When you been driving in these conditions your whole life you tend to get comfortable. I live in New England and I can say I drive way to fast in the snow.
@@Boraxo 3:35 to the right of the screen is a car facing traffic what looks like it's in the fence. you can see the skid marks leading to where the car is. I think you should be the one looking again.
@@gregoryhodge9452 I'm saying it doesn't have to be a 20-car pileup to be an accident. I'm sorry if it didn't meet your expectations, thanks for watching.
Thanks for letting ride along, buddy! I miss I-80, I miss snow, I miss the western part of the US. It's been 15-20 years since I drove on 80 with a similar amount of snow and ice. I was happy to not be at the wheel for this drive.
See the dangerous part about driving through Wyoming is that the ground can be visible one minute been completely covered in ice the next because it's hard for them to plow because it snows all the time drive safe slowly and keep your distance
@@AM-rp5rr no I mean, u How do U know Not the person in the video. The person driving knows how cold the temps been hence if there’s ice. Don’t assume there’s ice, bc more than likely it’s not unless temps are cold enough.
@@OFFICIALBROTHERBOLDLYMUSICK If you don't assume there is ice in Wyoming in those conditions you've got a better than even chance of winding up dead, badly injured, with a totaled vehicle or a combination of the two. Here's the thing in WY. Early on, we get snow. It melts when the temps get into the 40s, and then freezes that night and the cycle repeats. so there's a layer of patchy ice on the ground from December to March. and until the thaw just keeps morphing. "Blowing snow" doesn't sound intimdating until you've driven in it. You can be clipping along at 80 on a clear road and all of a sudden you hit a patch of drifted snow/ice and you're in trouble. It's very dangerous to drive in WY in the winter. I pretty much stay in town for the winter. I save my longer drives for the summer.
Was headed east at that time. 80 has been so bad this year. Was stuck in Lexington NE a few weeks ago. Then this storm added to the ice that was already there. Be safe.
As a Wyoming expat now in Minnesota, it was nice to see Pine Bluffs and some of the road to my hometown of Cheyenne. Been on that road many times. Thanks
I suspect you are going 65 mph. Too fast for existing conditions. I drove 22 years without an accident. One s.mall error and you would be in deep trouble.
Kudos to you I suppose. I applaud WY for getting 1 lane mostly clear. My truck doesn't go fast enough to not be a hazard out there in dry conditions. You all can have that, I'm out...
I want to know about your camera mount. I’m not going to complain about the video as I just spent 42 hours in Cheyenne waiting for Nebraska to reopen I-80 a couple weeks ago.
Yeah, I'm sitting in Cheyenne right now waiting to go west lol. The camera mount I'm using it's just the one that comes with it. It's got adhesive, and I stuck it right on the dash.
I used to run trailer out west. I recognize that Exxon at Pine Bluff. Used to fill up my truck there. Wyoming was always a risky drive in the winter. I rapidly figured out to check the weather and road conditions before taking a load there.
That's why wrecks happen because drivers go racing around other's doing the speed limit rather than doing a safe speed like the guy that was filming this video
I’d. Like to know why truck manufacturers take the trailer hand brake control off the steering column and fit it down on the dash, pulling the trailer brake on only pulls the truck out of a jackknife situation, having the control at your hand makes it quick to use
Just because it was a small vehicle accident doesn't mean there wasn't an accident. HWP was on scene. I actually watched to see road conditions. I drive a small vehicle but rely on our truckdrivers that post video to get a first hand account of things. Thank you for the info.
You have to drive there to understand I 80 Wyoming is not normal believe me I am from Indiana I know what driving in snow is but this is not like the north east it's very very tricky there unpredictable
Dude maybe it’s the camera but you look as if you’re hauling a$$! Slow down. Then you’re just hitting those slick bridges wide open that’s the fastest way to jackknife. Atleast you are smart enough to fall back from that super trucker
Hats Odd to Real Driver’s Got in the wind just ridding & gliding No Jerking The Wheels No Riding The Brakes Jut Trucking! Not their first trip in the snow! No one screaming Slow Down
your driving way to fast for those conditions. then you get some idiot trucker passing you in left lane which is snow covered. now we know why there are so many pile ups, involving semis.
THESE CRASHES ARE OK.... THESE ROOKIES CAN PASS A DRUG TEST... Stop drug testing for after hour use of MARIJUANA... Thousands of experience drivers want to go back to work
