Hear, hear!  Finally someone laid it on the line.  Use your head.  Why
couldn't this have been said about thirty posts ago.  Another good idea
is to have emergency supplies like a map, gloves, boots, a full tank of
gas when you start your trip.  
There's nothing that will ensue disater more than a lack of
preparedness.
As for the technical aspects of driving on rain, snow or ice,  CHECK
WITH THE DEALERSHIP.  They have access to the results of hundreds of
hours of testing with your model of car.  This BS of trying to remember
thirty or forty rules that only peripherally relate to your car is going
to delay a reaction or cause an incorrect reaction.
