Do you live in an area where the roads ice? Toyota of Orlando's got your back with these tips on how to handle icy roads.

1. How to:
Handle Icy
Roads When
Driving
Don't slam on the gas or brakes
If you slam on the brakes or make any sudden movements
when driving on an icy road, you're asking to get into an
accident. It's hard for your tires to gain traction, and it'll
actually spin instead.
Drive slower than usual
Even if you're driving under the speed limit, drive slower
than usual. It'll give you more reaction time for slick
surfaces and an vehicles that lose control.
If possible, avoid hills
Slick surfaces combined with a steep grade is a recipe for
disaster. You can possibly slide back down the hill while
you're trying to gain traction.
Remember bridges ice before the road
Since bridges have cold air flowing under and above them,
they ice before roads. With this in mind, you're now more
prepared to drive through slick conditions in the event
your tires slide out.
Don't slam on the gas or brakes
Sudden movements like that don't help your tires gain
traction. In fact, you may even cause your vehicle to spin.
