Safe Driving Pointers for Winter

Safe Driving Pointers for WinterBrake and accelerate lightly. Try not to do anything forcefully in bad weather. When you need to slow down quickly in slippery conditions, try lightly pumping your brakes. This reduces your chance of locking your tires and spinning out of control.

If your vehicle has ABS brakes, it is recommended that you hold the brake down as far as possible in an emergency. The ABS system prevents the wheels from locking, enabling you to steer around obstacles.

Watch for black ice. This is a very dangerous condition. Black ice is a thin layer of transparent ice that forms when the temperature is around the freezing point. It sometimes makes the road look like it's slightly wet. This can sneak up on you, so when the temperature gets close to freezing, look for clues--such as when the tires of the vehicle in front of you stop spraying. Ice can also build up on mirror arms, antenna, or the top corners of the windshield.
