• Conclusion
3. Hazards of Winter Driving
• Slick roadway
• Increased chance of skidding
• Increased stopping distance
• Reduced visibility
• Dirt, salt and sand on windshield
• Slower traffic
• Potential for hypothermia if
stranded
4. Typical Mistakes When
Driving in Winter
“Overdriving”:
– Driving too fast
– Not leaving enough space between
vehicles
– Braking too hard
– Making sudden changes of lane
Travel too slow -- The car doesn’t have
enough momentum to be able to push
through heavier snow without getting stuck.
5. Are You Ready for
Winter Driving?
• Be prepared! Before leaving home,
find out about the driving conditions.
• Snow later in day?
• Temp dip below freezing?
Safe drivers know the weather, and their
limits. If the weather is bad remember,
Ice and Snow, Take it Slow, or just
don’t go.
6. Are You Ready for
Winter Driving?
Clear: Remove any snow on your
vehicle’s windows, lights, brake lights
and signals.
• Make sure you can see and be seen.
• Don't forget the hood, roof, and your
head and taillights.
• Leftover ice chunks from the roof or
hood of the vehicle may become
hazardous to yourself and those on
the road around you while driving.
7. • Inspect: Check your vehicle’s tires, wiper
blades, fluids, lights, belts and hoses.
–Battery/ Spark Plugs,
–antifreeze level,
–thermostat,
–heater,
–brakes,
–defroster.
Are You Ready for
Winter Driving?
8. • Time: Leave plenty of time to reach your
destination safely. It’s not worth putting yourself
and others in a dangerous situation just to be on
time.
• Gas Tank: At least half full throughout the
winter.
– Reduce condensation, making your vehicle
easier to start on cold mornings.
• Cell phone: Ensure it is charged and bring it
with you.
– Car charger for the phone good idea
Are You Ready for
Winter Driving?
9. • Rear-wheel drive vehicles,
– Keep a small bag of sand in your trunk
– Creates traction under the tires if you get
stuck.
– Heavy front end and light back end of vehicles
might make the car prone to slide
Are You Ready for
Winter Driving?
10. • Road salt:
– Commonly used during winter can damage
your car's paint.
– Rinsing it off every once in a while
– A good wash and coat of fresh wax will go a
long way in preventing corrosion and keep
your vehicle looking like new.
Are You Ready for
Winter Driving?
12. Winterize your vehicle
• VEHICLE LIGHTS: Front and rear lights are operational,
especially the car's flashing hazard lights.
• CAR FLUIDS :
– Windshield wiper fluid may freeze.
• Instead of toughing it out until spring, exchange the fluid
with one made especially to spray in freezing conditions.
• Carry a spare gallon of washer fluid in your trunk.
13. Winterize your vehicle
• CAR FLUIDS, cont.:
– Motor oil to a lighter weight oil
• Engine a little easier to turn over during cold weather.
– Anti-Freeze
• They sell testers in automotive stores (looks like a rather
large eye dropper)
• This will tell you at what temperature your antifreeze will
freeze;
• drain some coolant from the radiator to increase
percentage of Anti-Freeze if you need to.
14.
15. Winterize your vehicle
• WIPER BLADES: Winter wiper blades cut through
snow and ice instead of using regular ones throughout
the year.
– Spray nozzles of your windshield-washer system.
– Sometimes, they get blocked by wax or debris.
– Use a needle or pin to clear blocked nozzles.
• BELTS AND HOSES:
– Look for signs of wear or cracking,
– Replace any that do not look to be in good
condition.
16. Winterize your vehicle
TIRES: Adequate tread? Properly inflated?
– If worn, replace them.
– Snow tire treads
• provide better traction
• equipped to handle extreme winter driving conditions.
– Underinflation can reduce the gripping action of
tires because the tread will not meet the road
surface as it was designed to do.
• Overinflation has the same effect.
17. Driving safely on icy roads
• Decrease your speed and leave yourself plenty of
room to stop.
– You should allow at least three times more space
than usual between you and the car in front of you.
• Brake gently to avoid skidding.
– If your wheels start to lock up, ease off the brake.
• Turn on your lights
– Increase your visibility to other motorists.
– Keep your lights and windshield clean.
18. Driving safely on icy roads
• Use low gears to keep traction, especially on hills.
• Don't use cruise control or overdrive on icy roads.
• Be especially careful on bridges, overpasses and
infrequently traveled roads, which will freeze first.
– Even at temperatures above freezing, if the
conditions are wet, you might encounter ice in
shady areas or on exposed roadways like bridges.
• Don't assume your vehicle can handle all conditions.
– Even four-wheel and front-wheel drive vehicles can
encounter trouble on winter roads.
19. Driving safely on icy roads
• When driving in winter weather, watch out!
Mother Nature has some tricks up her sleeve in
the winter. Here are some to be on the look out
for:
• First Snow or Ice: Drivers often aren’t prepared for
winter driving and forget to take it slow. Remember to
drive well below the posted speed limit and leave
plenty of room between cars.
