1. DON’T PANIC. Whiteouts are typically caused by blowing snow. ‘Blowing’ means that intermittently you’ll probably be able to see.
2. DO NOT stop your car.
3. Drive as slowly as you think necessary but don’t pull over or stop. It increases your chances of getting hit and/or injured.
4. Turn on your effing lights. They won’t help YOU see, but they’ll help OTHER PEOPLE SEE YOU. See above.
5. Look for the sides of the road. Specifically, the right side of the road. If you have a hard time seeing, roll down the passenger window.
6. Don’t pass people. It’s a dumb idea.
7. Don’t tailgate. Same reason.
