Here is a tip for driving in ice and snow. Well it is more of a tip for getting out when you are stuck. Instead of keeping a bag of sand in your trunk try keeping and using a bag of sawdust. Of all the materials that I have used to get a car off slippery ice, sawdust is by far the best. First off, sand freezes and is extra weight that sometimes you don’t want. Or need. And it is pretty easy to get. To Home Depot and pretty much any lumber yard sawdust is just garbage. And as they say, ‘One man’s garbage…’
Keep a small bag of sawdust in your trunk.
