Pros And Cons Of Driving In The Winter

Decent Essays
Do you like driving in the sun, or the snow? Do you prefer a window full of ice or no windows at all? What type of scenery do you like? Are you for the cool or the heat? Driving in any weather or any season can be dangerous, but today we will be discussing the good things and the bad of driving in the winter and the summer.
Driving in the winter can be extremely hazardous. If it snows in your winter, you may have to get a vehicle inspection. If your vehicle is not in the condition to be on a road with more than an inch of snow, you may have to stay home all winter or upgrade your tires.

    That makes it harder for the car to turn better, or have better control after drifting, etc. If not used correctly, the Ford Mustang, for example, has been known to crash into many crowds of people because the driver pushes it’s limit and makes the car lose traction and control, and they end up hitting many people in big crowds. Imports also have better handling even in during different climates and weather. “When flakes start flying, cars like the Dodge Challenger and the Ford Mustang usually are left to while away their winters in the garage, leaving the slippery commutes and errands to others.” (Cole) When winter comes, usually muscle cars stay in the garage and wait until winter is over.…

    In the winter when you have slippery roads or poor vision you should always do a little below the speed limit or where you feel comfortable driving at. Now on the other hand, driving in the summer is different because its normally hot and the pavement is dry and there is also not as much rain in the summer either. That means you won't have poor vision and you will have more traction on the road because the pavement is dry. Because its less wet and drier you won't have to worry about frost or condensation on your windows rather than if it was winter. Now if you're a beginner driver and it's your first time driving in the winter and if at any point you feel uncomfortable or scared, it’s always best to pull off the side of the road, relax and take some deep breaths and once you feel comfortable enough to drive again and you should go the speed that you feel most comfortable driving…