• Black Ice: Roads that seem dry may actually be
slippery – and dangerous. Take it slow when
approaching intersections, off-ramps, bridges or
shady areas – all are hot spots for black ice.
Remember, Ice and Snow, Take it Slow.
20. Driving safely on icy roads
• Limited Visibility: Stay attentive and reduce
speed. Know what’s going on around you.
• Four-Wheel Drive: On snow and ice, go
slowly, no matter what type of vehicle you
drive. Even if you have an SUV with four-
wheel drive you may not be able to stop any
faster, or maintain control any better, once
you lose traction. Four-wheel drive may get
you going faster, but it won’t help you stop
sooner.
21. Driving safely on icy roads
• STEERING WHEEL: Move the steering wheel in a
smooth motion, negotiating corners slowly and precisely
without jerky movements.
– Use gentle impulses: accelerate gently, turn slowly,
and brake carefully and early.
– Avoid unexpected quick movements that could put
you in a spin by leaving ample room between you and
the next car.
• ANTI-LOCK BRAKES: If you have anti-lock braking then
consistent, firm pressure will help bring you to a stop, as
the system gently pulses the brakes, helping retain
traction
22. Driving safely on icy roads
PLAN AHEAD/ LOOK AHEAD:
– Look ahead at where you want the car to go and not at the
obstacle or curb that you are trying to avoid and, with luck, the
car will follow your eyes.
– Anticipate turns, stops, and lane changes well before
they occur.
– If the snow falls in the city, leave your car at home.
– If you must venture out, plan your route, avoiding hills,
and overestimate the time it will take you to get there
and then you won't be tempted to put your foot on the
gas.
23. • TRACTION: If traction is poor, drive slowly, keeping a
good distance behind other vehicles and use the
brakes cautiously.
– Downshift gears and use a gentle pumping action on regular
brakes.
• STEER CLEAR OF BIG TRUCKS.
– They are heavier than cars and need considerably
longer stopping distances.
– Their tires also tend to spray snow and rain into
parallel lanes, further hindering your visibility.
Driving safely on icy roads
24. • SEE AND BE SEEN. Always keep your lights on while
driving through rain, snow, and fog.
• FOUR- AND ALL-WHEEL DRIVE:
– Don't get overconfident and rely on its abilities to get you out
of a problem.
– The traction and force created by all four wheels driving
instead of two helps you get going from a stop, but does not
assist your vehicle's braking ability.
– In fact, AWD- and 4WD-equipped vehicles are heavier than
2WD vehicles and require more time and braking power to
come to a stop.
Driving safely on icy roads
25. • Proceed with Caution!
• Speed: The faster you’re going, the longer it
will take to stop. When accelerating on snow
or ice, take it slow to avoid slipping or sliding.
Ice and Snow, Take it Slow.
• Distance: Give yourself space. It takes extra
time and extra distance to bring your car to a
stop on slick and snowy roads. Leave extra
room between you and the vehicle in front of
you.
Driving safely on icy roads
26. • Brake: Brake early, brake slowly, brake correctly and
never slam on the brakes. If you have anti-lock
brakes, press the pedal down firmly and hold it. If you
don’t have anti-lock brakes, gently pump the pedal.
Either way, give yourself plenty of room to stop.
• Control: When driving on ice and snow, do not use
cruise control and avoid abrupt steering maneuvers.
When merging into traffic, take it slow. Sudden
movements can cause your vehicle to slide.
• Vision: Be aware of what’s going on well ahead of
you. Actions by other vehicles will alert you to
problems more quickly, and give you that split-second
of extra time to react safely.

brightly-colored cloth
32. What to do if your tires
begin to slide…
• Steer carefully and avoid overreacting to keep
control of the car.
• Cars with antilock brakes systems (ABS), the
brakes are automatically pumped for you in a
skid situation.
– You should feel the brake pedal pulsating.
• Car without ABS, apply easy pressure in a
pumping motion to the brakes. In the event of an
accident, remain calm, follow these safety tips,
and call for help.
33. If your rear wheels skid...
• Take your foot off the accelerator.
• Steer in the direction you want the front wheels
to go. If your rear wheels are sliding left, steer
left. If they're sliding right, steer right
34. If your rear wheels skid...
• If your rear wheels start sliding the other way as
you recover, ease the steering wheel toward that
side. You might have to steer left and right a few
times to get your vehicle completely under
control.
• If you have standard brakes, pump them gently.
• If you have anti-lock brakes (ABS), do not pump
the brakes. Apply steady pressure to the brakes.
You will feel the brakes pulse -- this is normal.
35. If your front wheels skid...
• Take your foot off the gas and shift to neutral,
but don't try to steer immediately.
• As the wheels skid sideways, they will slow the
vehicle and traction will return. As it does, steer
in the direction you want to go
• Put the transmission in "drive" or release the
clutch, and accelerate gently.
