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 difficult, and you will need
longer braking distance.
Wet and hard-packed snow or ice offers the worst
tire traction. It is very easy to lose control. You will
have difficulty accelerating. If you do get moving,
you may have poor steering and difficult 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.
WARNING
Drinking then driving or plowing is very
dangerous. Your reflexes, perceptions,
attentiveness, and judgment 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.
