1. Prepare your car for winter weather. This includes installing winter tires, topping up your windshield wiper fluid, and making sure your battery is in good condition.
2. Drive slowly and smoothly. Avoid sudden acceleration, braking, and turns.
3. Increase your following distance. Leave plenty of room between your car and the vehicle ahead of you.
4. Use low gear when starting from a stop. This will help you to avoid spinning your wheels.
5. Be careful when braking. Brake gently and gradually; avoid slamming on the brakes.
6. If you start to skid, don't panic. Steer in the direction you want to go and ease off the accelerator.
7. Avoid driving in deep snow. If you must drive in deep snow, use 4WD or snow chains if you have them.
8. Be aware of the weather conditions. If the weather conditions are too severe, stay home if possible.
9. If you get stuck in snow stay calm and call for help. Don't try to get out of the snow on your own, as you may get injured or stranded.
