Driving on Snow or Ice
Most of the time, those places where your tires meet the
road probably have
good traction.
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. 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.
