Driving on Slippery Surfaces
When driving on slippery surfaces such as wet trails, loose gravel, sand
or ice, be alert for the possibility of skidding and sliding.
Skidding or sliding can cause loss of control or overturn, especially if tires
regain traction unexpectedly. When operating on slippery surfaces such
as ice or loose gravel, slow down and use extra caution to help prevent
skidding or sliding. Always use extra caution when operating on sand or
on rough, slippery or loose terrain. Do not operate on excessively rough,
slippery or loose terrain.
Follow these precautions when driving in slippery conditions:
1. Slow down before entering slippery areas.
2. Be alert, watch the path ahead and avoid quick turns, which can
cause skids.
3. Correct a skid by turning the steering wheel in the direction of the
skid. Never apply the brakes during a skid.
