What’s the worst time for this? “Wet ice.” Very cold

snow or ice can be slick and hard to drive on. But wet

ice can be even more trouble because it may offer the

least traction of all. You can get wet ice when it’s about

freezing (32 F; 0 C) and freezing rain begins to fall.

Try to avoid driving on wet ice until salt and sand crews

can get there.

Whatever the condition

-- smooth ice, packed, blowing

or loose snow

-- drive with caution. Accelerate gently.

Try not to break the fragile traction. If you accelerate

too fast, the drive wheels will spin and polish the surface

under the tires even more.

Your anti

-lock brakes improve your vehicle’s stability

when you make a hard stop on a slippery road. Even

though you have the anti-lock braking system, you’ll

want to begin stopping sooner than you would on dry

pavement. See “Anti

-Lock” in the Index.

Allow greater following distance on any

slippery road.

Watch for slippery spots. The road might be fine

until you hit a spot that’s covered with ice. On an

otherwise clear road, ice patches may appear in

shaded areas where the sun can’t reach: around

clumps of trees, behind buildings or under bridges.

Sometimes the surface of a curve or an overpass may

remain icy when the surrounding roads are clear. If

you see a patch of ice ahead of you, brake before you

are on it. Try not to brake while you’re actually on

the ice, and avoid sudden steering maneuvers.
