As I was driving back home from visiting family in Noxon, Montana, it was a very sunny and pleasant drive in the mountains of Western Montana. But little did I know that shortly after I pass Missoula there would be an awful howling snow storm! The kind that is so white that it blinds your eyes if you stare into it for too long. The storm brought back warm memories of summer in Montana. Memories of driving on nice roads. When I was driving in that storm, the roads were ice covered the majority of my 600 miles home! The roads were so bad that there were semi trucks all over the ditch, that had slid off the icy interstate. But me, white knuckled, and strained eyes, I kept driving; no faster than 55 mph. There is a night and day difference between driving in the winter in Montana and driving in the summer. For instance, in the summer you have to watch out for a lot more wildlife than in the winter, because it is much warmer so therefore they are more likely to travel. And there's other things as well, such as, for people like me who drive a pickup truck we have to put weight in our beds in the winter for driving on icy roads. The reason for that is, if we didn't have at least 400 pounds in the …show more content…
back the back, the pickup would be more likely to slide around, causing you to have accidents, and slide off the road and get stuck in the deep snow. And not to mention the cold! It gets so cold here that people who own diesel pickups have to fuel up with a different mixtures of diesel to keep there fuel from freezing up. And people tend to drive slower in the winter, dew to changing road conditions. But you also need to be cautious in the summer for slippery roads, because on really warm days when it first starts raining, the rain can cause the asphalt to be come slick, hence vehicles sliding off the road and possibly causing accidents. But as drivers we need to always be aware of the dangers that are around us at all times! We need both experiences (summer and winter). We need to know how to correct an automobile that is sliding off the road as well as one that is just about ready to hit a deer. So if you haven't had anyone teach you to drive in the winter, find someone to give you lessons. If your vehicle goes into the ditch you need to know how to correct it in time and drive it back on the road without getting stuck in the snow. For the most part it is much more enjoyable too drive in the summer since the roads are dry and it isn't as straining on the driver.
But there is beauty both winter and summer driving. In the summer you can enjoy the colors of spring and fall, winter you can enjoy the frost bitten trees and the frozen crystal glazed rivers. But, of course the important part is being a safe driver. If you take precautions you should be fine. I enjoy driving both conditions. I have seen accidents more numerous in winter, but when you are in an accident, it can be just as dangerous in the summer as in the winter, just not as likely. The main thing to remember is to, drive with caution, use common since, keep your eyes on the road, know your surroundings, and never use electronics while you
drive. I will conclude this by saying, I am thankful for the opportunity to drive in both seasons, and for the ability and knowledge of avoiding wrecks. I wish you all a safe and enjoyble time on the road whatever the time may be!
Hi, I am here to talk you about the pros and cons of driving in the summer and winter. The reason I say that is because I have been hearing different opinions about driving in the winter is better than driving in the summer, and of course, driving in the summer is better than driving in the winter. Although, it depends on what you are driving in and how you drive when driving. I say that because you could drive in the winter and still be cold because you did not turn on your heat. On the other hand, you could drive in the summer and still be hot if you do not let down any windows and or turn on the ac.
To start of we all know that driving in Winter all drivers experience low visibility which causes all drivers to take it slower than usual. Before thinking about driving in Winter, you need to make sure you know how to handle snowy and icy roads before getting behind the wheel. All it takes is the smallest patch of ice or snow to cause you to skid of the road, which could cause life threatning injuries
Depending on where you live there are stark differences between driving in the summer vs. the winter. First there is the factor of snow and ice in the winter, and in the summer you get harsh rains. There are many variables that we could discuss in these next few paragraphs, but we are only going to be able to list a few.
The differences between driving in the winter and driving in the summer are greater than the similarities. Driving in the heat may be manageable while driving a car that has a functioning AC, but if your AC doesn’t work you’ll be uncomfortable the whole ride. But let’s say you’re driving during the winter and your heater doesn’t work, you could simply dress in warm clothing to fix that issue. As for the similarities, both seasons require your cars heating
Driving in the winter and summer are alike even if you're driving in either one something harmful might happen. If you’re drive and get do you get to much wind in your face. If you drive in the summer you get to much heat. The wind could take over your car and cause a big accident on the bridge. The heat from the sun you would need sunglass when driving to block the sun from blinding you.
