Winter Driving
Here are some tips for winter driving:
0
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.
