Driving in the snow


Driving on icy slippery roads is scary for all drivers. Here are a few tips on how to avoid crashing during slippery conditions.


First off make sure that your car is ready for winter, make sure you have snow tiers on your car and your 4 wheel drive works. Second watch the road closely for any really slippery spots. Third slow down, the faster you’re going the more your putting yourself at risk. Fourth, leave more room between you and the car in front of you; I'd stay a car length for every 10 mph then after 40 mph half a car length. Fifth, sliding out of control is hard to get out off, what you want to do is not brake that makes things worse; you want to turn into the slid and accelerate. Yes speed up and you'll come out of the slid. It’s called a controlled slide, or drifting in the race world.




Any questions just ask.
