So I was born and raised in Idaho and grew up driving in the snow and I never got into a wreck. But I do have to wonder why most of the people out on the roads don't know how to drive in the snow! So here are a few tips that I wanted to tell my fellow commuters tonight as I was crawling my way home.
Tip 1 - down shift people! Even if you have an automatic you can down shift and it's better then hitting your breaks on the slick roads!
Tip 2 - Just because you're in a big truck does NOT mean you can drive fast on ice. Point proven when you pass me and then I pass you a mile down the road and you are in the ditch!
Tip 3 - turn into your slide. Don't fight it.
Tip 4 - do Not tailgate me - I mean - do NOT tailgate anyone! Sheesh!
This is not rocket science and we have at least 4 more months of this so please be careful out on the roads!
