Of course, traction is reduced when water, snow, ice,
gravel or other material is on the road. For safety, you'li
want to slow down and adjust your driving to these
conditions. It is important to slow down on slippery
surfaces because stopping distance will be longer and
vehicle control more limited.
While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try
your best to avoid sudden steering, acceleration
or braking (including engine braking by shifting to a
lower gear). Any sudden changes could cause the tires
to slide. You may not realize the surface is slippery
until your vehicle is skidding. Learn to recognize warning
clues
-
such as enough water, ice or packed snow on
the road to make a "mirrored surface"
-
and slow down
when you have any doubt.
