It's winter in the northern hemisphere! Maybe the roads are slippery where you live?
Make the most of your low-friction driving environment!
Save fuel by avoiding unnecessary multiple-point turns! Make efficient u-turns in significantly less space than normal!
I've been doing this so much lately, I've lost count. It only occurred to me yesterday that it actually also saves gas.
