Default How not to get stuck in snow

So, if you live in a climate where snow collects into massive

something to cut those things off before you park your car.


All you have to do is kick them. But you want your tenants to knock them
off their cars before they turn into the parking stall. You don't think
they'd stop in the street to do that, do you? No, at best they'll stop in
the parking lot, kick them off, then park. Either way, you'll get snow
chunks accumulating in your parking lot, because it's winter time.

Then, when
you next put your car in reverse to pull out of your parking stall,
there won't be those blocks of ice behind your wheels to prevent your
car from moving.


All they have to do is turn their wheels before backing up so as to not
back right up and over the ice turds.


Really? Would you care to explain how turning the wheel causes the rear
wheels to not back up over ice turds that are directly behind the rear
wheels?

Besides, the OP mentioned "parking stalls". How much can you turn while
backing out of a parking stall?
