DRIVING TIPS: Ohio.Gov gives the subsequent guidelines for drivers who’ve to exit in the slippery weather:
Speed and Distance – The faster you go, the longer it will take to forestall. Take it sluggish when accelerating on snow or ice to avoid slipping and sliding.
Limited Visibility – Stay attentive and reduce velocity. Know what’s happening around you.
Brake – Brake early, slowly, brake efficiently, and by no means slam at the brakes. If you have anti-lock brakes, press the pedal firmly and hold it. If you don’t have anti-lock brakes, lightly pump the pedal. Either manner, provide yourself plenty of room to prevent.
Control – Do not use cruise management to avoid abrupt steerage maneuvers when driving on ice and snow. When merging into traffic, take it gradually. Sudden moves can cause your automobile to slip.
