Winter Driving Techniques

[oldmotorist]

Now that I’m retired, winter driving means rolling over and going back to sleep.I did spend 37 years commuting in terrain that looked like the Alps, with interesting variations of weather, black ice, snow, slush,freezing rain, and most importantly, nitwit drivers who leared to drive at the clown car driving school. Everything listed here as to winter equuipment (tires) ad good judgement/driving techniques is all you need for winter driving. My caution is to look out for the folks in large SUVs with 4WD,traction control,ABS,etc. They seem to drive as if they are immortal and bad weather doesn’t apply to them. Once outside my place of employment in freezing rain, I watched a Mercedes-Benz with ABS slide down a hill with the brakes clicking away as it crashed into a bus. I guess the dealer didn’t tell the owner that ice is slippery. Oldmotorist
