  • Accelerate and decelerate slowly. Remember: It takes longer to slow down on icy roads.
  • Turn the steering wheel in the direction your wheels are going if you start to skid. Do not hit brakes or gas.
  • Increase following distance.
  • Use the ball of your foot to apply firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal.
  • Don't stop if you can help it. Slow down enough to stay moving until a traffic light changes.
  • Don't accelerate or stop going uphill. Try to get a little inertia going on a flat surface before you reach a hill and let inertia carry you to the top. At the crest of the hill, reduce your speed. Proceed as slowly as possible.
