The Harassed driver was busily en
gaged with a spade in the mud beside
his car when a stranger hailed him.
"Stuck in the mud?" askedthe stran
ger.
"No." reolied the driver. "T just
swore to myself that I3d bury the first
fool that asked me that question and
this is your grave."

driving problems by affecting visibi

general maneuverability,and the obtain
ing of sufficient traction to get the
vehicle underway. .Suggestions for
driving under these conditions are as
follows s
1. Adjust the speed of your'vehicle
to existing conditions.

snow but remember that tire chains are
only a traction aid and do not elimin
ate the-unfavorable driving conditions
caused by the weather.

ping or turning when possible well in
advance of the action.

gear .and use the engine compression
as a brake.

standard steps which will always get
you out successfully. However, here
are some steps which are generally
wise*

2. * Steer in the same direction in
which the rear end is ' skidding, but
avoid over-steering.
3. AVOID BREAKING.
4. Keep the clutch engaged.
5. Don’t lift your foot from the
accelerator pedal suddenly because of

■ ing the skid. .
