Stopping distances on roads with ice and snow can triple over distances under normal conditions. Double or triple the 2-second count rule to create a safety buffer zone behind the vehicle in front of yours. Brake and steer gently and deliberately. Brake carefully with short rapid application of the brakes. Turn on your low-beam headlights or fog lights whenever fog, rain or snow reduces visibility.
High beams increase the glare and reduce visibility.
Only leave the car if help is visible within 100 yards. Display a trouble sign by hanging a brightly colored cloth on the radio antenna. Turn on the car's engine for about 10 minutes each hour. Run the heater when the car is running. Also, turn on the car's dome light when the car is running.
