Drive carefully in icy conditions


Please drive carefully when roads are icy or slushy

Remember It can take 10x times longer to stop in icy conditions than on a
dry road.

Drive slowly, allowing extra room to slow down and stop.

Use the highest gear possible to avoid wheel spin.

Maneuver gently, avoiding harsh braking and acceleration.

To brake on ice or snow without locking your wheels, get into a low gear
earlier than normal, allow your speed to fall and use the brake pedal
gently.

If you start to skid, ease off the accelerator but do not brake suddenly.
