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.
