[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 641301, member: 1963"] Cubsgirl, Instead of telling you your driving issues in snow are "operator error", ask your husband for some snow driving lessons (if he'll be patient with you). Otherwise, consider taking a few driving lessons in the winter, or just going to an empty parking lot while there's snow on the ground and getting feel for things. Believe it or not, I go EVERY winter with the first snowfall, and re-acquaint myself with winter carhandling. Just getting a feel for things before I take it on the road. It's easy to forget how long it takes to stop or start, how to control a skid, etc. Most likely, your husband is right, but he isn't being very helpful. What year, make, and model car do you drive? Is it front, rear, 4, or all-wheel drive? Do you have regular or ABS brakes? All those things make a difference in how you drive the car and not just in snow. If your husband is a mechanic and a good driver, he should be able to help you with these things. He should want you to be safe when you drive. [/QUOTE]
