Had to take Mrs. DeltAlum to the airport early this morning. It was sleeting at the time. Passed three roll-overs, one of which was a fatal which closed the freeway.
I've driven in cold country all my life. Seems to me there are a couple of important things to remember.
First, everyone who drives a big 4WD whatever needs to realize that they may get going faster, but everyone has 4WS (that's four wheel stop). SUV's and pickups going too fast aren't safe.
Second, moderation and consistancy are the most important thing in snow and ice conditions. If you don't try to start or stop too fast, and you don't get your tires spinning or skidding, you're probably gonna be OK.
