While driving on a surface with reduced traction,

try your best to avoid sudden steering, acceleration, or

braking, including reducing vehicle speed by shifting

to a lower gear. Any sudden changes could cause

the tires to slide. You may not realize the surface

is slippery until the vehicle is skidding. Learn to

recognize warning clues — such as enough water, ice,

or packed snow on the road to make a mirrored

surface — and slow down when you have any doubt.

Remember: Any Antilock Brake System (ABS) helps

avoid only the braking skid.

Driving at Night

Night driving is more dangerous than day driving because

some drivers are likely to be impaired — by alcohol or

drugs, with night vision problems, or by fatigue.

Night driving tips include:

• Drive defensively.

• Do not drink and drive.

• Reduce headlamp glare by adjusting the inside

rearview mirror.

• Slow down and keep more space between you and

other vehicles because headlamps can only light up

so much road ahead.

• Watch for animals.

• When tired, pull off the road.

• Do not wear sunglasses.

• Avoid staring directly into approaching headlamps.

• Keep the windshield and all glass on your vehicle

clean — inside and out.

• Keep your eyes moving, especially during turns

or curves.

No one can see as well at night as in the daytime.

But, as we get older, these differences increase.

A 50-year-old driver might need at least twice as much

light to see the same thing at night as a 20-year-old.
