pads. the problem is your tires losing grip and sliding when you brake to hard/lock up.
@@user-gz3qd3jn4r You are talking nonsense. ... If you brake - weels do not roll and you slide , especially on higher speed . If you are driving in low gear - first gear for example, your weels gonna roll but not so fast . It would be very low speed caused by low gear . It's called Motor- braking . On lower speed you can eventually brake slightly , very short if needed . Second thing that is dangerous is change of speed . Speed has to be constant . Pressure put by foot has to be constant in order not to change speed . If you put too much force when climbing uphill you can cause your weels to roll and slide slide in that place and you will slide eventually backwards... same goes for driving downhill - change in speed is causing to slide . I'm sorry my English isn't the best , not native tongue. I'm from Serbia and we have in winter very high snow , driving conditions poor 😒 and ofc we mastered driving on ice/snow . So I'm talking from my own experience, more then 25 years license, no car crush Big problem is automatic gear, and some of the cars and most of the modern city busses have automatic gear .

Most busses are automatic so it's a job not to unless you want to pick up a lot of speed which you then have to try and stop. Also, it's rear engined so even if you turn into a slide the weight will still come round.

This is the mentality of service bus operators....the drivers will tell them how bad it is yet the gaffers just turn around and tell them to get out there anyway...
I was once on a school bus that did something similar. The driver was surprised when I and a few others decided to get off at the next stop. I couldn't see conditions improving but he was intent on carrying on.

Scaring thing when driving the big vehicles in that weather.. You sometimes have to let go of the brake, to regain control of the front wheels, in order to steer. Especially creepy, if you are caught on a hill and have to reverse
