One of the most stressful transistions for those who move to MN from out of state is adjusting to winter driving. And there is good reason for that. When the typical rumble of friction between your car’s tires and the pavement goes smooth, you know your sliding. If you panic and yank your steering wheel in an effort to regain control of the 4000 pound beast, you’re likely to spin. A smooth turn of the wheels in the direction of the slide, and then a sensing of rubber feeling the road once again, is the signal that the tires will grip and drive you out and on your way.
It’s not an easy move. If you’re new to the white outs, it’s best to stay home.
