What is your best advice for keeping safe whilst driving in the winter?

make sure you have a rear wheel drive car with an lsd, alot of people prefer front in the winter but if it understeers there is nothing you can do unless you use the handbrake which can unstabilise the car sending you into a four wheel drift. with rear wheel drive the steering wheels only need to steer and not do both. dont use too much throttle and change gear early if in the event of understeer increase the throttle slightly until the rear wheels just start to spin this will balance out the car and gain grip on the front if you have an lsd. dont use the brakes unless you have too try to use the gears to slow you down. take the ABS fuse out as it is impossible t stop with it on ice, they have it set so it doesn work under 10mph anyway but even at 30 you will slow down much faster if you lock the wheels up and snow builds up under them acting as a chock it just wont happen with ABSWhat is your best advice for keeping safe whilst driving in the winter?
1. Check the pressure and tred of tyres.


2. Safety check of your car, I am not good at this so I get is services twice a year - once as winter starts.


3. Have a plan for if you do break down. (Charged mobile, rescue cover, blanket in the car to keep warm etc epecially if going out without a coat).


4. Do not drive out in dangerous conditions.


5. If conditions are bad and you are driving keep to the main roads if it is icy snowing.


6. If weather making driving more dangerous to drive slower than normal, safer, and minimum distance between cars 4 second instead of 2.


7. If its slightly dark/over cast or heavy rain put on your lights.


8. Demist your window if driving so you can see.


9. Clear frost etc from windows in the morning before driving so you can see out all windows and mirrors, otherwise you get down the road and can't see to turn!


10. Keep ice scraper etc in car to clear windows.What is your best advice for keeping safe whilst driving in the winter?
good tyres, correct inflation of tyres, good wyper blades and plenty of screen wash,and keep the SPEED DOWN and think well in advance, and up here in Scotland a BLOODY good car interior heater.
Use the (permanent) 4wd hi of my Land Rover, good wipers, good tyres, low speeds, good heater, in general driving carefuly.
Drive slower, keep more distance between you and the car in front of you, get winter tires if you can
summer is only just here - ask later in the year you will have forgotten by then!
