Winter driving is dangerous because it's so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents

take place so easily. Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of the hill. Ice might be hiding beneath the

melting snow, waiting to send you off the road. The car coming towards you may suddenly slide across the

road.

Rule Number One for driving in icy roads is to drive smoothly. Uneven movements can make a car

suddenly very difficult to control. So every time you turn the wheel, touch the brakes or increase your speed,

you must be as gentle and as slow as possible. Imagine you are driving with a cup of hot coffee on the seat

next to you. Drive so that you wouldn’t spill it.

Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the further down

the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to stop by gently braking. Remember that you may be

driving more quickly than you think. In general, allow double your normal stopping distance when the road is

wet, three times this distance in snow, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all times and

you will avoid trouble.
