Steer gently on curves and in slippery conditions.
Hard braking, quick acceleration and abrupt gear
changes can cause you to skid. Avoid using cruise
control on wet, snowy or icy pavement – it reduces
your reaction time and vehicle control. If you do skid,
release your brakes and steer in the direction you
want to go. Be careful not to over steer.
Share the road and watch for snowplows
Avoid crowding into the lane of on-coming traffic –
this can result in head-on collisions.
Drive slowly near working snowplows and don’t
pass them – it’s dangerous. Be patient and give
them room. They will pull off once they reach the
end of their route.
Obey road closures
Do not drive on closed roads – it’s against the law.
Always obey emergency closure signs and follow the
directions of police officers. Remember – the roads
are closed for your safety!
