You Suck At Winter Driving

Ok, maybe you don't.  But it seem like a majority of people lose all previously established driving skills when it comes to winter driving.  I'm sure you don't need these, but someone you know might find this list of safe winter driving helpful.Seriously, winter driving presents some special challenges.  But, if everybody would just slow down and use common sense, the roads could be considerably safer for everybody.  According to weather.com

The best advice for driving in bad winter weather is not to drive at all, if you can avoid it.

But sometimes you need to hit the road, and when you do, follow some of these tips for safer driving.

1. Decrease your speed and leave yourself plenty of room to stop. You should allow at least three times more space than usual between you and the car in front of you.
2. Brake gently to avoid skidding. If your wheels start to lock up, ease off the brake.
3. Don't assume your vehicle can handle all conditions. Even four-wheel and front-wheel drive vehicles can encounter trouble on winter roads.

Also, make sure your tires are properly inflated and have enough tread, check your vehicles fluids, and always err on the side of caution when it comes to safety.
