Driving in Wintry Conditions!
Have had a few incidents (not accidents ; ) in the car over the past few days so have tried out a few things that have worked.
1. Car stuck in snow (works on sand too) - use the clutch to rock the car up and down - this works very well.
2. have a shovel handy failing that a dustpan will work too.
3. rear wheels sliding out - first things first - foot off the accelerator steer into the skid so if you are skidding left - turn left - skidding right - turn right - pump the brakes or apply the brakes gently.
Take it easy out there!
