If your vehicle starts

slide, ease your foot off

the

accelerator pedal and quickly steer the way you want the

vehicle to

go.

If you start steering quickly enough, your

vehicle may straighten out. Always be ready for a

second skid

occurs.

Of course, traction is reduced when water, snow, ice,

gravel, or other material is

the road. For safety, you’ll

want to slow down and adjust your driving to these

conditions. It is important

slow

down on slippery

surfaces because stopping distance will be longer and

vehicle control more limited.

While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try

your best

avoid sudden steering, acceleration,

braking (including engine braking by shifting to a lower

gear). Any sudden changes could cause the tires to slide.

You may not realize the surface is slippery

until

your

vehicle is skidding. Learn

recognize warning clues

such as enough water, ice or packed snow on the road to

make a “mirrored surface’’

and slow down when you

have any doubt.

Remember: Any anti-lock braking system

(ABS)

helps

avoid only the braking skid.

Driving

Night

Night driving is more dangerous than day driving. One

reason is that some drivers are likely to be impaired

alcohol or drugs, with night vision problems, or by fatigue.

Here are some

tips

on night driving.

Drive defensively.

Don’t drink and drive.
