Today's Car Care Tip: Tips For Driving On Slick Roads
In Colorado, drivers always have to be ready for snow, even when it seems impossible!To be ready for snowy weather, here are some obvious things that you can do:
- Tires: Good all-season tires will work, but for deep wintery conditions, studded snow tires on all 4 wheels are the best option
- Slow down in icy conditions
- BE AWARE...4X4's and SUV's do not stop faster than regular cars
For those looking for more experience, I recommend Master Drive, a hands-on driving school that teaches emergency handling, mountain driving, ice and snow clinics, and how to overcome a fear of driving.
