Learning to drive in the winter?

Until that bridge in Lake Charles ices up or that black ice hits out in west Texas or New Mexico.

 

What’s the difference in learning how to drive in heavy rain or thick fog than winter driving? All are hazardous and require concentration.
One other little hint, If the roads look wet and you see spray coming of your drives you are ok. When the roads look wet and you see NO spray coming off your tires, your screwed. Your on black ice.

 

you mean like this..

 

North Dakota is wonderful to drive in winter. Ice a non issue.
Getting out of the truck is a whole different matter. Don’t!

 

Snow = slow down stop way the heck back

Ice= go much slower stop way for there then you think you need.

Wet ice= maybe don’t drive at all

If you’re driving down the icy winter road and you look in your mirror and you see the side of your trailer? You’re up a creek. That trailer is going to be driving your truck in a few seconds.

other then that? Piece of cake!

 

This place is about the same but alot more fun

 

Actually... no... not even close. ND is bad during winter. Even the NDacotans will tell you that. Below zero every night and many days. But “This place” as you put it. Below zero usually a couple times a winter. People just smile. Say; wait a couple days. Within 5 days you’ll see 50 degrees again. I’ve seen 70 degrees in January there. How do I know? I live there. “This place” is very much like Denver. ND is a whole different world.
