0
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.
