Explanation
Ice and packed snow on the road can cause your vehicle to skid. To prevent skidding on slippery surfaces, you should drive slowly, slow down as you approach curves and intersections, and avoid fast turns and quick stops. In the event that your vehicle begins to skid, to regain control of your vehicle as quickly as possible you should release the accelerator or brake pedal (whichever is being applied) and steer in the direction of the skid. Apply the brakes only after rolling traction has been reestablished.
