Winter driving

UGHHH the snow is flying ... I could use some safe travel vibes for the next few days since my new tires are set to go on thurs at noon ( providing I can get there another storm coming wed s eve)... I have to go off and work tomarrow ...

Go slowly and cautiously...safe driving vibes

Sending lots of safe vibes for you, and vibes that you are far away from idiot drivers.

Be safe Safe driving vibes

OKay, there is nothing that scares me more than winter driving..I HATE it.

I am totally sending you lots of safe driving vibes

I got my snows on a couple weeks ago, thank god!

Had a VERY close call... but tomarrow ( hopefully the 3-5 inches is one to three :crossesfingers: so I can get to the tire shop and get my new tires and feel a bit safer

I must be an oddball...I like winter driving. Well except when there's a bunch of other cars around. Otherwise I love it when I can't come to a complete stop.

Perhaps I need more adventure in my life...

Ugh - snow!! I hear you on the winter driving - for safe driving. (We're likely to get freezing rain this weekend - I am dreading it.)

I'm pretty scared of winter driving. I'm 27, but I got my drivers licence just last summer, not because I wanted to but because I need it in my work. So, I've never driven on snow and ice.

You are welcome to any driving adventure in my life! I will gladly give you any icky weather driving!

lots of safe vibes headed your way! Go slow Jen and just be cautious! I'm such a nervous wreck when it comes to winter driving- it scares the devil out of me! I understand you! I just try and breath calmly (slow deep breaths- otherwise i'll totally panic), and drive at a safe speed. If someone wants to get snippy- let them pass you.

Stay safe!!

I slow my speed according to road conditions. Some folks may have a problem with that so let them pass.

I find it interesting that most of the vehicles I've passed that are in the ditch are SUV's - yes - no kidding. I assume the drivers believe that since they have SUV's they are safer at higher speeds.

A couple years ago hubby and I were car-pooling and we had a bad storm. We were driving accordingly (as were the other cars in front and behind us) and this young fellow in his SUV roared past and gave us a dirty look. I smiled when 2 km. further on he was well and truly in the ditch. I waved as we passed. (Nasty I know, but the devil made me do it.) I don't drive like a little old lady by any means, but common sense and road conditions should certainly be taken into consideration during the winter.

I also drive a standard transmission which I find gives me more control on ice and snow.

Thats funny that you mention SUV's in the ditch as I went into the ditch twice driving an SUV!!
The 1st time I hit a patch of black ice and I was in at too much of an angle to drive out and the other time a truck in the lane next too me lost control and I ended up in the ditch to avoid being hit my him (yes he was within inches!!) I was driving too slow I guess and he was trying to pass me.

We have our 1st major snow coming-guess I better plan on getting those new tires on the truck and put some weight in the box soon.

Just saw this...sending safe road vibes and safe drivers around you vibes (boy have I seen some idjits when I did a lot of winter driving back East).

We're getting bad weather here now & all the idiots will be out driving now

Safe driving vibes for EVERYONE this winter

AHHH the new tires help ... may just be all seasons but they sure are bettter than the "performance ons I have had for a yr and half
