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’ll

have a lot less traction or “grip” and will need to be

very

careful.

What’s 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

may offer

the

least traction of all. You can get “wet ice” when it’s

about freezing

(32°F;

0”

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’ll

want to brake very gently, too. (If you do have anti-lock,

see “Anti-Lock” in the Index.

This

system improves

your vehicle’s ability to make a hard stop on a slippery

road.) Whether you have the anti-lock braking system or

not, you’ll want to begin stopping sooner than you

would on

dry

pavement. Without anti-lock brakes,

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.
