WHEN YOUR CAR IS STUCK IN THE MUD

If you're stuck in mud, don't gun the engine. You'll dig yourself deeper if you do. Put pieces of old carpet, gravel, sand or branches under the drive wheels for traction (front wheel in a front-drive car, rear wheels is a rear-drive). Then keeping the front wheels pointed straight ahead, rock the car gently by shifting quickly. Low or drive to reverse. If you're not out after rocking 12 times, stop. You don't want to deepen the grooves or damage the transmission.
