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.
