I figure I might as well join the MSM with my headlines. Seems that all the warm weather that they have had in the center of the universe, has caused the folks there to forget how to drive in winter. 700 accidents in one day? Okay people, you are still living in Canada and with or without global warming, you will eventually have to drive in the slippery stuff. You really need to remember that when it does snow, or worse yet, the dreaded freezing rain, that the roads are slippery. You have to slow down, leave a little more room between vehicles for that safety margin. Those who like to cut people off and take away that safety margin should be shot on site, they are a menace! Hard breaking should be avoided at all costs. My last tip is one that most people, especially those who drive vehicles with automatic transmissions. When the roads are slippery, pressing down further on your accelerator will not help your car start moving at that intersection. It will however polish up that ice even more so making it even more slick for the next person. Slow and steady will win the race on ice and snow.

You forgot the biggie ... the one that puts the MOST cars in the ditch. TURN OFF THE CRUISE ON ICE! ... other then that .. floor it ... LOL
*sigh* I spend a lot of my time these days yelling at beings behind the wheels of cars spinning themselves sideways at intersections: "Second gear, idiot! Second gear!" Works even with an automatic.
Both excellent points... maybe we should all get together and write a Driving in Winter for Dummies book. From what I see on a daily basis, I think it would be a best seller.....
