Driving on icy snow covered roads tips
Sudden braking may trigger a skid. Lightly tap the brake and release to stop gradually. Drive slowly with ample room. On 25 mph ice you need nearly a football field to stop. If skidding, release the brake and steer into the skid. Keep the wheel straight as you recover. Stay a hundred yards behind the car ahead. Shift before hill starts, avoid low gear to prevent wheel spin.
