[QUOTE="anonymous6, post: 1231224"] "Pretender and Down the Stretch " have some excellent ideas on the first page. I tell new drivers that if they are holding the steering wheel too tight then they are going too fast for conditions. don't worry about how fast everyone else is going. triple your following distance. you really have to apply the 5 seeing habits all the time in bad weather. have the shop check your brake adjustment before you leave and if at all possible hit brakes on flat spot to see how trailer or set reacts ( in a safe clear spot ) I carry a blanket, extra flashlight, gloves, chain tool, extra chains, extra everything . you never know when you or a fellow driver needs help. extra bunjis, extra food and water, deicer and hammer to break out locked up brakes, a good metal tire bumper which can be used for many things. common sense, patience ( huge ) expect everyone else to screw up in front of you so keep a lot of distance and finally don't look at your watch. the loads get there when they get there. not mentioned. DONT use cruise control on ice and snow nor engine brake. [/QUOTE]
