One of the first things that you need to do is make sure that you are going slow enough – that way you will be able to stop better and ensure that you do not crash into the car in front of you.  If you are new to driving in the snow, one thing you want to keep in mind is make sure that you pump your brakes.

Pumping your brakes will not only allow you to avoid skidding but it will also ensure that you stop … really stop instead of sliding all over.

While I know that the left lane is the passing lane … I like driving in that lane because I do not get stuck behind any of the people that are going super slow!  However, Kansas recently passed a law that forbids anyone from driving in the left-hand lane and you strictly drive in it in order to pass and then merge over to the right.

To me?  That is stupid and I will probably still drive in the left lane even if I am in Kansas, however … if you want to obey the law, stay out of the left lane!
