Driving in snow is typically a fun challenge for those that prefer to live life on the wild side. However, it’s unsafe and should always be taken seriously.
Four wheel drive was invented for the northern Illinois winter snowfall. For example, what could possibly be more fun on a Saturday night than drifting through a corn field with your friends in a huge truck?
Getting stuck in a ditch can happen to anyone though. Snow has a mind of its own. For those of us that aren’t fortunate enough to have a beautiful white truck with 4WD, driving on back country roads could be a little more risky.
Hitting a patch of black ice is really scary, no matter how much experience the driver has. This morning, I hit a guard rail on my way to school. Somehow, my car has no scratches on it and I managed to get to school early.
Either way, daring people need to see that snow is a dangerous thing, whether or not the driver is careful. An accident on a poorly plowed road can occur at any time.
