How to Drive on Snow and Ice Roads
1 Answers
To drive safely on snow and ice roads, follow these guidelines: Straight-line driving: Maintain sufficient following distance, generally at least twice the normal road distance. Keep a steady speed and avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration. Avoid overtaking unless absolutely confident. Turning: Reduce to minimum speed before entering turns. Steer slowly and smoothly, taking wide turns rather than sharp ones. Hill driving: Before ascending, slightly increase speed to gain momentum. Maintain constant speed during ascent without acceleration. Before descending, reduce to minimum speed and descend at steady pace without braking. Never coast in neutral gear.
