I completely agree.

There was a lady who wrote an artical in our local newspaper up here about DRIVING IN THE SNOW.

Well, she stated NEVER EVER (capatilized too in here artical) downshift, because of ONE time when she did, her tires broke loose in a 2wd Mercedes or somthing. She states to ALWAYS use your brakes.

That artical was intended for first-time snow drivers. As well as *Flat-landers* as we locals like to call them...<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

Now, I just do whatever I need to do to slow down in the snow/ice, and frankly it is rarely ever useing my brakes.

That artical kinda 'irked me. There are already enough stupid drivers out there driving in the snow with their new SUVs, thinking that they can haul-ass, and plow through anything. The last thing we need to be giving them is bad advice.

Oh well, what can you do? I'll just be truckin' along with my *new* tires, waving as I drive by peeps stuck in ditches, (and there are PLANTY up here <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> )

Heck, maybe I could make a few bucks towin' people out of ditches, or get my *chain-puter-oner-license*

Nah

I think I'll take Margie's route! LOL
