ROCHESTER, Minn- Driving in the snow sounds dangerous especially if you are a teenage driver or the parent of one. According to the Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety, it s actually perfect for them to gain some experience.
Teenage drivers normally don t have experience driving in snow. To help them develop some and feel more comfortable driving in it, the department encourages them to go to an empty parking lot so they can learn the increased distance for stopping or how to maintain control when sliding. Learning how to use the emergency brake when roads are snow covered is another important thing Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety feels they should be educated on as well.
