Driving In

Mud,

Sand,

Snow,

Ice

When you drive

mud, snow or sand, your wheels won’t get good traction.

You can’t accelerate as quickly, turning

more difficult, and you’ll need

longer braking distances.

It’s best to use a low gear when you’re in mud

the deeper the mud, the

lower the gear. In really deep mud, the idea is to keep your vehicle moving

you don’t get stuck.

When you drive on sand, you’ll sense a change in wheel traction. But it will

depend upon how loosely packed the sand is. On loosely packed sand (as on

beaches or sand dunes) your tires will tend to sink into the sand. This has an

effect on steering, accelerating, and braking. You may want to reduce

the

air

pressure in your tires slightly when driving on sand. This will improve

traction.

Hard packed snow and ice offer the worst tire traction. On these surfaces,

it’s very easy to lose control. On wet ice, for example, the traction is

poor

that you will have difficulty accelerating. And if you do get moving, poor

steering and difficult braking can cause you

slide out of control.
