Winter Driving: 10 Common Mistakes
Driving is never something to be taken for granted but in the icy, snowy conditions of winter it takes a special level of attention. People make the same mistakes over and over it seems (like the #1 mistake of driving too fast) so if you don’t want to be the next unfortunate soul to go skidding into the ditch (or worse) you might want to take a closer look at your winter driving habits and make sure you’re not guilty of one of the 10 deadly mistakes of winter driving:
#1 Driving too fast
#2 Following too closely
#3 Over-correcting on ice
#4 Driving tired
#5 Driving in poor visibility
#6 Driving on back roads
#7 Not winterizing your vehicle (snow tires, spare key, etc)
#8 Not having an emergency kit
#9 Leaving the vehicle when stranded or lost
#10 Failing to check weather conditions before leaving
