I want to address the "why didn't you warn people" critics on this video. There are several reasons why this is a completely unreasonable thing to expect me to do. First, of all, these videos are shot during winter storms when roads and bridges are icy across multiple states. Authorities and DOT crews are well aware of the conditions, in fact, you can see plows working during my videos. Furthermore, police officers have told me to stop trying to warn drivers roadside. Their vehicles with bright flashing lights are often hit by out of control cars and trucks. Do you get winter weather (ice and snow) where you live? I'm assuming then, if you are one of those who think that it is somehow effective or advisable for civilians to be waving down drivers/putting up signs on the side of a dangerously icy road, that YOU do this where you live during winter storms? If not, then why do you expect ANYONE to do it, especially TV cameramen out doing their jobs? Can you cite one example of where you've seen this civilian "roadside warning" during winter storms being performed and it being effective? Ask what law enforcement and EMS personnel think of this idea, when their big vehicles with bright flashing lights are routinely hit by out of control drivers. The "why don't you warn" idea is a knee-jerk one by people who aren't at all thinking about what they are saying. Furthermore, there are videos on my channel that show me warning drivers during bridge icing in the South - one of those rare times that it had even a remote chance of working. And even then, I could not get people to notice me unless I stepped into the road IN FRONT OF THEM, frantically waving. Police officers on the scene told me to NOT to do it. I have spent 9 years on the icyroadsafety.com site trying to educate and warn the driving public AHEAD OF TIME. It's just incredible how some think I should put my life on the line along icy roads in a futile attempt to prevent a couple of fender benders. If you think that this roadside warning is something that should be done, then I expect YOU to try doing it yourself in your neighborhood during the next winter storm - then tell me how it went for you. I would also like you to ask any police officer or first responder what they think of your actions.

Found myself cheering for anyone who counter steered and was very light on the brakes.

0:25 love how the guy flips his car but instantly remembers to put his hazards lights on. Hats off sir.

Props to the guy at 7:11 for both threading the needle and not hitting anything else, including any of the 3 already crashed cars

Gotta love seeing those clean drifts away from the wall and the close calls

0:13: dude just climbs out of the car and starts walking away like nothing happened

Can you imagine all the "nonononono"'s

5:12 happened to me the other day while turning onto a wet road with bad tires. Luckily the lanes were clear, after my 180 the light had changed and everybody waited for me to turn around. Watching these makes me realize it could’ve been a whole lot worse

0:13 ... i love how this guy crashes the car , hits the rear bumper , flips the car and breaks the rear window ... and then just get out , get up and walks away like he's having a stroll on a sunday evening.

7:13 so we’re not going to talk abt how this dude just drifted between 2 cars?

7:11 ABSOLUTE LEGEND

Amazed at how many idiots drive in winter weather, rain, including white outs with NO LIGHTS ON! Then if you do spin out, put your flashers on and try and get off on the side or shoulder if able to. And just SLOW DOWN! Hats off to the people who reacted cool under pressure like I saw a number of truck drivers do . Great videos, I think watching these can actually help people to see how and what to do and NOT DO when encountering these road conditions. 27 years of driving truck, majority of that pulling doubles , has taught me a lot with just doing some of the small things, small adjustments in speed,braking,acceleration to maintain control and handle when you do lose traction. Black ice is definitely the worst ! Stay safe out there people, getting ready to see what this winter has to offer 😅

Love the guy at 4:39. Really rescued defeat from the jaws of victory there.

2:00 imagine getting your car under control just to be slammed by someone 😂

People really be driving fast even when the weather is like this 😂

Whenever the roads are treacherous, i always remember what my dad told me 'Its better to arrive late than in a body bag'

props to the dude at 7:13 for avoiding 2 very close car and a police car

The person who lives by the Charleston,West Virginia bridge must love it. Every time it snows or rains they get some entertainment.

1:48 Nicely executed sir! Light input and cool handle on the situation!

I will never understand why people don’t slow down for poor road conditions.

It looks like I’m never going to Charleston, West Virginia.

