Winter
Driving
Here are some tips for winter driving:
Have your Geo 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.
