#6: Re: Tips For Winter Driving Author: Seabook, Posted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 6:24 pm ---- plenty of de-icer and windscreen washer
make sure the engine coolant has anti-freezer, not just plain water
always got thick jackets in the boot
get AA/ RAC membership
and practise how to slide correctly when snowing~!

never let your petrol tank run low just incase
plenty of deicer
#8: Re: Tips For Winter Driving Author: xbonez182, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 7:39 pm ---- engine braking incase of snow....and i know people were joking above when they said about handbraking etc but i found an empty car park and put my old car into slides to learn to correct....but im not condoning that...if you do it you need LOADS of space and someone to fix your car if you get it wrong lol
#9: Re: Tips For Winter Driving Author: Drake, Location: MidlandsPosted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 8:07 pm ---- Just take it easy and give yourself extra time to get wherever you need to go.
Last winter (it was mental if everyone can remember) I had a survival pack in the boot, which included: water, bit of food/chocolate, picnic rug thing (for warmth, not to sit down and munch, spare clothes... Oh and a spade.

just if your not sure...dont take it out
#11: Re: Tips For Winter Driving Author: Iain, Location: Aberdeen, ScotlandPosted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 8:29 pm ---- You will slide at some point if it snows. Find an empty carpark/random bit of land, and practice your car control on snow. Not strictly legal I'm sure, but it really does help.
Winter tyres make a MASSIVE difference. If you can afford it, get a set. I won't be, and I imagine most people won't be, but they do make a huge difference if you're a bit worried.
Easy on the throttle as well, so many people get stuck by just spinning their wheels and going nowhere.
#12: Re: Tips For Winter Driving Author: Drake, Location: MidlandsPosted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 8:32 pm ---- I was well tempted by some tyre chains last year haha! Thankfully my spec 2's did very well in the snow, ice, and s**te
#13: Re: Tips For Winter Driving Author: Seabook, Posted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 8:45 pm ---- are you joking? lol
#14: Re: Tips For Winter Driving Author: Drake, Location: MidlandsPosted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 8:47 pm ---- About the chains or the spec 2s?
