Driving in the snow

I believe that in Belgrade they have to clean a lot more, here the rural roads are often uncleaned for a few days and when ice forms, it is a problem.

@LowRiderX No, that's the way to Goc.

@Nevena83 For now, only the main roads are being cleaned, these side streets are not being cleaned yet. I have no problem for now, just until I get out of the settlement. Is this a photo of where you actually go every day?

@Nevena83 You mean driving along a road covered with snow is dangerous,don't you??

@Shivram59 Yes, because a car can slip.

Oh, I wish we didn't have snow too, I'd be safer.

@Nevena83 You wouldn't envy me if you had to spend a summer here where I live. It's like living in Hell itself with the high heat and humidity we have. We get about 3 months of nice weather during the year, usually during the winter. I envy you for living in a place where it snows!

@moffittjc You're probably right, I don't like too much heat.

I envy you for the nice weather.

@Nevena83 I never liked driving in the snow when I lived in Minneapolis.

I'm always afraid to drive in the snow, because my car is very old and the tires are very bad.

@Hannihar No snow there?

@Nevena83 No. Generally you should not use brakes. But it depends on whether your car is front wheel drive or rear wheel drive. If you are driving a front wheel drive brakes help more because it shifts weight to the front where the driving and steering wheels are. Conversely, if you are driving a rear wheel drive, stepping on the gas is more effective because it transfers traction to the back, drive wheels. The whole thing is about putting traction to the wheels that propel the vehicle. Front wheel drive use the brakes more to shift weight to the front and create traction. Rear wheel use the gas to drive weight to the back and create traction.

@porwest I did not know that. I used to hear that you should use gas, but I've always thought about how gas, when you lose control of the car, we reflexively apply the brake. Two days ago, I saw a car trying to climb an icy road uphill and his car was coming back and then he turned the car around and went back up the hill in reverse.

They say that there is a way to drive on snow, that brakes must not be used when there is ice ...

The engine is not for snow, not even for cold weather, because then the asphalt is cold and the tires do not stick to the ground.

@Nevena83 Bike tyres soon warm up

@JimBo452020 Yes, but they slip when the ground is cold.

@Nevena83 Yes, though our downside are scorching hot weather and excessive rain. We have our pros and cons.

I believe that it is nice to live in a country where there is no snow.

@Nevena83 my Subaru had all wheel drive which helps,

@BelleStarr That sounds great. I wish I had a jeep.

But sometimes when the snow starts to melt, the car slips.

@Nevena83 Skidding is scary. At least he made it home safely. You must have been so relieved!

I need a jeep too. Yes, he arrived home safely, but he told me that his car skidded a bit.

@DianneN Yes, it was easier for me when I saw that everything was fine, but I am glad that he felt a slight slip, because that will lead him to be careful.

@Nevena83 I'm glad he was careful with it sliding on the road.

@just4him Thank you.

Yes, he arrived safely, but he said he felt the car slide on the road.

@Nevena83 I know what you mean since it seldom snows in south Louisiana.

Driving in the snow makes me nervous.

@Nevena83 you have to love that age lol.. we've all been there. But I'm glad to here that all is good.

Yes, he came soon and everything is fine. He is at the age when he thinks he knows everything.

@hillhjill He's driving me crazy.

@Nevena83 Be safe.

@CarolDM Thank you.

You're right, it's safer not to drive in the snow.

You come here, there are a lot of them here.

@New2020 I don't think the temperature will come out of the minus until Tuesday.

@Nevena83 here is also a lot of snow but i think it will be melted quickly.

Yes, he is still an inexperienced driver, but the problem is that he thinks he can, that he knows, that nothing bad can happen to him ...

@Nevena83 Kids always think they are invincable.

@Nevena83

Thank you. I don't like driving in the snow, because my car is not safe at all and I am always afraid that something will happen.

Yes, it's been a part of the journey in my country for the last few days. Really? No snow there?

@Nevena83 No snow, but cold winds and since some days, foggy.

@Nevena83 Oh sorry you are worried of it Nevena

Oh, I envy you, I only have fear when I drive on snow and ice.

@Nevena83 That would make me more nervous too.

I was never scared while driving, but I noticed that I am afraid when I start driving on snow or ice, because my tires are very bad and my car is old.

@Nevena83 Both are cars are manual so no.

Really? Do you drive an automatic?
