Driving Rules & Safety : How to Drive in Snow

When driving in snow, it's important to make sure that the tires have good tread, to turn the wheel the same direction that the back end is sliding, and to avoid slamming on the brakes. Discover the importance of driving slowly in the snow with help from the manager of a driving school in this free video on driving safety.

I've lived in Michigan all my life and the most important things to remember is what was mentioned in the video about skid control, and not making sudden moves. A confident, non-jittery attitude is also helpful. It isn't necessary to crawl along though. I routinely drive the 70mph speed limit on the highway during snowstorms. I wouldn't recommend it though unless you are experienced.

Sorry -- this is inane. Watch the British and Scandanavian driver videos instead.
