Driving a Car in Snow: Essential Tips

When driving in the snow, you need to change your mindset completely, focusing on smoothness and extreme patience. Before you even start the engine, you need to make sure that everything is clear so that you can see clearly. This means clearing snow from the roof, hood, and all lights, not just the windows. This will keep snow from sliding onto your windshield or blinding other drivers. Once you're on the road, the most important thing to do is to increase your following distance to at least eight to ten seconds. This is because tires don't grip frozen surfaces as well and need more time to stop. To keep traction, all physical inputs, like steering and accelerating, should be done with "glass-pedal" gentleness. Heavy braking or sudden movements are the main reasons why you lose control.
