Getting stuck in mud is just as common as getting stuck in\nsnow or in a ditch. In fact, as a driver, you are more likely to face such a scenario\nat least once in your life than not. For this reason and more, it is wise to be\nprepared for if it happens, but also, to know how to prevent this exasperating traffic\nset back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Get Your Car Out of Mud<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Basically, to get a car unstuck from mud, you need traction.\nAnd in order to gain traction, you will need a combination of supplies and\nmethod. If you have snow chains, put them on and see how well they work. They\nwill almost always pull you out of mud. If you do not have a set of snow chains\non hand, which is usually the case for most, rely on these tips instead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

? For front wheel-drive vehicles, add more weight to the\ntrunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

? Clear the mud away from each tire, front and back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

? If possible, pour sand or cat litter in front of or behind (depending on FWD or 4WD) each tire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

? Place cardboard or floor mats in front of or behind (depending on FWD or 4WD) each tire. You can also use anything else on hand, like blankets, clothing, coats, or towels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

? Use the rocking method by pressing the gas ever so slightly every time the vehicle rocks forward. DO NOT<\/strong> allow someone to stand behind the vehicle and push.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

? When all else fails, contact a local towing company for help. After all, that\u2019s what they\u2019re here for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
