What You NEED to Drive In The Snow // TIPS & TRICKS

The first and most important is to be proactive. 70% of the cars on the road aren't prepared for winter.  If you have 4-wheel drive and heated seated, that's not enough.  That means making sure your car is mechanically sound before the temperature dips and the streets get icy. Many vehicles are designed for all season driving but it is your job to get that auto ready for the extreme weather that you will experience. 

The #snow and ice of winter are here.  Being prepared can keep you safe and save you from costly auto-body and towing fees.  Even those of us who are winter driving "experts" need a brush-up on the physics of driving in the snow: the science of what happens when we hit the brakes and how to keep tires gripping the road. Few of us are educated and practiced in how to drive in heavy rain, snow or on slippery road surfaces.
