Speed limits are for dry conditions. Keep in mind that it can take about three times as long to stop on snow and ice than it does on dry pavement. Keep at least three times normal distance between you and the car in front.
- Be extra cautious in the danger zones: intersections, lane changes, turns, stops.
- In snow, tires barely grab the road, so accelerate, turn and stop gently.
- Accelerate and brake on straight-aways where possible, gently in either case.
- If ice and bare patches alternate, brake in the bare spots and coast over the ice. Apply that same rationale to bridges, which freeze before roadways, and try to reach “bridge speed” before you get there.
- Use your lights on low beam and if you can’t see the edge of the road, use roadside reflectors to guide you.
- When descending a hill, your maximum safe speed should be at the crest.
- Four-wheel-drive owners: Even though your system is great for moving around in the snow, it doesn’t help you slow down! Word to the wise: slow down!
- A word about snowplow drivers. They’re up when you’re asleep, work in conditions you avoid, and in some places, risk avalanches in order to clear your way to the slopes. So be kind, give the plow plenty of room, and keep your beams low. Above all, be like tortoise and practice patience.
