Winter Driving

Here are some tips for winter driving:

You may want to put winter emergency supplies in
your vehicle.
4-40
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 will have a lot less traction or "grip"and will need
to be very careful.
