First up, a reminder that what goes up an icy hill can just as quickly come back down. 




Whiteout Leads To Wipeout



There's no shame in pulling over to the side of the highway when visibility is poor. Otherwise you might end up like this Russian driver who was, thankfully, unhurt while driving through blizzard conditions and straight into the back of another car. 




Slip N' Slide For Cars



Ice and hill meet again for this video from Pittsburgh that seems to go on and on. How many cars will attempt -- and fail -- to navigate this slick street? The answer is: many. Many will try. All will fail. 




2012/2013 Winter Wipeout Compilation



The weather outside may be warm -- even too warm depending where you are -- but that doesn't mean winter isn't around the corner. This quick compilation of winter weather fails is a reminder to stay safe out there. 




Where Cars Bounce Like Pinballs



This video is the definition of a slow-motion car crash you just can't seem to look away from. Covering three different streets, dozens of cars, and several onlookers -- some trying to help, other desperately trying to get out of the way -- watch what happens when snow turns cars into pinballs.




Weather Channel's "How NOT To Drive On Ice"



Now would be a good time the mention that there are many Do's and Don't's when it comes to winter driving. Avoid ending up like the drivers in this video with just a few simple tips.


Roll Up Your Windows When The Tide Rolls In



Let's move away from the winter months. It is still September, after all. There's still plenty of time to hit the beach. Just one thing: never park your car at low tide.




Truck Chops Down Telephone Pole



Wet roads can be just as bad as icy streets. When conditions are bad, don't drive too fast and don't slam on your brakes. Or else you might be the one pulling a 360 spin right into a telephone pole. 




Truck Takes Turn Too Tight



Curves in the road are especially treacherous in wet weather conditions. A truck in South Korea learned this lesson the hard way. 




Hydroplaning Horror



Hydroplaning, or aquaplaning, is one of the most dangerous situations to be in on a wet road. While hydroplaning, a car riding on a layer of water and nearly all control is lost. This can create havoc on highways, as this video makes terrifyingly clear. 

Stay safe out there.
