The above suggestions will help you greatly with driving in adverse conditions. Always remind yourself that the object you are operating cost you a lot of money and many working hours to obtain. Think of driving your car and a scale. The time you save driving too quickly may be a lot less than the time required to replace your car should you crash it. Take extra time and focus on what you are doing.
One recommendation I make to everyone reading this who will be regularily driving in snowy conditions is to pack a small duffle bag with a few objects:
- flashlight
- blanket
- hand warmers
- chocolate bars
- extra gloves and hat
- small folding shovel (if you have one)
- extra antifreeze for your window
*wrap all these objects in a garbage bag and store in the trunk. I wouldn't want to put on wet gloves in the cold!
I have always* had these in my car. Never used it for myself but to assist others who weren't driving accordingly. Heck, sometimes it pays to assist those in need, you'll make more friends and maybe get a turkey like I did!
