You may see highway signs on mountains that
warn of special problems. Examples are long
grades, passing or no-passing zones, a failing rocks
area or winding roads. Be alert to these and take
appropriate action.
Winter
Driving
Here are some tips for winter driving:
Have your vehicle in good shape for winter.
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.
