Icy Roads and Black Ice.

It’s that time of year for a tutorial on driving on the icy roads of Chicagoland.  Sometimes you just can’t avoid a collision when roads ice over, but you can definitely be prepared.  Your best bet is to know the weather for your entire route ahead of time.  This knowledge could help you slow down as slick spots approach, or you could avoid them altogether.

Here are some ways to avoid icy encounters-

1.  Make sure that your tires have the proper tread.

2.  Get new wiper blades so you can always see ahead.

3.  Run the air conditioner.  It may sound crazy, but it eliminates condensation on the windshield.

4.  Keep your headlights clear of snow and ice.

5.  Watch closely for black ice.  That puddle can be very dangerous.

A Real Body Shop at Work.

When you walk through the front door of the average body shop what do you see?  It’s probably the front desk where they take your money.  Then there are some chairs and two year old magazines scattered about.  Oh yeah, don’t forget the tube television in the upper corner of the waiting room with that soap opera blaring that you would normally not watch even if you were in the hospital!
