Winter
Driving
Here are some tips for winter driving:
Have your vehicle
in
good shape for winter. Be sure your engine
coolant mix is correct.
You may want to put winter emergency supplies
in
your vehicle.
Include
an
ice scraper, a small brush or broom,
a
supply of windshield
washer fluid,
a
rag, some winter outer clothing,
a
small shovel, a flashlight,
a red cloth, and a couple
of
reflective warning triangles. And,
if
you will be
driving under severe conditions, include a small bag of sand,
a
piece
of
old
carpet
or
a couple
of
burlap bags
to
help provide traction. Be sure
you
properly secure these items
in
your vehicle.
Driving
on
Snow
or
/ce
Most of the time, those places where your tires meet the road probably have
good traction.
However, if there
is
snow
or ice between your tires and the road, you can
have a very slippery situation. You’ll have a
lot
less
traction or
“grip”
and
will need to be very careful.
