Winter Driving

Here are some tips for winter driving:

• Have your vehicle in good shape for winter.

• You might 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.

Also see Tires on page 5-48.

Driving on Snow or Ice

Most of the time, those places where the tires meet the

road probably have good traction.

However, if there is snow or ice between the tires and

the road, you can have a very slippery situation.

You have a lot less traction, or grip, and need to be

very careful.

What is the worst time for this? Wet ice. Very cold snow

or ice can be slick and hard to drive on. But wet ice

can be even more trouble because it can offer the least

traction of all. You can get wet ice when it is about

freezing, 32°F (0°C), and freezing rain begins to fall. Try

to avoid driving on wet ice until salt and sand crews

can get there.

Whatever the condition — smooth ice, packed, blowing,

or loose snow — drive with caution.
