Tips
for Safe Winter Driving Many accidents could be avoided if drivers followed these tips for driving safely, provided by the Discount Driving School, when it is snowing and roads are icy. 1. Perhaps the worst danger is "black ice," which forms on roads and bridges and is almost invisible. It is usually caused by snow that melts and refreezes. Since black ice is hard to see, drivers go over it at normal speeds, resulting often in very serious accidents. Always be alert to the possibility of black ice when temperatures are near or below freezing. Remember: temperatures may be slightly above freezing, but roadways over bridges and overpasses still may have lower temperatures, especially at night and in the early morning hours. 2. The distance required to stop can triple during slippery conditions. Driving at a slower speed, anticipating stops at traffic lights and intersections, and applying brakes sooner than normal will help prevent accidents. Slow down and always allow plenty of extra space between your vehicle and other vehicles to minimize the need for quick stops. 3. Acceleration, turning, and passing can be dangerous during winter conditions. Accelerate slowly to avoid loss of traction and possible loss of control. Turn slowly to avoid sliding and skidding. Avoid sudden changes of direction or movements. Pass with care. Again, leave extra space between yourself and other vehicles so there's room to maneuver in case something goes wrong. During a skid, steer cautiously in the direction you want the car to go. |
