Driving Week — December - 7 — coincides with the start of the winter driving season for mail!, Canadian motorists. There is no substitute for caution in getting through this treacher- ous motororing season accident- free.. Even the best trtction aids have their limitations, the Canada Safety Council establihed in its 7970 and 1971 Winter Tests. In general, the aids are at their". best on slippery surfaces at tem7 peratures near the freezing point but their effectiveness dissipates as the surface temperature ap- proaches zero. "Even in the most favourable conditions, drivers must make allowances for other vehicleS which may not be equipped with these aids, "Philip J. Farmer, Executive Director of the Canada Safety Council warned. "The key ._to safe winter driv- ing is defensive driving based on the " Principle of recognizing the hazards, understanding the cl.e fences and in time" One 'hazard is maintaining control while passing on slippery' roads. It takes a great distance in which to pass safely so drivers are urged to be patient and stay in line. Another big hazard is the rear- end crash. The following car must ensure it can stop in time by maintaining a. much greater fol- lowing distance than necesssary on dry surfaceS. Remember that the vehicle's only Contacts with the road surface the tires, have very little traction on slippery surfaces, To prevent skids when stopping pump the brakes rapidly rather than jamming them. Motorists should have chains available to give the traction in anamnergency. Snow tires provide greatly improved traction on snow „but motorists should.' be aware of the fact thatathey are not effective -onaslippery snrfaces. e Stpds„ .Where legal, provide greater starting traction. And Are a considerable aid . on slipp'e'ry surt'acesi At temperatures near the freeezing point but motorists can't count on :then] when the ice surface drops below zero. So you're stuck' Motorists should have some kind Of shovel available to clear the snow frOm Ft. under tire8,. They should be equip- pad with sand, rockealt or ashes to put under : tires as well as pieces of carpeting to insert in front of the rear tires before rocking the vehicle. Skidding is' another Major hazard. Motorists shonid avoid lApY fSadden steering thentolielrer. Slow down an slippery surfaces.
