Here are some basic tips for driving in snow conditions:
- If you don't have to - don't.
- Slow down.
- Increase the distance between your vehicle and the car in front of you by at least 3-4 car lengths.
- Don't stomp your brakes. This will only cause your vehicle to skid. Ease to a gradual stop.
- Use extra caution on bridges and overpasses.
- If you should skid - steer into the skid and don't hit your brakes. Your vehicle will right itself and then you can brake.
- If you must travel, toss a blanket and water and a snack into the back seat.
- Make sure you have plenty of fuel.
