3.Gentle on the gas & brake
You must use a delicate touch on the gas and brake pedals on snowy roads. Avoid stomping on the gas pedal when accelerating, as this can cause your wheels to spin. Instead, press the gas pedal gently and evenly to maintain traction.
Similarly, braking should be done smoothly and progressively, as emphasised in a winter driving lesson. Applying sudden or brutal pressure on the brakes can lock up your wheels, leading to a skid.
If your car has antilock brakes (ABS), apply them firmly, with continuous pressure on the brake pedal. This allows the ABS to modulate braking automatically.
