Winter can be a harsh time for car owners. Snowstorms and icy conditions make it very difficult to get the vehicle in good condition. Sometimes it is difficult to estimate how deep the snow on any street. After a lot of snow, your car may be buried. In any case, it is common in winter. Here are some important notes for you in case you encounter this situation:

1 If you turn down the street and get hung up on the snow drift, do not step on the gas! This will only create the ice surface under the tire and it will be harder to dislodge your car. If you have passengers in the car with you, have them come out and rock the car if it is safe. Put your car in reverse and tap the gas. Then put your car in drive, and then tap the gas,. Continue to do so until your car gets enough momentum roll in the snow

2 If you tried rocking the car and it does not come loose, get an old blanket, mat or board. Dig a snow tire stuck around you and push the blanket, mat or board under your tires. Then, drive to a blanket, mat or board and hope you get enough momentum to get the drift.

3 If you tried rocking the car and into a new plane for your car to drive and still be stuck then it is a good idea to shovel or snow blower if it is available. You May also want to try kitty litter or gravel as a rough surface for the rubber grip. Do your best to feed your tires and the space in front of or behind your car. Lay gravel or kitty litter down and attempt to drive out of the drift. If you are tired still spinning, shovel more from around the tires.

4 If you have tried all the above and remain stuck, you may need to call the tow truck to move your car.
