Tips for Driving on Ice
In order to stay safe on icy roadways, consider the following winter driving tips:
- Drive slowly. Winter weather conditions are hazardous, and many accidents can be avoided by slowing down and remaining extra alert.
- Turn on your lights, even in the day time, as this will increase other drivers’ ability to see your vehicle.
- Brake lightly because slamming on the brakes increases your chances of losing control and entering a skid.
- Steer into your slide, if you lose control. This will help your car’s steering re-align with its tires, enabling you to regain control of your car more quickly.
Although there are no fool-proof ways to avoid a collision, the above safety tips should reduce your chances of being involved in an accident on icy roadways.
