Remember, unless you have ABS, if you brake so hard

that your wheels stop rolling, you will 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 is covered with ice. On an

otherwise clear road, ice patches may appear in

shaded areas where the sun cannot reach, such as

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 are actually on the ice, and avoid sudden

steering maneuvers.

If You Are Caught in a Blizzard

If you are stopped by heavy snow, you could be in a

serious situation. You should probably stay with

your vehicle unless you know for sure that you are near

help and you can hike through the snow. Here are

some things to do to summon help and keep yourself

and your passengers safe:

• Turn on your hazard ﬂashers.

• Tie a red cloth to your vehicle to alert police that

you have been stopped by the snow.

• Put on extra clothing or wrap a blanket around you.

If you do not have blankets or extra clothing, make

body insulators from newspapers, burlap bags,

rags, ﬂoor mats — anything you can wrap around

yourself or tuck under your clothing to keep warm.
