On a snow-covered or frozen road
(1) When driving on a snow–covered or frozen road, it is recommended that you
use snow tyres or tyre chains. Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Tyre chains” sections.
(2) Avoid high–speed operation, sudden acceleration, abrupt brake application and
sharp cornering.
(3) Depressing the brake pedal during travel on such a road may
cause tyre slippage and skidding. When traction between the tyres and the road is
reduced, the wheels may skid, and the vehicle cannot readily be brought to a stop
by conventional braking techniques. Braking will differ, depending upon whether
you have anti–lock brakes (ABS). If you do have ABS, brake by pressing the brake
pedal hard, and keeping it pressed. If you do not have ABS, pump the brake pedal
with short rapid jabs, each time fully applying and fully releasing for greatest
effect.
(4) Allow extra distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front
of you, and avoid sudden braking.
