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 Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) 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.
