Explanation
When driving on wet, icy, or snowy roads, your tires are more likely to skid if you travel too fast, brake too hard, or make sharp turns. To prevent skids, brake early, carefully, and gently, allowing your wheels to keep turning. If you feel your wheels begin to lock, decrease the pressure on the brake pedal.
