Allow greater following distance on any
slippery road.
Watch for slippery spots. The road might be fine
until you hit a spot that’s covered with ice. On an
otherwise clear road, ice patches may appear in
shaded areas where the sun can’t reach: around
clumps of trees, behind buildings or under bridges.

of
a curve or
an
overpass may
remain icy when the surrounding roads are clear. If
you see a patch
of
ice ahead of you, brake before you
are on it.

to
brake while you’re actually on
the ice, and avoid sudden steering maneuvers.

passengers safe:

on
your hazard flashers.
