Of course, traction is reduced when water, snow,
ice, gravel, or other material is on the road.
For safety, you will 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 reducing vehicle speed 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.

Remember: Any Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
helps avoid only the braking skid.

Driving at Night

Night driving is more dangerous than day driving.
One reason is that some drivers are likely to
be impaired — by alcohol or drugs, with night
vision problems, or by fatigue.

Here are some tips on night driving.

Drive defensively.

Do not drink and drive.

Adjust the inside rearview mirror to reduce the
glare from headlamps behind you.

Since you cannot see as well, you may need
to slow down and keep more space between
you and other vehicles.

Slow down, especially on higher speed roads.
Your vehicle’s headlamps can light up only so
much road ahead.

In remote areas, watch for animals.

If you are tired, pull off the road in a safe
place and rest.
