Hey yall,
I have a odd question; how do yall drive within the snow ? I'm embarrassed to ask this, but this is my first winter living surrounded by the North and to be honest, I've never really even seen snow until that time, let alone have to drive in it. I am SO stressed out over this! If I drive slow, adjectives I get is a bunch of inpatient yankees tailing me, flashing their lights and honking their horns and afterwards I get even more stressed but I don't dare to speed up as I'm afraid I'll move about off the road. I'd bring my good ole Alabama weather and hurricanes any daytime over snow!
Any suggestions or simple words of encouragement ? LOL I'm fixin to go crazy one of in this day and age if things don't change...HA!
Thanks for any thoughts!
Answers: Do you suggest on the interstate, or in town?
It's no big concordat in town, as they usually own things pretty well plowed and or sand. The best tip is to drive in 3rd or Drive and not Overdrive, this give you more control. Act like it's really raining and take equal precautions you would normally use...slow down farther ahead for stops, pocket turns much slower. If you do feel yourself sliding, DON'T freak out and NEVER shove the steering wheel or try to correct. Just hold still, breathe, and your sports car will correct itself. I promise!
On the interstate, the same tips apply, but are more defining. If the roads are pretty bad, do not use cruise control. If you be aware of yourself sliding, gently GENTLY press the brake a touch, but do not steer differently or anything else...again, your car will potential correct itself. Drive in the lane everyone else is driving within, follow someone if needed, that helps esp if you enjoy a smaller car. Make sure you walk out well ahead of time...I've have to go give or take a few 45 on a 75 before basically because of the snow. Also, it's easier to drive more safely if you know you own plenty of time.
And always BUCKLE UP!
I'd close to to add a comment...snow chains and or studded tires ARE NOT ALWAYS LEGAL or allowed on the roads. Make sure you are aware of this earlier you use something like that. However, have very pious, new all-season tires on at lowest possible your drive wheels will be paid a difference.
