When driving in winter, you should NOT:
|
Use snow tires on all four wheels of your vehicle.
|
|
|
Use cruise control.
|
|
|
Check your vehicle's antifreeze level and windshield washer fluid.
|
|
|
Drive on interstate roads.
|
Explanation
Using cruise control can be dangerous in winter conditions because it can cause wheel-spin and loss of control on slippery roads. Snow, ice, slush, and rain increase the risk of wheel-spin, and the only way to regain control is to reduce power. However, cruise control will continue to apply power, exacerbating the situation and making it harder to regain control of the vehicle.
