Here are a few tips from State Farm Insurance to ensure that you and your family are safe when the storms hit this holiday season.
- Bridges and overpasses freeze first, so always slow down and avoid sudden changes in speed or direction.
- Keep windows clear.
- Keep your speed steady and slow -- but not so slow that your car gets stuck in deeper snow.
- Use your brakes cautiously. Abrupt braking can cause brake lock-up and cause you to lose steering control.
- To make Antilock Brakes work correctly, apply constant, firm pressure to the pedal. During an emergency stop, push the brake pedal all the way to the floor, if necessary, even in wet or icy conditions.
- If you get stuck in snow, straighten the wheels and accelerate slowly. Avoid spinning the tires. Use sand or cinders under the drive wheels.
