When driving on packed snow you should:
|
Slow to a crawl.
|
|
|
Reduce your speed by about 10 MPH.
|
|
|
Cut your speed in half.
|
Explanation
Driving on packed snow significantly reduces traction, making it more challenging to control the vehicle. When driving on packed snow, braking distances increase, and sudden maneuvers can lead to loss of control. Cutting your speed in half allows for better maneuverability and gives you more time to react to any potential hazards on the road.
