Driving on Snow or Ice

Most of the time, those places where your tires meet

the road probably have good traction.

However, if there is snow or ice between your tires

and the road, you can have a very slippery situation.

You will have a lot less traction or “grip” and will need

to be very careful.

What is 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 is

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.

Unless you have the anti-lock braking system, you will

want to brake very gently, too. (If you do have anti-lock,

see Braking on page 4-6. This system improves your

vehicle’s stability when you make a hard stop on a

slippery road.) Whether you have the anti-lock braking

system or not, you will want to begin stopping sooner

than you would on dry pavement. Without anti-lock

brakes, if you feel your vehicle begin to slide, let up on

the brakes a little. Push the brake pedal down steadily

to get the most traction you can.
