Winter Driving
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.
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.
