Snow Chains

RE: Snow Chains
When driving on ice, you are better driving 1 gear higher than you would normally use. This is to stop wheel spin and it makes breaking more effective.

When you want to slow down, DON'T slam on the break peddle. You will skid. If you're using 1 gear higher than you need to use, you simply hold back on the revs, or maybe go down a gear and have zero revs. Using that technique your gears and the turning of your tyres causes the car to slow down. It also maintains control of the car through the mechanics itself. If you were to use the break peddle, you can very easily lock up the wheels and slide.

That's my way to driving in the snow. Saves money on snow chains.
