Begin stopping before you need to.Allow more distance to the guy ahead of you.Drive slower.Even though your car may get up to speed fast, it will take longer to slow down!!!Don't pump anti-lock brakes.Careful on overpasses.Keep your windshield washer bottle full.If you aren't going to stop in time think about rubbing up on a curb or snowbank as a last resort. (to entering busy intersection or rear ending someone)Keep headlights on, all the time.Don't try to change lanes if there are deep ruts that you are stuck in, until you find a good place to do so.If everyone is driving slower than you, you are going too fast.Don't mash the gas to accelerate.Don't assume the guy behind you can stop as fast as you.Don't assume everyone will stop for the intersection.If you start to lose control, don't make any sharp maneuvers... you will only make it worse.Be slow and deliberate with the steering wheel.

its super easy. dont be stupid, that is all you have to do. the ice is usuallu only their for one day untill the plows clear it all anyway. you dont even have to reduce your speed, just slow down while turning and start slowing down early when stopping

No cruise control.Stay 2x's as far from other vehicles as you did in summer.Reduce speedMake sure tires and brakes are in good working order.Be smart!!!!!Don't accelorate thru turnsBest advice.....Wait for some snow and ice...go to an empty parking lot and practice driving. Learn how your particular vehicle responds to bad driving conditions, and you will learn how to better control the vehicle.Oh and 2 more things........HANG UP THE CELL PHONE!!!! TURN DOWN THE RADIO!!!!!....Driving in bad weather is hard enough without distractions.Good luck, drive safe!!!!

drive slowly..keep your distance behind other cars.. be light on the gas pedal. if you press on gas and the car doesn't move, be careful not to over pedal it or it may spin out. Keep calm if it does. if you can choose a car make it either front wheel drive or 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive - which would be better.

Go slow when there is snow and ice on the road. Also start slowing down early, and when you accelerate, don't romp on the gas. Make sure you have plenty of space before you cut into traffic. I can't really explain how to get out of a slide. Really the best thing to do there is not to stomp on the brakes, and definetly don't start panicing. Sometimes countersteering can help but you have to be careful cause you don't know where you will end up if you get traction again.The main points however are go slow, take your time doing anything, and when stopping start early.

take a defencive driving course, when you feel the car slide or slip away from you on the road, brake lightly(pumping the brake-do not slam on brake) and turn the wheel slightly towards where you want the car to go, turn slowly as the car gains grip and you have control....if the speed limit says 50 and you know there may be ice on the road don't go faster than 35-40( or go with traffic flow that feels comfortable)- bridges, crossings, and tunnels FREEZE faster than other parts of the road... good luck, drive safe
