Driving In Snow/Ice

Driving in Snow/Ice

Rather than whining that people can’t drive in snow because it took me 3 and a half hours to get home (it snowed), let me teach you a thing about driving in snow and ice.

The lower your gear, the more you’re going to skid. Lower gears mean that the wheels spin more. You need to get into third as soon as possible, even if you’re not really going anywhere. Try to pull away in second gear, even if you’re going up a hill.

If you’re skidding, try steering from side to side to give the tyres new ground to catch.

When you meet a hill, wait for it to be clear before you attempt it - it’s important that you don’t stop partway up the hill, or you won’t be able to get going again.

When going downhill, use a low gear and avoid braking. Braking will just lock up your steering if you start to skid. If you have to brake, do so gently and slowly.

If you take one thing away from this:

DON’T STOP.

If you start to skid, it’s natural to want to hit the brakes, but you might not be able to get going again. Try to steer into the skid - slow down (by taking your foot off the accelerator) and do not brake or stop.
