Winter
Driving
Here are some tips for winter driving:
Have your vehicle in good shape for winter.
You
may
want
to
put winter emergency supplies in
your vehicle.
Include
an
ice scraper,
a
small brush. or broom,
n
supply
of
windshield washer fluid, a rag, some winter outer
clothing,
a
small
shovel,
a
flashlight,
a
red cloth and
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.
