Is driving in the winter worse than driving in the summer? In the winter, below freezing temperatures in the northern hemisphere lead to dangerous icy roads. Navigating your way around in a blizzard becomes a difficult and high-risk situation because of the frost on the windshield and the lack of visibility. The subzero temperatures commonly cause black ice, black ice is not actually black, it’s just visually transparent. This ice is highly dangerous because it will cause you to slide if driven on. After a snow storm people must wait for snowplows to plow and throw down salt before the roads become safe and accessible to drive on. During the winter the day is shorter, so there would be a lot more nighttime driving than in summer.…

Driving in snow need not be dangerous if you practice a few rules. First, one should avoid fast starts, which prevent the wheels from gaining traction and may result in the car's getting stuck. Second, drive more slowly than usual, and you should pay attention to the feel of the car: if the steering seemed unusually loose or the wheels did not seem to be grabbing the road, slow down. Third, avoid fast stops, which lead to skids. One should be alert for other cars and intersections that may necessitate that the brakes be applied suddenly. If you need to slow down, the car's momentum can be reduced by downshifting as well as by applying the brakes. When braking, press the pedal to the floor only if you have antilock brakes; otherwise, the pedal…

Driving safely is important because when you get behind the wheel of a vehicle you step into a potential weapon that you are able to control. If you do not or refuse to drive safely you are at risk of either injuring or killing people that are walking on the side of the road or other drivers. Driving safely is one of the biggest responsibilities of drivers because when you drive safely you are able to better prepare for unexpected events that may and will happen while you are driving on the road, possible events that can happen range from children running out into the street, pets such as dogs and cats running into the street, cars or motorcycles just throwing themselves into traffic to other vehicles acting dangerously or not driving safely such as crossing or invading your lane if you are driving on a highway or interstate. several ways of driving safely include not using your cell phone including texting, keep both hands on the wheel as that allows for faster and more stable control of the car or motorcycle, obeying the posted speed limit signs by either going the speed marked or going the allotted five over, do not look away from the road while in motion, keep talking to a minimum while your are driving as talking to your passengers can distract your mind and in doing so slows your reaction time to any possible sudden changes to the vehicle in front of you, if you have to make a phone call use either a blue tooth or you can plug your phone into the aux port on your car radio enabling it to be heard through the speakers. When driving you must always be aware of where you are in relation to other motorist that are on the road with you check all of your mirrors before you make a lane change if you do not you run the risk of having an accident because you can hit a car or motorcycle during your lane change. You must also remember to where your seatbelt while driving it is in place to prevent you from flying out of the car in the event of an auto accident if…
