Winter
Driving
Here are some tips for winter driving:
Have your Pontiac 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.
