Driving in Bad Weather
The best thing to do when the roads are icy or snow covered
is to avoid driving if possible. However, there are times that we cannot avoid
getting out on the roads. In times like this there a few things to consider
that might help keep you safe.
First: Be sure to leave in plenty of time so that you can
keep your speeds low. Driving slow will not only help you control your vehicle it
will also help stopping.
Second: Brake gently to avoid sliding, and if you start to
lose traction and slide let off the brake.
Third: Fully remove ice and snow from the windshield and
lights. This will give you the best chance of seeing any obstacles and allow
others to see you.
Finally: Don’t assume your vehicle is able to handle any
road condition. Even if you made a great decision by purchasing one of the
safest vehicles made there are conditions that are not suitable for any
vehicle. Never pass a snowplow and do not drive through snow banks.
