V * Winter driving won't put you on the skids if you know how to adapt your driving skills to bad weather, says the National Safety Council. The key to coping with slippery ro^d conditions, it says, is not just a matter of reason, but of an­ ticipation so you don't lose control in the first place. ' The Council offers tips on the following items to help you deal with specific winter driving hazards: ...Scrape or clean all windows clear before you travel. Clear the whole window; don't settle for just a peephole. ...A good heater-defrosteF system and effective windshield wipers will help keep the win­ dows clear. If the wiper blades cause streaking, replace them immediately. Regularly check to make certain there is plenty of winter (or anti-freeze) wind­ shield washer fluid in the fluid reservoir. ...Before you travel, remove snow from your car's roof and hood. Otherwise, it might blow on your windshield or back window and block your vision. Additionally, clean off headlights and directional signals so you can see and be seen clearly. ...Fog, sleet and snow can drastically reduce your visibility. If you drive in these adverse conditions, reduce your speed and keep your headlights on low beam. High beam can cause glare and affect your ability to see. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk of your car. It should, contain a flashlight, scraper with a brush on one end, tow chain or strap, jumper cables, tire chains, shovel, and a bag of rock salt and sand or cat litter to give you extra traction when you're in a slippery situation. You need to generate as much cornering traction as possible when you start to skid. The best way to do this is to layoff the accelerator and avoid using the brakes. < No mater how careful you drive, there may be times when you hit a spot of ice or wet pavement and start to skid- The * important technique is to try to catch the skid before it reaches the point where you'll lose control despite any action you . might take. Here's a tip: Keep the front of your car pointed in the direction you want jo go.If you want the * car to go" right, for example, turn right. Hold the steering wheel firmly but don't make large turns. Rather, use a light touch to correct the swerve. Usually just a few minor ad­ justments will do the trick., Once again, the important procedure is to react as soon as the car begins to skid. When the road is slick, allow more time td stop, turn or make any other road maneuver.'. Under normal driving con­ ditions, experts recommend that you allow at least two seconds of travel time between you and the vehicle ahead. In snow or ice, however, you should allow a four or five second interval for an adequate cushion. When you stop or slow down, squeeze your brakes with a slow, steady pressure until just before they lock. When you feel them start to lock, ease off until your wheels are rolling easily again ; then squeeze again. If you slam on the brakes, you'll probably lose control of the vehicle and end up in a spin.
