Winter Road Trips: What to expect, what to prepare for, and how to avoid the problems many drivers have.
Kristoffer Martin
Undergraduate/English
Oh the dreaded four letter word is almost upon us again, you know it, I know it, we all know it; snow! Ok, ok, so we Wisconsinites know snow, but that very assumption can make driving a hazard. There are hundreds of car accidents each year across the Midwest, be it a few blocks from home, or on the long road trip back home for Thanksgiving. So with that said I thought I’d give my top 10 suggestions for drivers during this winter, and that means you students out there. (Did you know one in four winter accidents are actually a college age student? National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Survey of Accidents 2004 showed that one in four accidents were with college age drivers or younger. That was out of 248 accidents from November 2004-February 2005, some 75 accidents were of college student drivers.)
