Driving on Slippery Surfaces
When driving on slippery surfaces such as wet trails, loose gravel or ice, be alert for the possibility of skidding and sliding. Under these
conditions, follow these precautions:
1.
Slow down.
2.
Read the trail and avoid quick, sharp turns, which can cause skids. Keep alert at all times.
3.
In the event of skidding, correct a skid by turning the steering wheel in the direction of the skid.
•
Failure to exercise care when operating on slippery surfaces can result in the loss of tire traction and cause loss of control, accident, and
serious injury or death.
•
Never apply the brakes during a skid.
•
Do not operate on excessively slippery surfaces.
•
Always reduce speed and use additional caution when operating on slippery surfaces.
