Not me! But I’ve done it enough.

Who likes to drive on the ice?

In this space, I mostly write about my 66 Toyota Land Cruiser and all the work I’ve done to it.

Honestly, I am waiting to get it painted by a professional and haven’t worked on it in a couple of weeks.

Since it’s December and we’ve already seen a picture of what this winter is going to look like, I thought I’d take a moment to give some helpful tips when it comes to wintery travel.

I live in the Lubbock area and we tend to see a little more snow and ice than the Permain Basin does. I’ve seen plenty of careless drivers and happen to have been one of them myself.

Take the cautious approach when driving. When you use caution, you tend to make fewer mistakes and have more time to react in icy conditions. It also gives you more time to make lane adjustments and stop sooner. It’s easier to navigate a road when you use caution.

Just because you have 4 wheel drive doesn’t give you the right to drive like a maniac. 4 Wheel Drive is great

at obtaining traction but just as bad as a 2 wheel drive when it comes to stopping. If you are driving twice as fast as some-one else, it’s going to take you twice as long to stop.

Give yourself enough time. If the roads are icy and the snow is falling, chances are that it’s going to take you longer to get from one place to another. Take your time and let others know that you are going to be a little late. It’s best to take it easy and not rush when driving on the ice.

Don’t Drive At All. Probably, the best piece of advice I could give. If you don’t have to be somewhere then don’t get out and drive. You could be putting yourself and others at risk.

Stay safe this holiday season and do your part to keep others safe on the road as well.
