Remember, unless you have anti-lock, if you brake
so
hard that your wheels stop rolling, you’ll just slide. Brake
so
your wheels always keep rolling and you can still
steer.
Whatever your braking system,
allow
greater
following distance on any slippery road.
Watch for slippery spots. The road might be fine
until you hit a spot that’s covered with ice. On
an otherwise clear road, ice patches may appear in
shaded areas where the sun can’t reach: around
clumps of trees, behind buildings or under bridges.
Sometimes the surface of a curve or an overpass
may remain icy when the surrounding roads
are clear.
If
you see a patch of ice ahead of you,
brake befor2 you are on
it.
Try
not
to
brake
while you’re actually on the ice, and avoid sudden
steering maneuvers.
If
You’re Caught
in
a
Blizzard
If
you are stopped by heavy snow, you could be in a
your vehicle unless you know for sure that you are near
help and you can hike through the snow.
