Driving in icy conditions for the first time?
Driving in icy conditions can be very dangerous especially for new drivers. Our own Lance Collins was interviewed by WSPA’s Collin Riviello on how to navigate this dangerous situation. Follow this link for the story and video interview. Remember the most important thing to do in any skidding situation is to look and steer where you want the vehicle to go.
