Winter Driving Here are sometips for winter driving: 0 Have your vehiclein good shape for winter. Be sure your engine coolant mix is correct. You may want to put winter emergency supplies in your vehicle. Include an ice scraper, a small brush or broom, a supply of windshield washer fluid, a rag, some winter outer clothing, asmall shovel, a flashlight, a red cloth, and a coupleof reflective warning triangles. And, if you will be driving under severe conditions, include small bag of sand, a piece of old a of carpet or a couple burlap bags to help provide traction. Be sure you properly secure these itemsin your vehicle. Driving on Snow or Ice Most of the time, those places where your tires meet the road probably have good traction. However, if there is snow or icebetween your tires and the road, you can have a very slippery situation. You'll have a lot less traction or "grip" and will need to be very careful. 4-33
