If your vehicle starts to slide, ease your foot off

the accelerator pedal and quickly steer the

way you want the vehicle to go. If you start

steering quickly enough, your vehicle may

straighten out. Always be ready for a second

skid if it occurs.

Of course, traction is reduced when water, snow,

ice, gravel, or other material is on the road.

For safety, you will want to slow down and adjust

your driving to these conditions. It is important

to slow down on slippery surfaces because

stopping distance will be longer and vehicle

control more limited.

While driving on a surface with reduced traction,

try your best to avoid sudden steering, acceleration,

or braking, including reducing vehicle speed by

shifting to a lower gear. Any sudden changes could

cause the tires to slide. You may not realize the

surface is slippery until your vehicle is skidding.

Learn to recognize warning clues — such as

enough water, ice, or packed snow on the road

to make a mirrored surface — and slow down

when you have any doubt.

Remember: Any Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

helps avoid only the braking skid.

Driving at Night

Night driving is more dangerous than day driving.

One reason is that some drivers are likely to

be impaired — by alcohol or drugs, with night

vision problems, or by fatigue.

Here are some tips on night driving.

• Drive defensively.

• Do not drink and drive.

• Adjust the inside rearview mirror to reduce the

glare from headlamps behind you.

• Since you cannot see as well, you may need

to slow down and keep more space between

you and other vehicles.

• Slow down, especially on higher speed roads.

Your vehicle’s headlamps can light up only so

much road ahead.

• In remote areas, watch for animals.

• If you are tired, pull off the road in a safe

place and rest.
