Great video however if your vehicle has anti lock brakes you CAN turn and brake at the same time as the brakes don't lock. If you are driving a front wheel drive vehicle with anti lock brakes and you go into a skid, gently give it some gas and turn the way you want to go which is the exact opposite of what you do in a rear wheel drive vehicle. Living in Canada driving in winter conditions is a way of life. A couple of things I would like to mention is that if you are in 4 wheel or all wheel drive, your braking distance is actually longer so you really need to give yourself more space than if you are driving a front-wheel drive vehicle. I don't know about Utah roads in the winter but in Alberta we get a lot of black ice on the road. The road will seem clear but is in fact a skating rink. The only way to drive on this is SLOW. I have a question for you Melea. In Alberta a driver can be charged for not driving to the road conditions. So if the speed limit is 50 and you are driving 50 but the roads are bad, you can be charged. Is it the same in Utah? I have always been curious about that.
+Squirl Thanks for all of your insight! Anytime I have driven a car with anti-lock brakes, I've still had issues with them not working correctly with turning and braking at the same time–especially in really bad conditions. That's why I'm so careful and do it myself. Guess I would rather be in control. 😉
No we don't have that rule here in Utah. But most people are pretty smart and are driving under speed limit when road conditions are really bad.
+The Melea Show. It took me a long time to get the hang of anti lock brakes and front wheel drive. So much so that I ended up taking a driving course for it. Abs and front wheel drive is very unforgiving. I have to admit that I really miss the control I felt that I had with regular brakes and rear wheel drive LOL. I think drivers here in Alberta get complacent because we drive winter roads for 7 months out of the year so we need these laws (not that it really deters people). My motto is that any fool can drive fast on bad roads but can they stop when they have to. I am really enjoying your channel. Keep up the great work.

Super awesome. I have actually been driven I the snow many times but never driven myself. We are starting to want to take our kids to the snow but I am basically afraid. so this was super helpful thanks!
+Christina Garcia Glad it helped!!
interesting points ,if anyone else needs to find out about how to overcome phobia of driving a car try Debuncar Fearless Drive Aid (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my cousin got amazing success with it.

I think slowing down is SUPER important. There is nothing so urgent that you need to be going as fast as you normally would. Arrive alive and all of that. ;)Additionally, if your car starts to veer off or spin slightly, take your foot off of the gas, look in the direction in which you'd like your car to go and turn your wheel the direction the back of your car is going, not away from it to gain control over the car again. It's slightly counter-intuitive until you get the hang of it (and, as it turns out, kind of difficult to explain!). As soon as you feel your car gain traction again, straighten the wheel and (if you need to) LIGHTLY apply or tap your breaks. Like Melea said, don't turn and break at the same time. Your hands should make light, gentle movements for correction, nothing sharp or jerking the wheel or you may over-correct your slide.

do you drive standard? if so, it would be awesome if you could make a video on driving stickshift as well. don't forget to show how to reverse too
+jimP71 Yeah, this car is. Driving in the snow with a stickshift is a little different. But I grew up learning that way. So that's a great idea!
the dare still stands

So glad it helped!

Great tips. Leave more room between your car and the car in front of you is another good tip. $

Hey, great info. on breaking and turning in the snow. I'm originally from New York, but have been living in California for years. I get paranoid when i go home and is asked to drive somewhere after it has snowed. I always turn down because I'm not sure that I could drive safely in the snow.$

I remember that moment the first time a car drove past me while I was driving, I was freaking out internallyð

Great information! I grew up in an area without snow; it will be my first year driving in a place that has snowfall so these tips will definitely come in handy.

Thank u thank u thank u!!!!!!!! Iâm new to the east & I needed this tutorial threat demo
Issue I'm having is clearing windshield while driving. Windshield wipers stop working and ice builds up on glass. Freaks me out because visibility drops and gets worse at night and other car lights make it worse
My issue is intersection lights that turn red while I have momentum (I'm going slow mind you and anticipating the light change) with very little stopping time. And cars that cut me off to make their turn without much distance between us. And my RWD (it's all I have, equipped with snow tires and sandbags) losing traction and my tail veering off to one side but the worst problem is I can't tell quick enough in what direction it went for me to quickly counteract the skid. I try to watch videos but in application what I experience its not helpful anymore. The fear factor has gotten so bad. Is there anything you can think of that you can share with me to combat these scenarios??
Pumping the tires up makes your tire harder and doesnât conform to the road as well. Wow just wow with these tips
Matt Brown I think they're great tips.
Couldnât say thank you enough!
