Tips on driving safety in a variety of road conditions.

2. Learn driving skills for winter conditions.

1. Allow extra time to reach your destination.
2. Double the safe driving distance, extra space between you and the car in front of you will give you ample time to come to a stop.
3. Keep your car clean. Rinsing regularly with clean water will reduce corrosion caused by chemicals, salt and gravel used for de-icing roads.
4. Beware of bridges and overpasses. Ice tends to form more rapidly on these surfaces, so adjust your driving accordingly.
5. See and be seen. Take care of visibility by keeping your lights on and the windshield clean.
6. Know what to do if you get stuck on ice or in snow. Do not spin your wheels. Remove the snow around the tires and gently rock your car back and forth.
7. Learn how to deal with understeer and oversteer (for more information, look at our 'Winter driving tips').
