During the winter season, snow and ice are no strangers to drivers here in Pekin, Illinois. We learn to adapt to the environment so that we can go on with our regular lives, regardless of the climate. Why hibernate inside of a toasty house when you can work hard to accomplish a goal? When it’s time to leave, make sure you keep kitty litter, sand, and road salt on hand to get you out of a slippery situation.
- Use sand to improve traction. The grittiness of sand helps create traction better than the use of salt alone, enabling you to move your car forward.
- Use salt to melt the ices or snow. Sodium chloride rocks dissolve snow, but it can also act as a corrosive agent on your vehicle. Use caution.
- Use kitty litter to absorb excess water and add traction. Sprinkle some clay-based kitty litter on your path to increase friction.
