how to drive in snow

Drive slowly, maintain extra following distance, and use smooth, gentle inputs for all vehicle controls. Avoid sudden braking or acceleration to maintain traction on slippery surfaces.

Ensure full visibility. Clear all snow and ice from your windows, roof, lights, and mirrors before setting off. This ensures you can see clearly and prevents snow from flying off onto other drivers.
Use engine braking. Use low gears and engine braking to help slow the vehicle, especially on hills. This reduces the need for heavy braking, which can cause wheels to lock and lead to skidding.
Correcting a skid. If your vehicle begins to skid, stay calm, ease off the accelerator, and steer gently in the direction you want to go. Avoid slamming on the brakes, as this can worsen the loss of control.
If you get stuck. If you become stranded, stay with your vehicle to remain warm and visible. Ensure the exhaust pipe is clear of snow to prevent carbon monoxide from entering the cabin.
