Winter Driving Safety Tip #5: Stay calm and give yourself extra travel time.

When roads are snowy or icy it’s much harder to slow down quickly, even impossible in certain conditions. Slamming on the brakes or turning sharply can lead to skidding and loss of control.

Rather than put yourself in a situation where you feel rushed or panicked, give yourself plenty of extra travel time. The extra time allows you to drive slower (even under the speed limit) and safer, and it can go a long way towards making you calmer, and more relaxed behind the wheel.
