Some winter driving advice

Right. And if you bought the cheapest off-brand “made in Madagascar” drive tires you could find, there’s a real good chance you’ll be the first one to break traction once the black ice sets up, all other things being equal.

 

I drive on ice 5 months a year, loaded then empty.

Slow down with no abrupt inputs whatsoever.

Cold ice is stickier than warm.
Your traction is minimal but gravity works the same.

If your speed on slippery roads causes your arse to pucker you are rolling too fast imho.

 

Good info from veteran drivers. But even the most experienced hands can drive into a situation. Like Den said, slowing down is priority one. Like that old trucker said. Keep the shiny side up.

 

Hammer , how the heck are you. Great to see ya bud.

 

The real secret to winter driving is "drive fast so your tires stay warm."

 

well its still great to see ya, and say hi to the sassy one, everyone missed you guys a flos diner, our buddy EV has been running it, just about everyone is gone, but a few.

 

What if you lose the road?
