Topic: Winter Driving:
Background info:
My name is Amy, and I guess by the name it tells you I’m a girl. I live in Central Vermont, and went to school in Michigan so I had my share of winter driving and got stuck way too many times. I work in a rather professional office so I wear a lot of skirts and dresses. I have a 2003 Mustang with manual transmission and a 2006 Mustang with automatic transmission. On this particular night I had my 2006 Mustang, it has summer tires on it, and this was the first time in the snow with it. I had left work about 7pm, we had a 3 inch mixture of snow and ice on the roads and cars, it was still snowing lightly. Actually due to my being somewhat of an air head I had to let the car warm up about 15 minutes because I neglected to put a snow brush and ice scraper in the car. So after warming the car up, I struggled to get the car our of my parking space and out of the parking lot, and managed to make my way to the entrance ramp to the interstate, a normal 10 minute drive which this night took about 30 minutes. The entrance ramp was clogged with cars trying to make it up, so I thought that I would drive to my tennis club to burn a little time and use the ladies room because by now I had to go sooooo badly. The club is located in a part of an industrial complex, I turned onto the road leading to the club, and was not picky as to where to park which was a parallel parking space in front of the building, only to find the place closed. The area where my club is, is not widely traveled and you somewhat have to go out of your way to find it, and also in a bad area as my cell phone could not get a signal. Once back in the car I found myself stuck so badly, spinning my wheels helplessly. Not that I mind being stuck, because for me I feel sexy and helpless spinning my wheels in my Mustangs, and you often meet some real cute hunks who are more than gladly to rescue the “damsel in distress”, however I was really not going anywhere, and I was getting super frantic because of my need to use the ladies room at this time and I was rather desperate by now. I think I was there for a total of two hours to 2 and ½ hours and must have been on a lot of ice also because I was not going anywhere, wheels just spinning and spinning, when a plow operator who plows the club parking lot came by and helped me out of my situation. I finally made it home about two hours or so later. My old Mustang is a manual transmission, with all season. I usually was able to get around most of the time, got stuck a many times, and was usually able to rock it out, occasionally I would need a push, and this is the first year though with an automatic. Of course having to use the ladies room as badly and desperately as I had to and not being very picky about finding a better parking location and I think being as frantic as I was because of the need to go I believe did not help, because I am sure that I nailed it at first trying to get out to find somewhere else to go, and I just dug into the snow and ice pretty deep creating myself some ruts of my own. My poor skirt though.
The first few times getting stuck, and most of the time, I was the only one stuck it was pretty embarrassing, being the only one in a flat parking lot spinning your wheels, however over the years I have come to enjoy being stuck in the snow and ice, and that seems to happen every time it snows because there is an advantage to being an attractive female and that is a lot of cute guys show up to help you out, seems to be a nice way of meeting guys, so in almost every snowfall I get stuck and sometimes on purpose just to meet someone. I cannot afford snow tires so I drive right now with the all seasons with me 2003 Mustang and summer tires on the 2006 Mustang that came with the car and you really are stuck with those.

Although I do get stuck at time deliberately to meet guys, this time was a real predicament I got into you might say. I was really not thinking straight by then seeing the club closed and having to desperately use the ladies room. You must know how you get frantic and panic, when in that situation and I was really not in the mood to meet anyone just looking for relief.

Also one of my problems is that it seems like every time I get my car stuck in the snow, ice of mud it’s an instant signal to my bladder to start to act up, and makes me have to use the ladies room desperately and most of the time I end up having a wetting accident. Sometimes I actually look forward to getting stuck in the snow. I feel so sexy and helpless in my Mustang, and you get to meet a lot of cute guys who always seem to show up to lend a helping hand or an encouraging word. The only time it becomes a problem is when you have to use the ladies room badly.

Okay I know I was long in my background information, so here is my question.

Question: I would like to know from you guys other than getting new tires, which might or might not of helped what a girl should keep in her car so that she was have a decent chance to getting out of a situation (if I want to) again I know there are going to be times when I might not be able to do it on my own, however I would just say like to have an 80% chance at it. I really would like a list which could be a survival kit for female drivers in the snow. Also do you think snow tires would have made any difference in this situation, or would I have been still stuck on and in the ice snow mixture? And are there any other girls out there who have over active bladders that start acting up when your car gets stuck in the snow or are in a stressful situation like that.

This is going to sound very dumb but bear with me. In June my car was illegally moved by a construction compant without informing either myself or the police. I reported the car stolen. I found the car a month later 15 blocks away from where it was stolen. At the same time, my mom's car died and she needed a vehicle, so I drove it home and its been there ever since. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I didnt take the car off the stolen car report. Do I have to have the vehicle with me to take it off the hot sheet? Or can I just give information.

So I'm traveling from SW Missouri to NW New York State at the end of February. I need help. I'm really nervous on the driving conditions. I own a 2001 Toyota MR2, this car is RW (Rear Wheel) Drive and the engine is in the back. I have to go however, and flying and renting a car is, somehow, impractical. So I need something that I could purchase or buy that would improve my chances against the snow and ice.

If someone from the area that owns a small vehicle like this, and could give me advice would be great. Also nothing too expensive, I'm up for anything except for purchasing all around new tires. Thank you for the tips and information in advance! : )

Do you feel that the above statement is true. I have a full UK licence for Motorcycles and I use them. Cars and HGV class 1 and I think it's time for repeat ability to drive tests say every 5 years. Your car has an MOT to check it's safe so why not your driving.
I think a medical should be included in this and I also think at the cost to us the motoring public as individuals.
If you fail then you have a retest within 6 months and if you fail again professional tuition to bring your standards up to an acceptable level
That should improve things on the road for all
Your reactions please

I got my first ever speeding ticket today. I was going 131 in a 100km's per hour zone. I quit smoking yesterday and all I think about is smoking. I don't usually speed and when I do, not nearly that much so does anyone think if I appeal it I can get the ticket revoked or even reduced if I tell them I quit smoking and that's why I was speeding?

A little while back in Chicago, a 4 year old little girl named Maya washit by a driver who rolled thru a Stop sign . The driver dragged her under the car not even knowing she was there and after she came loose the driver DID NOT EVEN STOP! Maya died. Whats wrong with drivers?

It is inevidable that they would get in accident soon or later and hurt others who are not involved, I just don't get it. It's like ego trip that their car is faster than other's car? Or are they competing to kill someone else?

I live next door to a primary school. Every morning there are about 20 4 x 4 's and large cars parked on the yellow line dropping their kids off yet no one seems to get a parking ticket. Conversely the Rugby club is up the road with the same single yellow line yet cars parked there are ticketed? Seems like selective law enforcement to me?

Like people will just pull into their parking lots and put the emergancy brake on. I only use the brake when im on a steep incline or steep decline. But I have seen people put the brake on when they are on flat ground, and even in their garages. Should I be using the brake every time I park?