Snow is a concept that only a few people really know about. It seems like most people hate snow with a burning passion. However, the true northerners praise every day that it snows; mostly because it does not happen a lot. At one point everyone that participates in a snow sport has to hope that it will snow every winter. Unfortunately, our hopes and dreams do not always come true. That was why snowmaking was developed in the 1980s and has been upgraded every year so maximum snow production is possible. The first reason was to fill in the gaps that Mother Nature left out. However, now the amount of snow we receive is drastically less than what it used to be. Instead of making snow to fill in the gaps, we have to make most of the snow we ski
It had been raining all of yesterday, and there was still an occasional drizzle now and then. The world looked rather two-dimensional, strange and different. During the car ride, I listened to my music the entire time, the one thing that keeps me from car sickness, and looked out the window. I had never seen anything like it before. Flat land, as far as the eye could see. No houses, fields, or anything but short grass. Combined with the flat gray quality of the sky, the view was rather surreal, a little bit like being on the moon. Sometime after 5 pm, we crossed the Illinois-Wisconsin state line, which was a special moment for me, my first time being over the state border in a little under ten years. The scenery got a little strange again, because we had just got out of the extremely urban area of Wisconsin, because that is our “down south.” But we were now in Illinois’ “up north” area, which consisted of acres of pine forests, dotted with an abundance of biker bars and boat rental
In the story “What Happened During the Ice Storm” by Jim Heynen, it touches people’s hearts by showing the kindness to others. By showing that smaller things can matter, this story shows the heartwarming acts and kindness. Some parts of the setting may be described as hearty.
Dave started walking home. The winter was the worst time of the year for him. He had tons of paper work, and not enough light to work with. The generator he was able to afford could only power a small wattage of lights and it simply was not enough to work with. My eyes are already bad enough, he thought as he pulled off his glasses to clean the snow from the lenses. Dave readjusted his hat to better cover his face and slid the bifocals back on his nose. Snow crunched under his feet as he trudged home. It was a particularly dead night and not even the moon dared to show his face. He had no car's headlights to light his path. All he had was the occasional street lamp, ...
"Spring in Utah can be dramatic with clouds and a quick rainstorm or snow flurry one moment, and warm sunshine in the next. Spring is one of the most popular in Utah seasons because you can ski and golf on the same day and the weather in Utah's national parks is perfect. There is a fresh coat for skiing plus fours (the score) for golfing. Summer in Utah is outdoors all the time, warm days and nights. The weather in Utah's national parks, Arches, Canyonlands, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef and Zion is often quite warm, but with a little planning, it is a great season to be out playing. July is the hottest month in Utah, but with an early start on the trail, you can take the afternoon to rest in the shade, set up camp or grab a drink. Autumn in Utah is as colorful and varied as the seasons. With a thunderstorm here and there, it's pretty much perfect throughout The mighty 5 of Utah. Red Rock Country loves the fall and everyone is out playing in sunny Northern Utah too. Grab a layer for the evening. Winter in Utah is colder but surprisingly pleasant. Most of Utah's snow is reserved for the mountains, but even our national parks love the occasional dusting of snow. In a way, winter in national parks likes Bryce Canyon and Arches is a magical season."(visitutah.com) Every season is nice and pleasant in
When the temperature is in the nineties, the black asphalt of the road can reach 150 degrees. This is why most tire blowouts occur during the summer months. Unlike the obvious dangers of winter driving on slippery roads, tire blowouts take motorists by surprise and often result in loss of control of their cars.
The snow that was predicted to be several inches by the end of the weekend quickly piled up to around eight inches by that evening. At times, the snow was falling so heavily you could hardly see the streetlights that glistened like beacons in a sea of snow. With the landscape draped in white, the trees hangi...
Driving in the summer is so much safer and enjoyable than driving in the winter. When driving in the summer you can actually enjoy the scenery. Driving in the winter there isn't much scenery to enjoy. In my opinion driving in summer is way more safer than driving in winter, because of the harsh climate that occurs in winter. In the winter you have to deal with driving in freezing temperatures and icy rodes that make it harder to control your car.
The biggest difference between summer and winter is the climate. One of the main attractions of summer is the warm weather. I like being outside on a bright sunny day, and letting the sun warm my body. I also like that we get an occasional thunder storm. The excitement fills the air when I see the thunder clouds rolling in. The sound of thunder, and the lighting shows that come from the storms are fascinating. On the other hand winter i...
Bad road surfaces, weather conditions, vehicles conditions should be taken into consideration too. Drivers main factor that contribute to accidents beside reckless driving is road conditions One can observe the negative side of bad conditioned roads especially when the weather is bad. A poorly designed roadway, intersection, or means of controlling traffic can at times cause or contribute to an accident. Poorly placed and poorly designed road signs or barriers can cause unnecessary injury when vehicles collide with them. At times, such defects will result in liability by the governmental agency responsible for the design and maintenance of the roadway, although governmental immunity may apply. If the weather is rainy or snowy, the vehicles could easily slip on the road.. There is a less chance for the driver to spot the hazard that is because of bad road conditions until his or her car starts to slide out of control If the weather is rainy or snowy, the vehicles could easily slip on the road. This is why it is highly recommended for the driver to check on their vehicle before starting a long journey. Service the vehicle from time to time in order to keep the car system in its best conditions. By servicing the car,we could detect any failures in system and replace it. Thus, eventhough the road condition is bad having a well serviced vehicle
