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.

Remember, unless you have anti-lock, 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 can not 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 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.