36. If you get stuck...
• Straighten the wheels and accelerate slowly.
– Avoid spinning the tires and digging yourself in deeper.
– Rock the vehicle back and forth, using its weight and momentum to get
unstuck. (Check your owner's manual first -- it can damage the
transmission on some vehicles.)
– Turn your wheels from side to side a few times to push snow out of the
way.
– Use a light touch on the gas, to ease your car out.
– Use a shovel to clear snow away from the wheels and the underside of
the car.
– Pour sand, kitty litter, gravel or salt in the path of the wheels, to help get
traction.
– Shift from forward to reverse, and back again. Each time you're in gear,
give a light touch on the gas until the vehicle gets going.
37. If you get stuck...
• YOU’RE STILL STUCK: If you can't get going, run the
engine only a few minutes at a time to stay warm.
– Periodically crack a window to get fresh air.
– Keep the exhaust pipe clear of snow so harmful
carbon monoxide fumes don't drift back through the
car's interior. Do not spin your wheels. This will only
dig you in deeper.
38. If You Become Stranded...
• To attract attention, light two flares and
place one at each end of the car a safe
distance away. Hang a brightly colored
cloth from your antenna.
• Keep at least one window open slightly.
Heavy snow and ice can seal a car shut.
• Eat some hard candy to keep your mouth
moist.
39. If You Become Stranded...
• CONSERVE BATTERY:
– Try to only run the car for 10 minutes per
hour,
– Run the heater only when the car is running.
– If it is dark, run the dome light only when the
car is running.
• CARBON MONOXIDE RISK:
– Before starting the car, get out and check and
make sure the tailpipe is clear.
– Crack your window a bit when the car is idling.
41. In the Event of an
Accident
• GET TO RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD: Try to
get to the right side of the road as far
away from traffic as possible.
• STAY IN YOUR CAR: Stay in your car
with your seatbelt on. Put the hazard
lights on so others on the road can see
you.
– Do not leave your car unless you know
exactly where you are, how far it is to
possible help, and are certain you will
improve your situation.
42. In the Event of an
Accident
– If you absolutely do need to go out in a
storm, try not to go alone, take
someone else with you. Two people
can usually get a car unstuck, when
one person can’t.
– You may get confused in the storm
and not be able to get back to your
car. Keep moving around, exercise a
bit if need be, this will help you stay
warm.
43. In the Event of an
Accident
• ROAD FLARE: use flare to call attention to your vehicle.
– Tying a bright piece of cloth to the antenna works as
well.
• STAY WARM: To protect yourself from frostbite and
hypothermia use the woolen items and blankets to keep
warm.
– If you do not have enough warm clothes, cover
yourself with road maps, newspapers or even the car
floor mats… anything that may hold the heat in!
– Dress warmly, in several layers. Even though it will be
warm in the car while you are traveling, if you do end
up stuck somewhere, it may get cold very quickly.
– If there is more than one person in the car, huddle
together to stay warm.
44. In the Event of an
Accident
• CELL PHONES:
– Cell phones and can make a call if
they have problems.
– But don’t forget, cell phones don’t
always have signals.
– If you do get in touch with someone to
come help, it still could take several
hours, particularly if the roads are
practically impassible.
46. Staying Safe Around
Snowplows
• Don't pass snow plows and sanding trucks.
– The drivers have limited visibility, and you're likely to
find the road in front of them worse than the road
behind.
• In the winter, snowplow drivers are out on the roads to
keep them clear of snow and ice and keep you safe.
Here’s what you need to know about driving around
snowplows:
• Distance: Give snowplows room to work. The plows
are wide and can cross the centerline or shoulder.
Don’t tailgate and try not to pass. If you must pass,
take extreme caution and beware of the snow cloud.
47. Staying Safe Around
Snowplows
• Speed: Snowplows travel below the
posted speed limit. Be patient. Allow
plenty of time to slow down. Remember,
Ice and Snow, Take it Slow.
• Vision: A snowplow operator’s field of
vision is restricted. You may see them, but
they don’t always see you. Keep your
distance and watch for sudden stops or
turns.

Rear-wheel drive vehicles, you might want to keep a small bag of sand in your trunk to create traction under the tires if you get stuck. The bulk of a vehicle's weight is the engine, in the front of the car. If the car is driven by it's rear wheels instead of its front wheels, the heavy front end and light back end makes the car prone to slide around an ice- or snow-covered road.
Clear off your car each time you go out for maximum visibility. Don't forget the hood, roof, and your head and taillights. Sure it takes a few extra moments, but it's better than dealing with an accident due to poor outward visibility. Also, leftover ice chunks from the roof or hood of the vehicle may become hazardous to yourself and those on the road around you while driving.

Conditions like snowstorm whiteouts, which hamper visibility, and "black ice," a near-invisible layer of ice caused by snow melting and freezing again, often make winter driving unpredictable and dangerous.
