For those that don't know this Tip. In snow always drive with your hand on the shifter if an Automatic Transmission.
Put the car into Neutral BEFORE hitting the brakes. Stops the free wheeling on the one wheel, So you don't go doing doughnuts off the side of the road.
Be polite and blow the horn to let the guy in front of you know your going to hit him. 90% of the time they step on the gas and get out of your way.
Tap the breaks don't lock them. Coming up to a bridge or overpass, Line up for straight across and put it in neutral, Coast across, you can't steer anyway.
I know all you guys know this, just reminding you of the fun those that have to drive in it will have.
Did it too many years running service calls. Had one call when I was living in Dover,NJ. Was called at night and asked to drive into NYC to the foot of Wall Street for a printer that no one else knew, as it was real old.
Woke up at 6:30 and looked outside as it was snowing. was up and out before 7. 40 miles later and 4 hours later, walked into the customers office and told them I was there to fix their printer.
"You were supposed to be here at 8 AM!"
I picked up my bags and said,"I didn't drive 40 miles for 4 hours to hear this!", and turned to walk out.
"4 hours! Don't you live in NC?"
"Do I look like a fool?. No I don't live in NYC!"
After that they were really nice so I fixed their printer.
The people in NYC pay more in State and City taxes than I did in NJ, even with property taxes back then.
