[. . . ] "Wet ice. " for Very cold snow or ice canbe slick and hard to driveon. But wet ice can be even more trouble because may offer the it least tractionof all. You can get "wetice" when it's about freezing(32°F; OOC) and freezing rain begins fall. Try to avoid to driving on wet ice until salt and sand crews can get there. . . . I12 Whatever the condition - smooth ice, packed, blowing or loose snow - drive with caution. If you accelerate too fast, the drive wheels will spin and polishthe surface under the tires even more. Unless you have the anti-lock braking system, you'll wantto brake very gently, too. (If you do have anti-lock, see "Anti-Lock" in the Index. This system improves your vehicle'sability to make a hard stop on a slippery road. ) Whether you have the anti-lock braking system or not, you'll want to begin stopping sooner than you would ondry pavement. Without anti-lock brakes, if you feel your vehicle begin to slide, let up on the brakes a little. Push the brake pedal down steadilyto get the most traction you can. Remember, unless you have anti-lock, if you brake so hard that your wheels stop rolling, you'll just slide. Brake so your wheels always keep rolling and you can still steer. Whatever your braking system, allow greater following distance on any slippery road. Watch for slippery spots. hit a spot that' covered with ice. On an otherwise clear road, ice patches may appear in shaded areas wherethe sun can't reach: around clumpsof trees, behind buildings, or under bridges. Sometimes the surface of a curve or an overpass may remain icy when the surrounding roads are clear. If you see a patch of ice ahead of you, brake before you are onit. Try not to brake while you're actuallyon the ice, and If You're Caught in a Blizzard avoid sudden steering maneuvers. If you are stopped by heavy snow, you could be in a serious situation.
