when is it safe to drive in areas where the roads are salted
Should I wait until after the first big rain storm to be sure all the road salt is off the roads.

Two good rain storms work for me.

Since your '81 is from the age of galvanized cars, I would drive it and treat it to a good wash afterward! Yea Spring!

Yeah a good wash. I plan to wash mine next month (April) I think.
Hopefully the garden hoses will be thawed by then.... Too cold to wash in the winter and then it just gets dirty again real fast anyway...

Just wash it. I had mine out this morning for a spirited ride to Newmarket & back. All the roads were dry & most were clean of grit & salt (but not all).
Spring! Ian

If you are sufficiently paranoid, you could take a sample of the water on the pavement and test it for % salt.
Or just drive the car...
