Driving on Slippery Surfaces
When driving on slippery surfaces such as wet trails, loose gravel, sand
Or ice, be alert for the possibility of skidding and sliding.
Skidding or sliding can cause loss of control or overturn, especially if
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.