2:00 poor guy was probably so relieved he didn't crash.... for like 4 seconds.

These generally are one of my favorite videos of cars sliding on ice

i love how truck driver at 0:45 starts slipping a bit and instantly decides to drive onto grass to avoid a bigger accident

1:49 That was SMOOTHE AF! But the one afterwards is my nightmare. Safely coming to a stop only to get hit by the next car.

I love how there is no music. 🙌🙌 the sounds of the cars crashing ads to the video.

5:37 THE FIRE IS SHOOTING AT US

1:48 he's just showing off for the camera. That was smooooooth

4:27 so refreshing to see the rare person who knows what to do in a slide and that's not hit the brakes, use counter-steering. They almost had it.

10:40 I love how frustrated that Dodge van's facial expression looked with that situation XD

7:34 TWT truck is from Kinston NC where they hardly ever have snow but when they do it's usually a screwed up mix of freezing rain and sleet.

Entertaining video with a very good public service announcement at the end. Good job!!

7:12 probably one of the best evasive driving ive seen, sure he was going fast, but he dodged and thats what matters

1:51 *How It Feels To 5GUM*

there is something very satisfying in watching speeding motorists crashing slow down when its icy

I’ve had this happen probably 7 times in my life and I’ve managed to save myself every single time. After the last time I haven’t sped since

worse nightmare losing control on a bridge over water

@7:13 who ever that is got skills in drifting. I give it a 10👍👍👍

One thing missing in that compilation is Tokyo Drift soundtrack. PS. Thank you Dan for your work on documenting those accidents!

Oh boy, it's that season again, I got this in my recommendations

This was the first part of my Sunday night drive from Saint Louis to Jacksonville. It was one of the scariest moments driving the interstate of my life. I managed to drift successfully though without damaging my rental or hitting anything

2:01 : aaanndd saveee 2:04 : sike ;)

One of these days, I'd like to see footage of someone successfully drift around the full length of that curve.

I remember driving down a ramp from one parkway to another. It wasn’t snowing nor was there any ice,but just a wet slick part which was affected from rain. My car slid sideways and came to a stop. But looking to the passenger side and there was a bigger sliding sideways and right there I thought,uh oh gonna have an accident. But luckily it stopped..whew

1:47 Sick 360 entry!!!

The first time I spun on black ice I instantly gained a whole lot of respect for safe winter driving! It's scares the life out of you. I was lucky no one was driving close to me and that I stopped before I smashed into the poles of a big road sign.

0:39 The GTA 5 rules of nature also work in real world ...

I found the car spinning out in snow compilation very scary. The moment at 5:38 was particularly intense, as the car not only spun out of control but also blew up into flames. It's a reminder of just how dangerous driving in snowy conditions can be and how important it is to take precautions and drive slower in such conditions. It's a miracle that the driver managed to get out alive of control but also blew up. It's a good reminder of the dangers of driving in snowy conditions and the importance of being cautious and prepared. It's fortunate that there were no apparent injuries from the explosion, but it's still a sobering reminder of how quickly things can go wrong on the road. Stay safe out there, and make sure to take extra precautions when driving in challenging weather.

why is the quality so good

1:53 cha cha real smoothe

1:48 - 1:56 so smooth, I’m glad they didn’t hit anything

i go over that bridge in charleston wv to go to work every morning , and to this day there are still so many crashes there.

Can we give a round of applause to the semi truck drivers who dodged all the other vehicles?

7:12 my boy knew what he was doing👏🏼

The towing company is "like let's ice up this bridge we gonna get soo much moneyyy tonight" lol

So satisfying to watch....

Gotta love i64 Charleston. Be prepared this winter season! I am, I moved to Arizona! Haven't seen snow since 2008...

