You may see highway signs
on
mountains that warn
of
special problems. Examples are long grades,
passing or no-passing zones, a falling rocks area
or winding roads.
Be
alert
to
these and take
appropriate action.
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, a 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.
