I blog better when I'm drunk.

You know what's good? Moonshine and Diet Dr. Pepper. That's no lie. You know what's not good? Texas ice drivers. Driving in bad weather isn't that hard people. I've compiled a list of quick tips. I know all of these because I grew up where there's actually winter and treacherous driving.
Rules to Avoid Idiocy While Driving:
1-Drive slower than normal (unless you're over 70 then drive faster... you're going too slow.)
2-Drive faster than you would in an active school zone. There is such thing as too cautious. Driving 10 mph (miles per hour) while everybody else drives 25-30 puts everyone in danger.
3-When coming to a hill headed up DO NOT BRAKE you won't make it up the hill. You're going to need momentum on your side. Inertia is your friend.
4-When coming to a hill headed down DO NOT BRAKE it's ice just let off the gas and let the transmission go to work. If you start to go too fast go ahead and lightly tap the brakes, but if the wheels stop spinning you've pressed too hard.
5-Do not press the gas while changing lanes or turning a corner. Turning + accelerating + icy roads = certain doom. You can't argue with physics.
6-This is a 2 parter: If you hit an ice patch and start to skid A. Put the car in neutral. Pushing the gas will spin your tires and is unnecessary. Pushing the brakes stops the tires from spinning and is unnecessary. If your car is in neutral when you get off the ice the tires will catch the road and spin just like they're supposed to. B. Turn the wheel into the skid. You're going to need your back end to be in line with the front end AND the road simultaneously. Conversely, if you haven't put it in neutral you run the risk of flipping your car when you hit a patch that's not ice. You'll need your tires to spin when you get back to road.
7- If you're afraid of ice driving STAY OFF THE ROAD. Being afraid of driving makes you drive like an idiot.
8- If you disagree with me saying "Driving in bad weather isn't hard people". Please refer to rule 7.
