The holidays are over, but the snowy road conditions will be around for many of us for a couple more months.  Start the New Year with a quick refresher on safe driving in bad road conditions.  We\u2019ve compiled a list here of a few tips to stay calm and safe if you must drive in the worst of conditions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Drive slowly<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This will give you more time to react to icy patches and avoid accidents.  If you are fishtailing or sliding it usually means you are going too fast.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Know your brakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Understanding how your car, and brakes specifically, react to ice and snow is imperative to your safety.  Find an empty parking lot to test them out.<\/p>\n

If you are sliding, calmly turn your car wheels in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n

Avoid overcorrecting by not jerking the wheel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Avoid driving in bad conditions if at all possible<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Always wear your seatbelt<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

We hope you find these tips useful and that you stay safe on the roads this winter.
