    one thing you dont want to do,go down to slow in whatever gear you choose,watch your tach and make sure you keep the rpms up so you dont stall the motor. that would be number 10 for you. b safe jon

    I have been driving normally through the snow. Most of the roads are pre-salted and have snow plowers taking care of them. I did slide around a little in a little unknown back road in a small town, but nothing to worry about. I think the 25 years of playing simulation racing video games paid off, since even in my car I like to do sliding turns on the ice and can still maintain control. You can doubt it all you want but I have been doing that for years.

    You can go slow a million times. You can only go too fast once, and your career, or your life, or someone elses life will be over. You may not believe it now, but with your driving habits it's only a matter of time. Real life isn't a video game, so save the reckless driving for the video games and turn your license back in before you kill someone.

    I guarantee it will only take you one time when you tighten up your but cheeks to the point of pulling a muscle that you will have respect for other than perfect road conditions.
    You will know it when it happens.
