    Looks like dude just lost control and breaks all the time.

    If you lock your wheels you can’t steer, just go man! You can break at the bottom.

    Edit: don’t go if there is any danger, take a joke people lol. Still driver seems to be an idiot IMO risking the people in the bus.

      Nah there were cars ahead, if he gained too much momentum he was screwed, besides he wasn’t just slamming on the breaks, there was roll going on there, just wasn’t helping much. Once he got enough control again he even bothered to turn on his flashers.

      It really isn’t. Stop locking up the brakes.

      But I’m prepared to be downvoted by ‘experts’ who have almost never actually driven in the snow.

      Longer wheelbase vehicles don’t rotate quite as quickly so you have a lot more time to correct before things go haywire. They finally started to get the hang of the brakes and manually pulsing them near the end. At the beginning every time he locked up the brakes it just rotated more.

      ABS doesn’t really help here because it works by a difference in speed between the wheels. If they’re all locked up then there is no difference.

          On large super slick surfaces ABS doesn’t really work. It might pulse for a second or so but eventually all the wheels stop moving and the system thinks you stopped even though you’re very much still sliding.

          ABS is usually fairly loud and you can feel it pulse the pedal. If you’re on ice and that stops happening, then chances are you locked up all the tires and you should let up and reapply. Repeat as necessary until you actually stop.

          ABS usually works okay in winter because your car isn’t entirely on a sheet of ice and there is some variance in the road surface beneath all the tires with differing friction levels.

          Yep if all the wheels are locked up it just thinks you are stationary, ABS only kicks in if there is a difference like it front wheels lock but back wheels are rolling. Smarter systems (like on bikes) would also monitor motion.

        Correct, this would be a job for ESP which has more input data, like steering angle, and can brake the wheels individually. This bus does not have it.

    Only one of us can ride forever

    So you and I can’t ride together

    Can’t live or can’t die together

    All we can do is collide together

    So I skillfully apply the pressure

      No space for drivers, no space for walkers

      No space regardless

      You’re on my path? Then get off it!

    You can see it starting to go bad and then the back tire catches some traction on the slop on the shoulder and he recovers. Sometimes the shoulder saves you.
