Ice & Snow Driving

• Drive with two hands. Always.

• Before turning, slow down while traveling in a straight line.

• While turning, maintain a slow and regular speed. If you accelerate suddenly, your tires could lose traction.

• While turning, don’t make any sudden steering wheel movements.

• Only brake in a straight line before the turn, and do so gradually. Do not brake during the turn.

• Increase your following distance from other cars significantly.

• If your wheels lock and slide, release the brake pedal to recover traction, then slowly brake again.

• Try to avoid changing lanes in slush. It’s safer to change lanes when slush is not on the road.

• If using chains, check for proper clearance between the tire and the vehicle, as well as the clearance between dual tires.
