passengers, fellow motorists and roadside workers. AAA recommends the following tips for winter driving:
• Clear all the snow off your vehicle, especially your lights and mirrors.
• Drive with low-beam headlights on.
• Take extra time to complete your trip and pull over and stay the night if driving conditions are severe.
• Allow sufficient room to pass snowplows, stay at least 15 car lengths (200 feet) behind them and only pass if absolutely necessary and only to their extreme left.
• Watch bridge surfaces, which will freeze before road surfaces in cold weather.
• If you get stuck in snow, turn wheels straight and accelerate slowly. If necessary, add
sand or cat litter under the tires to help with traction. If you start to lose traction,
ease off the accelerator and then resume when it feels like traction has returned. • Look further ahead when driving in the winter to have extra time to react to
different problems that may crop off.
• Don’t use cruise control on snow, ice or wet roads as it may cause hydro-planing. • When braking, apply firm, constant pressure to the pedal if you have anti-lock
brakes; do not attempt to pump the pedal as this will make the situation worse. • Remember, four-wheel drive will help you accelerate better from a stop, and anti-lock brakes will help you stop straighter, but neither of these will make
your vehicle stop sooner.
• Remember, when changing lanes in front of trucks leave extra space because
they can’t stop as quickly as a passenger vehicle can.
Use the resources of AAA to be ready for the season. With preparation and knowledge, winter travel can be as enjoyable as the crisp air. Visit AAA.com for safe driving tips all year.
