OPERATING YOUR SNOWPLOW
DRIVING AND PLOWING ON SNOW
AND ICE
Refer to vehicle owner's manual instructions for
driving in snow and ice conditions. Remember
when you drive on snow or ice, your wheels will
not get good traction. You cannot accelerate as
quickly, turning is more dif
fi
cult and you will need
longer braking distance.
CAUTION
Drinking then driving or plowing is very
dangerous. Your re
fl
exes, perceptions,
attentiveness and judgement can be
affected by even a small amount of alcohol.
You can have a serious or even fatal
collision if you drive after drinking. Please,
do not drink and then drive or plow.
Wet and hard packed snow or ice offers the worst
tire traction. It is very easy to lose control. You will
have dif
fi
culty accelerating. If you do get moving,
you may have poor steering and dif
fi
cult braking
which can cause you to slide out of control.
Here are some tips for driving in these conditions:
• Drive defensively.
• Do not drink, then drive or plow snow.
• Plow or drive only when you have good
visibility for operating a vehicle.
• If you cannot see well due to snow or icy
conditions, you will need to slow down and
keep more space between you and other
vehicles.
• Slow down, especially on higher speed roads.
Your headlamps can light up only so much
road ahead.
