Icy roads

As I sit here typing these words I often wonder how educated the average person is on how their car or truck functions on icy roads. its generally icy right around -2 to -5. The passage of your car or truck over the hyway creates fiction and heat. Spinning your tires at and intersection trying to get the vehicle moving actually perpetuates the problem. The tires heat up melting any snow that may be on them or on the road. This creates a thin layer of water on top of the road. As if its below zero outside then it freezes right away. Following a big truck or semi truck isn't always a good option either. They're generally carrying a lot of weight and create a ton of heat on the road so there could even be more ice under your wheels by the time your vehicle passes over then same place the big truck did.

Winter tires should be an absolute must on the roads in Alberta when the weather turns cold. I see these SUV's and passenger cars out there with 20 inch wheels or all season radials and the drivers drive them the same way they would in the summer. Really? Living in the day and age we do I've found less and less people with any type of automotive knowledge or experience. This is where professionals such as mechanics should bestow a basic knowledge on their customers,in a perfect world anyways. I've personally talked to a number of mechanics and professional tire guys and the like. And truth be told I wish they would pat me on the back to help me swollow the BS they're trying to feed me. An example was a female friend of mine that was told that her brake fluid was contaminated and that caused her ABS senors to have to be replaced. At NO time does ANY brake fluid come in contact with ANY sensor on ANY vehicle built in the world. I drigress however from the main topic. which is this,a basic understanding of how a vehicle functions in any type of weather and a basical knowledge of vehicle maintenance should be a pre-requeset to getting your drivers license. This would save countless dollars and a lot of time for drivers.
