Are you afraid of driving in the snow?

Question

Are you afraid of driving in the snow?

Answer 1

yes I am .....because of past experiences when I was younger. i have been in a ditch and i have hit a tree....because when I was young I would give the car too much gas and stir away from the skid. Now I know better and I am older and wiser. I take it slow now. But, I am still somewhat scared.

Answer 2

No, not at all.  I live in Michigan and where I am was just hit by a foot of snow. It doesn't scare me unless it's very icy out. If you keep patience and are a careful driver who can tolerate taking your time slowly driving, you'll be alright.

I do worry about some of the other drivers who think they can drive fast on slippery roads  but usually, when another driver sees someone else moving slow, they follow lead.

Answer 3

No,Just follow the rules & drive safely.Respect other driverss as well.

Answer 4

not afraid of driving in the snow, just afraid of the idiots who don't drive with caution that could end up killing me

Answer 5

Nope. I'm afraid of people who are idiots and people who think 4wd makes them superhuman.

Answer 6

yes it would be dangerous and hey you are basically going out to meet your death so why not be cautious

Answer 7

A little yes

I still stick by my idea that you should be able to turn ABS off in snow as is completely useless.

Answer 8

jessi said it perfectly.

Answer 9

The proper set of snow tires will take a lot of the worry out of winter driving.  I commute 60 miles one way through the back roads of Maine 6 days a week, knowing that I have the best traction available makes it a breeze.

Answer 10

Nope, just remember to drive slower and don't slam on your brakes.

Answer 11

No, I drive a rear wheel drive car in the snow and don't have problems.  Drive slow and leave extra distance between you and the driver in front of you.  I am a Lt. in a NY fire dept.  The accidents i see in the winter months are usually 4wd or awd vehicles that think because the have awd they can do anything.  Avoid people speeding in these conditions.
