Before you leave your house or from where you were parked, guarantee that your lights are not covered with snow and your wind shield is
cleared with those ice shavings. It would be difficult to find your wipers not working while you're all ready in the middle of the road.
Drive slowly. It's not a car chase. Nor is someone inviting you to compete in one.
When driving with heavy to moderate traffic, always remember to keep a distance from the car in front of you.
This enables you to stop slowly instead of breaking to a screeching halt. Thus, you can avoid any possible collisions caused by skidding.
When you need to stop or slow down, break gently. Roads are very slippery during winter and breaking moderately avoids your tires from sliding.
Make sure that your lights are turned on. This allows motorists who are approaching and behind you to see your vehicle more clearly.
Avoid meeting sanding trucks and snow plows. Drivers of those vehicles have very limited view of what's in front of them. You might getcrushed or plowed in the process.
When passing bridges or overpasses, make sure you're in the lower gear in order to support sliding from icy or wet areas.
