A couple of tips for driving in the snow

I’ve been learning more and more how to drive in the snow. Here are a couple of techniques or strategies that I’ve developed for driving in the snow:

• If what you are doing isn’t working, don’t do it harder.  Stop and try again.  This is especially true for breaking and accelerating.  If you push down on the accelerator and you aren’t moving like you should, don’t press down harder.  Lift your foot up and try again.  If you push on your break and you don’t stop, lift your foot up and try it again.
• Only do one thing at a time.  Don’t try to change your speed while turning.  Don’t speed up or slow down while turning.  If you know your turn is coming up, slow way down before you even start your turn.  Complete your entire turn before speeding up again.
• Use your headlights.  While you may be able to see just fine, other drivers might not have entirely cleaned the snow off their windows, and your lights will help them know that you are there

And the most important thing about driving in the snow, is knowing when not to drive in the snow.