1:05 decided to take exit at 50 mph when snowing😂😂😂 Also, How does someone know this is gunna happen and decide they are going to record

I feel like I would rather take a 30 minute detour than experience that bridge in West Virginia

Watching this with the sound off is very therapeutic

I feel bad for these people I hope they did not get hurt and their cars got fixed may God Bless them

I can just picture this dude, sneaking around like Steve Irwin trying to get footage of idiots in their natural habitat..

watching this makes me honestly feel very good about my driving

the 360 was perfect

I grew up driving in ice and snow but moved to Washington DC area for a decade. Drivers from warm places all over the country and world come there and put on a master class of what not to do in a car on slippery roads. My favorites are steering into the skid but simultaneously locking the brakes, making any steering input useless. The big spin outs in these videos always have three brake lights on, and the recoveries frequently do not. Another is slipping on an icy incline and flooring it (because faster = more traction right?) then watching the car go sideways into a parked car or roadside obstacle.

So, how many people who are used to driving in these conditions found themselves coaching the skidding drivers, and cheering when they pulled out of a skid without hitting anything?

I don't understand why I find it relaxing to watch this after I slide out on black ice. It somehow comforts me.

If I'm not mistaken, that icy bridge shown in so many of these clips is the Schuylkill Expressway in Pennsylvania. Known otherwise in local parlance as the SureKill Expressway 😉

Waching this make me feeling warm in our 34°F today

1:48 is my favourite😂360° drift👌🏽

the problem here is excessive braking. panic leads to slamming on brakes which is NOT what you do! tap brakes and control steering.

Been years since I last saw snow, miss it a lot

Those guardrails saved a lot of lives

1:59 when you see a car spinning out like that, you would think you would slow down.

4:06 I just hope the pizza's okay.

2:18 the red truck draw a star on the pavement

The turn right there at oak wood in Charleston has always been a bad part during the winter and even when it’s raining

That bridge really needs one of those “Lights Flashing When Icy” signs

When your playing forza and you bearly touch the grass

I love the fact that most of this is video is just the same bridge and pretty much the same accident every time

I remember back about 20 years ago.... I was in night classes at college and we should have been let out early as it came a huge snow storm for my area. There was around 5 inches on the interstate highway when I left and I was going around 30mph, this white ford explorer flew past me going at least 70 mph. Around two miles up the road where there was a curve, you could see the tire marks in the snow going straight off the road and some lady appeared to be cussing out whomever she was on her cell phone with standing next to that white ford explorer LOL....

7:17 guy narrowly missed cop car and two other civilian vehicles, guy walks right by the sliding car like nothing happened... funny!!

Hmmm, I'm sliding. I should just hold down this brake pedal while I crash. Afterwards, I can sit in the middle of the road for someone else to hit me. Brilliant!

It was crazy seeing a clip on the same street as my work!

Just what I was looking for to relax.

0:48 LMAO it's like he said "Oh that must be the truck stop parking lot!"

1:48 somebody watched 2 fast 2 furious!

the guy at 6:10 knew to power out of the fishtail into a donut, saving him from hitting the wall haha

All season tires doing its magic right here!

This has happened to me, It was all my fault. I thought just because I had all wheel drive that I could run 70 mph on ice covered road, Well guess what, I completely totaled out my new SUV, But I learned something, SLOW DOWN,

sooo why don't people think "gosh! it's snowing and icy, I maybe should slow down?" or is that just crazy talk?

Those Country Roads are looking crazy

I lived in West Virgina for 8 yrs,,had to drive on that Charleston bridge to work every day,,I hated it in the winter,,I left work at 4:30 pm in a snow storm didn't get home until 7:30 pm,,omg when I got to my driveway I started crying,,it was so bad,,now I live in florida thank god

0:25 Dude starts walking off 😂

As a Swede who has snow for several months a year, I can only say that over 90% of the accidents could have been avoided with studded winter tires and keeping a distance of 3 seconds.

Im taking drivers ed currently on aceable and its teaching me sbout hydroplaning and how to deal with it if it happens, or how to prevent it from happening

Good job, great video 😎👍

7:12 give him a medal!

So much over correction, so little countersteer. Also, nice 360 roll-on by the beige Camry from WV.

That bridge in Charleston, West Virginia is lethal
