    Great blog as for me. I’d like to read a bit more concerning this matter. The only thing it would also be great to see here is some pics of any gizmos.

    Winter Driving is fatal and not only that, if you are lucky to get your car out of the massive snow.
    I was visiting my friend in DC and next morning when I went to the street to get in to my car,I couldn’t find my car.Snow was surrounded over 4 foot tall and I was not sure if it is my car.

    This is a great topic. Thanks for the great advice. I just move to D.C I really understood what is that mean of winter driving.

    Before you drive in this winter!!!!could be fatal

    Driving safely in the snow and rain isn’t just about knowing when to apply the brake, though — yes, that’s crucial. But before you even get into the car, you can take some preventative measures. Kelly Brum, a spokesperson for GM and Chevy, offers this advice:

    –Monitor your tire pressure. As the temperature plunges, so does your tire pressure. With every 10 degrees Fahrenheit drop, expect to lose approximately 1 psi in tire pressure, so keep your tires inflated.

    –Check your windshield wipers and fluid. Better yet, make sure you get the kind that withstands cold temperatures and doesn’t freeze immediately. There are few things more frustrating than having icy sludge, or a thunderstormy mess, on your windshield and not being able to instantly clean it off.

    –Check your battery. I admit, I’d never be this careful, but then I’m the sort of person to wind up stuck on a snowy road somewhere. Chevy and GM recommend looking at the battery terminal ends to see if they’re clear and free of debris — and to have your battery load-tested to ensure it can hold a charge.

    –If you can, check everything. Alison Lakin, associate editor of San Francisco-based DriverSide.com, which bills itself as “the Web site for car owners,” says, besides the above, you should get a full tune-up, including “checking the antifreeze level and inspecting your tires, belts and spark plugs.”

    Once you start driving
    If you can’t avoid driving in the heavy rain or snow, Lakin offers these suggestions:

    –Keep your lights on. Do this even if visibility is fine. Someone else might need help seeing you.

    –Be careful crossing bridges — not to mention ramps and overpasses, if you’re driving in an area where temperatures are cold. They are all “likely to freeze first,” says Lakin, “so pay extra care when crossing them. When the temperatures rise above freezing, continue to drive with care. There can still be icy patches on the road.”

    –Go slow. “When driving on icy roads, decrease your speed and leave additional room between you and the car in front,” suggests Lakin. “This will give you enough time to brake in low-grip situations and maneuver appropriately in emergencies.” Driving slowly, of course, is also good advice when driving in the rain.

    –Avoid jerky moments. That upsets the vehicle’s direction of motion, says Lakin. Anyone who has driven on ice can appreciate that. Stop quickly, and “quickly” will become the operative word: Ice can make your car do things you never planned on it ever doing.
