Title: Tips for Driving in Snow

The following advice for driving in snowy conditions is offered by AAA:

 **Speed up and slow down slowly and cautiously. Take extra time to stop at traffic lights and stop signs. Don’t try to     move in a hurry.

 **Slow down. Remember everything takes longer when traveling on snow covered roads. Stopping, turning, and accelerating reaction times are decreased on  snow covered area

 **Increase the distance between you and other vehicles. This will give you a longer reaction time.

 **Be aware of your brakes on your vehicle.

 **If you can avoid having to stop completely will be best to avoid skidding and sliding.

 **Don’t apply extra gas to maneuver uphill. Your wheels will only start spinning. Never stop while accelerating up a hill. Once you reach the top of a hill proceed cautiously and slowly down to avoid sliding.

 **If it is not necessary to leave your home and travel it is best to stay home during these conditions.
