  • Stay home if at all possible,stay an extra day if travelling.Remember getting there late is better than not getting there at all.
  • It is all about your tires. good snow tires on all wheels are the best choice, never mix all seasons and snow tires on the same vehicle.
  • don’t accelerate and decelerate too quickly.
  • if your vehicle is not equipped with ABS, try to pump the brake peddles when slowing down.
  • If possible don’t come to a full stop when travelling uphill.
  • AWD may be great for moving forward and climbing hills in poor conditions but when it comes to stopping it isn’t and better than your average family sedan.
  • If you live in a regions with harsh driving conditions, make sure you take appropriate driving lessons.If you get into a spin, short of being an expert nothing can help you.

I have been in the automotive industry since 1988 and worked with various dealerships in lower mainland on all kinds of make and models. I got the opportunity to teach automotive technology in 2014 and really enjoyed it . Since then I have enrolled in PIDP courses to become a more experienced and knowledgeable instructor. I created this blog as per PIDP 3240.
