interize Driving Habits As WeU As Cars
Drivers should winterize their
iving habits as well as their
irs, the North Carolina In-
rance News Service reminds
otorists as winter approaches.
Lt. Walter K. Chapman of the
C. Highway Patrol told the
8ws Service, “Driving in
nter is considerably different
pm driving in summer,
sibility is often reduced and
ads are slippery. Good
fensive driving demands
pre care in starting, steering
d stopping.
‘You can’t avoid a hazard you
n’t see,” said Lt. Chapmann,
o before backing out of the
Iveway, make sure all win-
ws and mirrors are com ¬
pletely free of ice. Headlights
and taillights should be clean,
too, so the other driver can see
you at night.”
Because sudden movement is
dangerous under slippery
conditions, Lt. Chapman ad
vised making changes of
direction slowly. Anticipate
turns, slow down well ahead of
them and then make them
smoothly. If you hit an icy spot,
he said, don’t panic. Ease up on
the gas, hold the wheel steady
and roll through.
If the vehicle still goes into a
skid, hitting the brakes will only
make matters worse, warned
Lt. Chapman. He advised.

“Take your foot off the gas and
turn the steering wheel slowly
and gently in the direction of the
skid.”
Coarse rock salt, sand or a
couple pieces of carpeting
placed under the drive wheels
may also come in handy when
you’re stuck.
Lt. Chapman pointed out that
although mud and snow tires are
acceptable for driving in snow
and slush, tire chains are the
best safety device for ice
driving. He added, “While
studded tires are legal in North
Carolina, they don’t provide the
same traction value as chains.”
“In winter, vehicles can be
dangerous even when they are
not moving. People are killed
every winter by carbon
monoxide gas because they
leave their engines running to
keep their car heaters
operating,” said Lt. Chapman.
"If the engine is operating, a
faulty exhaust system can be
deadly whether the car is
moving or standing still.”
A safe car as well as safe
driving habits will get motorists
through the winter, Lt. Chap
man said. He suggested that an
automobile owner should have
battery, brakes, tires, wind
shield wipers, defroster and
exhaust system carefully
checked.
“Make sure your car’s in
winter-driving condition, then
drive slowly and defensively,”
he said, “that’s the best advice I
can give.”
