Any snow that sits for a few days, through multiple freeze/thaw cycles, can turn into a sheet of ice. At high speed, this compact snow or ice sheet can lift off from the roof and put a hole in the windshield of the car behind you!

I floor my Civic and let traction control work at the same time to get moving or stay moving to get up hills. Works, never gotten stuck (knock on wood). I also coast when ever I turn if its slick, if you gas or brake it could make you loose traction and slide. ABS is also a godsend.

@marthewww 7 лет назад

In understeer you Should Not just off the throttle. Always cluch down, off the throttle (100%) so wheels can spin freely. In modern cars you should not risk with handbrake, ESP will lock rearwheels just in time. All other stuff was quite right. Comment from Estonia, snow and ice: november til middle of march :))

@thedijon 2 года назад

If you are sliding mid-turn in FWD, you actually want to steer where you want to go and apply gas. The front wheels will "pull" the car in the direction you want to go.

@ChristinaKilgore 6 лет назад

my tip: Recognize what type of differential you have. With most cars, you're sporting an open differential, which means if one tire has the least little bit of friction and the other tire has absolutely none, you ain't going nowhere. If you want to make sure you have the best traction possible, make sure both tires are getting the same amount of traction throughout the system.

Surprised you didn't mention that sometimes when sliding sideways that throttle input in FWD can help pull the car out of the slide (as opposed to the brakes in that situation that may send you into a spin). Love the videos and GTI otherwise, I agree with everyone, unless you're getting an Audi or something, keep it! Haha

@DeTomaso55 4 года назад

There is no difference. What will probably happen if one driven tire gets more traction that the other is your tire that is on ice/snow will start to spin because of open differential. But when your tires loose grip and start to spin ESP or some kind of traction control shoudl kick in to prevent them from prining too much. just try to feel the car and feel when tires start to spin, you can try countering it by easing of the gas slightly to give your tires some grip.

@Subastolis Год назад

For using handbrake in understeer situations the car must not be going completely straight because then it will do nothing. Besides, most of today's cars have electronic parking brakes. The solution to understeer is to let off the gas, straighten the steering wheel so the tires regain traction, and turn smoothly again.

@livvielizard7409 2 года назад

You ever think that maybe that young driver studied driving not that long ago. And anything he learned in drivers Ed and defensive driving courses are still fresh in his mind. Sometimes a new driver is better then an old driver just because they understand the rules better as they were just tested on it and had to spend month studying something the old driver hasn't studied in decades. Now that not always true ofcourse, some people don't take those courses. But everyone should. I did and I dont regret it. I know the rules of the road better then allot and have learned allot of tips to help during winter driving or during a mechanical failure. They thought us everything from how to get out of a slide to how to stop of ur car if your gas pedal sticks or your brakes fail or power goes out and there's no power steering or brakes. In my opinion everyone should have to take those courses to get a licence.

@sindrerisan6586 6 лет назад

Honestly just drive with caution. If you were to loose grip there is close to nothing that you can really do. Let off the gas, stay calm and just hope that you'll regain grip. As long as you drive smoothly and at a lower speed than normal through corners, you should be fine. And ALWAYS drive with the correct tyres. Snow tyres, maybe even studded tyres if you live somewhere where it is moist and freezing during night-time.
