Pay attention to weather and traffic reports on the radio. Allow extra travel time for inclement weather and/or traffic delays. In frigid temperatures, allow the vehicle to adequately warm up before driving. Clear the vehicle’s windows, headlights, tail and brake lights of snow and ice. Leave ample stopping time between you and the driver in front of you. Braking distance can be up to nine times greater on snowy, icy surfaces than on dry roads. Drive slowly and be cautious on bridges and overpasses – they often are the first to freeze over. On snowy roadways, accelerate and brake slowly. Applying the gas slowly to accelerate is best for regaining traction and avoiding skids. If your vehicle is equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS), and you get into a skid, remember S.S.S. Stomp on the brakes. Firmly depress the brake pedal Stay on the brakes. Do not pump the brakes Steer where you want the vehicle to go If your vehicle does not have ABS, gently pump the brakes to stop the vehicle. You need to maintain full control of the vehicle. Refer to the operating manual for proper methods to correct skids. During inclement weather, call and tell those at your destination your departure time, your travel route, and your anticipated arrival time. Ensure they have your cell phone number, as well. If you don’t really have to go out, stay home. Wait until weather and road conditions improve.
