Dave in Maine ...thanks for the Public Service reminder on a newcomer to winter.

As I taught my many many youth drivers ( passing on wisdom from 1966)

" double your travel time, double your following distance" in bad weather

Very Good Points - No need to be in a hurry on ice.
Just leave a little earlier, keep your wits about you,
remember that the 2 second rule should probably be
more like 4 or 5 seconds and don’t allow less patient
drivers to affect your good sense. Bruce agrees!

And also of great import - Turn Signals Are NOT Optional.
Of course, that should be true everywhere...
But in bad weather, every little bit helps!
