Brake sooner than you would on dry pavement, lightly tapping or pumping your brakes to prevent your wheels from locking up. If you have a standard transmission, brake with your engine by shifting into a lower gear. Avoid rapid movements of the steering wheel to avoid spin-outs. At temperatures below zero degrees, roads can become extremely slick, even if no snow is falling from the sky. At higher temperatures, hydrocarbon emissions and water evaporate after leaving your vehicle's tail pipe.
Problems are most likely at intersections, especially during rush hour.
Yes, yes I know, and I am not about to insult your intelligence, but a surprising number of people seem to lack common sense from time to time. An undershirt, shirt, sweater, and jacket will trap your body heat more effectively, leaving you warm and toasty. Army studies show that 50 to 75 percent of the heat escaping your body leaves through the top of your head. Mittens or ski gloves will leave you warmer than ordinary gloves. This sounds stupid all right, but try to keep your clothes dry.
