We all know that when winter approaches, new cold comes along with it. Six months ago, I got my driver’s licenses, and when I was a new driver, it was spring time, and the roads were still dry and smooth. Now, the winter is approaching, and I don’t have that great of a feel for slick, icy roads. So my concern this coming winter is staying safe with the cold weather. I am a pretty confidant driver, and so far, I have not been in any accidents. But I’ve been told by numerous people that every new driver at some point will get into an accident. But my major concern right now is making sure I am able to get to school every day in a non frozen car. In the past years, I have been able to jump into my mom’s car, already warm, and head off to school. But now, I am the one who has to wake up those 15 minutes earlier to make sure my car is defrosted and drivable. I am concerned for the future when it is much colder than it has been, and my car will not be able to start. My car is the unfortunate one that has to park in the drive way while my mom and dad’s cars park comfortably in the garage. Then have been mornings already when after turning the car on and letting it warm up for a good ten minutes was not enough for the frozen over windshield wiper to melt. I hope that there will not be mornings when my car is dead, or is piled up and imprisoned between blocks of snow. I guess that this new kind of responsibility for owning your own car, and being a new driver comes with a lot more problems than imagined.

I have also have that concern because I am supposed to get my license in 2 months, and I still haven't had practice driving in these icy conditions.
if you dont feel safe driving on icy conditions, practice more. practice makes perfect :)
I know it's really hard to maneuver in the worst of conditions but with time you will get better. I think all it really takes is experience... as for the SEVERELY iced over cars... I don't think any amount of experience will prepare you for that XD
