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
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.
