Driving on Ice Tips
Find a place where there are no cars ahead of you and no cars behind you.
Slow Down. Check your stopping distance by applying the brakes gently and see how icy the roads are and do not wait until you have to stop. Gauge how your car reacts to the road conditions.
Ice and Snow driving can be much easier if you know how your car will respond.
Relax and look for what's ahead of you down the road.
Most accidents happen because of driving too fast for conditions.
Worn out Tires will not grip the road. 1/8th inch of tread depth may look fine and work okay on a dry road but are worthless in snow. The State of Pa allows tires to pass Inspection at 1/16th of an inch.
Good Tires - Drive Slower - Windshield washer fluid full - Good wipers
Relax and give yourself room to stop safely
Remove Snow and Ice from windows and the roof of you car- all are Safe Driving Tips.
