Road Safety Reminder for the Week

Skids on Slippery Surfaces

To prevent skidding on slippery surfaces:

  • Slow down as you approach intersections and curves. For sharp curves, slow down as you approach and move through.
  • Avoid fast turns and quick stops.
  • Shift to low gear before going down a steep hill.
  • Avoid areas like wet leaves, oil, or standing water.

If you start to skid, follow these steps:

  1. Slowly remove your foot from the accelerator
  2. Do not use the brakes.
  3. Turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid.
  4. Try to get a wheel on dry pavement.
