Abrupt changes in direction or slamming on the brakes could cause you to lose con- trol of your vehicle. • Remember that bridges and over- passes may be slippery even when other sections of the roadway arc not. • Avoid braking on curves by driving through them at a safe and steady speed. • Take your foot off the brake if your vehicle begins to skid and steer in the direction you want to go. Remember, your vehicle generally goes where you are looking. Be prepared before you start your travel. • Plan your route ahead of time and let someone know where you are going and when you plan to arrive. • Carry a winter survival kit in your vehicle that includes items such as a flashlight, blankets, extra clothing, win- ter boots and non-perishable foods. A candle and matches can generate some heat while waiting for help if you become stranded. • Carry a charged cell phone in cases of emergencies. • Clear all snow and ice completely off windows, side vlcw mirrors, head- lights, taillights and licence plates. • Keep your vehicle's fuel tank full. The extra volume can help with mois- ture problems in your fuel system and it adds extra weight to your vehicle. A topped up gas tank will be an asset if you become stranded. • Make sure you are alert and well rested before you begin your trip. • Buckle Up! Wearing a seatbelt is the most effective way to reduce your risk of injury in a motor vehicle collision. Make it a standard practice to check the weather and travel conditions before heading out. Don't take chances, if the weather is poor, wait it out until the conditions improve.
