Remember,
unless
you
have
anti-lock,
if
you
brake
so
hard
that
your
wheels
stop rolling,
you’ll
just slide.
Brake
so
your
wheels
always keep rolling
and
you
can
still steer.
Whatever
your
braking
system,
allow
greater
following distance on
any
slippery
road.

If
You’re
Caught
in
a
Blizzard
Watch for slippery
spots. The road
might be fine
until
you
hit
a
spot that’s
covered
with
ice.
On
an
otherwise
clear
road,
ice patches
may
appear
in
shaded
areas
where
the sun
can’t
reach:
around
clumps of
trees,
behind
buildings, or under
bridges.
Sometimes the surface
of
a
curve
or an
overpass
may
remain
icy
when
the
surrounding
roads
are clear.
If
you see a
patch of
ice
ahead of you,
brake
before
you
are on it. Try
not to brake
while
you’re
actually
on
the ice, and
avoid
sudden
steering
maneuvers.
If
you
are
stopped
by
heavy
snow,
you
could
be
in
a
serious
situation. You should
probably
stay
with
your
vehicle
unless
you
know
for
sure
that
you
are
near
help
and
you can hike
through
the snow.
Here
are
some
things
to do to s
u
m
o
n
help
and
keep
yourself
and
your
passengers
safe:
Turn
on
your
hazard
flashers.
Tie
a
red
cloth
to
your
vehicle
to alert
police
that
you’ve
been
