Winter driving…..myths or truths?

For many years I’ve heard of drivers giving poor advice to other drivers about how to drive in snow and on ice. I’m not sure where they got their information from, but does it make any sense to take advice because the “guys at work” told you? I grew up with that as a kid….

We all know that emergencies do happen from time to time, but are you ready to handle them when they do happen?
