Remember, unless you have anti-lock, if you brake so
hard that your wheels stop rolling, you'll just slide.
Brake so your wheels always keep rolling and you can
still steer.
Whatever your braking system, allow greater
following distance on any slippery road.
Watch for slippery spots. The road might be fine
until you hit a spot that's covered with ice. On an
otherwise clear road, ice patches may appear
in shaded areas where the sun can't reach:
around clumps of trees, behind buildings or under
bridges. Sometimes the surface of a curve or
an overpass may remain icy when the surrounding
roads are clear. If you see
a
patch of ice ahead
of you, brake before you are on it. Try not to brake
while you're actually on the ice, and avoid sudden
steering maneuvers.
