Remember, unless you have ABS, if you brake so

hard that your wheels stop rolling, you will just

slide. Brake so your wheels always keep rolling

and you can still steer.

• Whatever your braking system, allow greater

following distance on any slippery road.

• Watch for slippery spots. The road might be

ﬁne until you hit a spot that is covered with

ice. On an otherwise clear road, ice patches

may appear in shaded areas where the

sun cannot reach, such as 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 are

actually on the ice, and avoid sudden steering

maneuvers.

If You Are Caught in a Blizzard

If you are stopped by heavy snow, you could be in

a serious situation. You should probably stay

with your vehicle unless you know for sure that you

are near help and you can hike through the

snow. Here are some things to do to summon

help and keep yourself and your passengers safe:

• Turn on your hazard ﬂashers.

• Tie a red cloth to your vehicle to alert police

that you have been stopped by the snow.

• Put on extra clothing or wrap a blanket around

you. If you do not have blankets or extra

clothing, make body insulators from

newspapers, burlap bags, rags, ﬂoor

mats — anything you can wrap around yourself

or tuck under your clothing to keep warm.
