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
Ice
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.
