Winter Driving Safety Tips:
Brake gently, and when driving on slippery surfaces like ice or snow, use light pressure on the accelerator pedal when starting. If your wheels start to spin, le up and the accelerator until traction returns. Remember that bridges and overpasses can freeze before the roads do.
