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 it may offer the least traction of all.

You can get wet ice when it’s 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’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 stability when you 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,

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’ll 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’s covered with ice. On an otherwise

clear road, ice patches may appear in shaded areas

where the sun can’t 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’re actually on the ice, and

avoid sudden steering maneuvers.
