Most of the accidents in the video are more due to drivers' carelessness and less to the weather. Of course speed also played a big role in the cause of accident.
In cold sub-zero weather driving, WINTER TIRES should be used not necessarily snow tires because in most metropolitan areas, snow slushes usually get cleared away very quickly but cold temperature do require the use of WINTER TIRES because summer and all-seasoned tire compound will harden and lose their grip when temperature drops below 3 degree Celcius. Winter tire compound is much softer and can significantly shorten stopping distance hence reduce the chances of accident.
Four wheel drive vs rear wheel drive vs front wheel dirve -
Four wheel drive doesn't solve all winter driving problems, it does help out at start but it also give drivers a false sense of security and cause them to over drive their ability.
Once the car is moving, front wheel drive car will perform the best because it has lesser tendency of spinning out than four wheel and rear wheel drive cars because there is much less rear-push spin out. Of course front wheel drive car can also spin out when it hit a big patch of snow slushes at high speed.
In conclusion, drive with common sense in all inclement weather. |
