Driving Tips
BY Martha Johnson
Dodge Safety Consultant

CLOUDY SKIES may give
YOU the blues now and then, but
don't let them bring accident
blues into your life.
Ice, snow and rain are prob
lens for every driver this time
of year.
One basic factor can be PIN
pointed for increased driving dill
ficulties in wet weather: Less
Friction.
Friction between tires and
pavement produces traction.
Without traction we couldn't
turn corner, stop or start a car
So, safe winter driving requires
extra friction.
HERE, THEN, are a few sug-
gestions for deep-winter driving:
When roads are slippery from
snow or ice, many good drivers
start in high gear with cars
equipped with standard trans
missions. This eliminates wheel
spinning. With automatic trans
missions il generally is best TO
feed the gas slowly for the same
reason.
Stopping is even more of a
problem in wet or icy weather.
However, a few simple rules
eliminate most danger.
FIRST, begin to stop some
distance from your destination:
Release the accelerator pedal
slowly. Press the brake lightly at
first and release it almost at
once. Repeat this operation sew
eral times. This eliminates the
danger Of locked wheels.
