I run a small fleet of heavy-duty trucks (5-tons, tandem axle straight trucks, and 18 wheelers) and spend many hours driving through a wintery British Columbia. It scares the crap out of me watching people drive TOO FAST in ill-prepared vehicles (all season tires DO NOT work properly in snow).

More suggestions: Increase the space between your vehicle and those around you relative to what you would in the summer. DO NOT pass a heavy truck, get in front and slow down just because you don't like being behind a truck (do you really want 80000+ lbs of articulating vehicle directly BEHIND on an icy road?). Give advanced notice when changing lanes or exiting the road......I love people turning on their signal AFTER they have begun braking.
