Explanation
If you repeatedly brake hard while traveling on ice or snow, you may cause the front wheels to lock, leading to a loss of control and causing the rear tires to skid. If this happens, take your foot off the gas pedal, avoid using your brakes, and steer in the direction of the skid. To prevent this, it’s best to drive at a safe, controlled speed so that hard braking is less likely to be necessary.
