Give me 3 key safety reminders for driving in icy conditions
Here are the top 3 critical safety precautions and driving guidelines for operating a vehicle in icy road conditions:
1. Reduce Speed: Driving at reduced speeds is the best precautionary measure against any misfortune while driving on slippery roads. Posted speed limits are for ideal travel conditions. Adjust your speed according to the road conditions. 2. Increase Following Distance: Lengthen the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Stopping distance on an icy road is double that of stopping on a dry one. 3. Avoid Sudden Movements: Steer with smooth and precise movements. Changing lanes too quickly and jerky steering while braking or accelerating can cause skidding. [1] [2] [1] [3]
Important Safety Note:
Always verify safety information with your organization's specific guidelines and local regulations.
