Allow Yourself Extra Time When Planning Your Trip If You Must Drive In Winter Conditions

posted in Driving Tips |

Winter highway and general road conditions, especially in Michigan where snow and ice can come up all of a sudden while you are driving, are what drivers dread in the months of November through March (sometimes even April!).

You first need to allow yourself extra time when planning your trip if you must drive in winter conditions. Clear off your vehicle of all snow, ice, etc., including on your hood and roof. Be sure to turn your headlights on so that other drivers can see you better. Although the posted speed limit may be 65 mph, you will want to decrease your speed to allow for at least three times the normal stopping distance, should you need to brake quickly. Use low gears to maintain your vehicle’s traction, especially on hills. If there are snowplows out, you must stay behind them at lest 200 feet and never pass them on the right (this is against the law). Be especially careful when passing them in the passing lanes.

Often, the passing lane is in worst condition than the driving lane so avoid sudden lane changes. In general, brake early and gently so your vehicle does not skid. If your wheels do lock up, ease off the brake and never pump anti-lock brakes (just stomp and steer out of a skid).

Some other general tips for driving in winter conditions include the following:

1. Watch for slippery bridge decks.

2. Do not use cruise control/overdrive.

3. Do not cut quickly in front of large trucks.

4. GO SLOW AND DRIVE DEFENSIVELY!

When highway conditions become too much for you and your vehicle, do not hesitate to postpone/cancel your travel plans altogether because your safety is what matters. Eventually, the roads will be salted and clear and you will be able to get to your destination. Is Water Fuel Technology A Scam ?

Do you want to learn more about the water fuel technology, and whether or not it can really be used to replace gas? More and more people around the world are being exposed to this secret, and it is because there has been a significant increase in the number people looking for fuel alternatives.

1. The Unavoidable Rise of Fuel Prices

With the supply of gas running lower and the tension between Iran and the US increasing, it is possible that fuel prices will continue to rise even more in the near future. This has caused many drivers to become very worried, forcing some of them to sell their cars and take public transport instead. One of the most amazing discoveries I made is that some people have been running their cars partly with water now.

2. How Can Water Be Used As A Fuel?

Water cannot be directly burned like a fuel, but gases can be extracted from it to be burned for energy. With H2O being much easier and cheaper to acquire than gasoline, it is no wonder that many drivers are using the water fuel technology.

The discovery of water’s ability to provide energy was actually made many years ago, but has never been released to the public. Oil prices can be very erratic during economic crisis and wars, thus there is always research being done to find gas alternatives.

3. Have You Heard Of The Deuterium Project?

The research of using water as a fuel had already begun 20 years ago in a project called The Deuterium Project. Today, we can use this technology ourselves by building a simple electrolysis system and installing it into our cars.

4. How Come We Have Never Heard Of This Water Fuel Technology Before?

This technology had never been commercialized due to its ability to impact the oil industry significantly. If everyone were to run their cars with water, the demand for oil would drop, seriously affecting countries that rely on crude oil sales for national income.

5. How Can You Use The Water Fuel Technology Yourself?

The water system can be built from home for typically less than $150, depending on whether you already have some of the parts at home. So far, this system has been able to provide enough energy to power cars and trucks. You do still need some amounts of gasoline, but at smaller amounts if you use this system.
