Driving
on
Slippery
Surfaces
When
driving
on
slippery
surfaces
such
as
wet
trails,
loose
gravel,
sand
or
ice,
be
aware
of
the
possibility
of
skidding
and
sliding.
Skidding
or
sliding
can
cause
loss
of
control
or
overturn,
especially
if
the
tires
regain
traction
unexpectedly.
When
operating
on
slippery
surfaces
such
as
ice
or
loose
gravel
slow
down
and
use
extra
caution
to
help
prevent
skidding
or
sliding.
Always
use
extra
caution
when
operating
on
sand
or
on
rough,
slippery
or
loose
terrain.
Do
not
operate
on
excessively
rough,
slippery
or
loose
terrain.
Follow
these
precautions
when
driving
in
slippery
conditions:
1.
Slow
down
before
entering
slippery
areas.
2.
Be
alert,
watch
the
path
ahead
and
avoid
quick
turns,
which
can
cause
skids.
3.
Correct
a
skid
by
turning
the
steering
wheel
in
the
direction
of
the
skid.
Never
apply
the
brakes
during
a
skid.
