' r n Tips on safe winter driving Winter driving is a tricky and dangerous business. Better roads, better cars and better tires won't take the place of careful driving practices. To keep your experience with winter driving from becoming a crash-course, here are a few driving tips from the Oregon Department of Transportation: Time: Give yourself plenty of extra time for getting to your destination. Speed limits are for perfect, dry conditions. On winter's icy roadways, half the speed limit may be suicide. Vision: Take the time to clear all windows of snow, ice or fog before starting out. Also clear any snow off the hood - it comes loose when driving. Lights: Even though you can see, drive with low-beam head lights in snow, fog or just winter murk. Keep all lenses free of dirt by wiping them periodically. Dirty headlights can cut visibility by 50 percent or more. Don't forget the direc tional lights, taillights and rotat ing lights. Tires: Be sure your tires have adequate tread for traction in snow and to reduce the risk of hydroplaning in rain or puddles on the road. You may hear that putting extra weight in the trunk or truck bed gives better traction. Traction might be helped a little but at the expense of steering control and longer stopping distance. Likewise, you may hear that reducing tire pressure is another way of increasing traction. Re ducing air pressure will not give you more traction and your tires could become seriously under inflated, affecting steering. Keep in mind that every rime the outside temperature drops 10 degrees; the tire air pressure goes down about one pound per square inch. Remember too that under inflated tires are the ma jor cause of tire failure. Ice: At 30 degrees ice is twice as slippery as it is at 0 degrees. A good defensive driving technique is to try to avoid animals if pos sible; however, do not swerve into the on coming lane and risk a head-on collision. It also forms first and lasts longer on bridges and in the shade. If you hit an unexpected patch, don't try to brake, accel erate or downshift. Let up on your accelerator and let your vehicle "roll" through the slip pery area. Braking: Your owner's manual will usually recommend the braking technique most ef fective for your car. For front and rear wheel drive vehicles with disc or drum brakes the National Safety council recom mends the following procedure: Squeeze your brakes with t slow, steady pressure until just before they lock. When you feel them start to lock, case off un til your wheels are rolling; then squeeze again. Following Distance: Maintain at least three times the normal following distance on snow or ice. If you are being followed too closely, maintain an extra distance behind the vehicle ahead so that you can slow down or brake gradually. Be prepared to adjust speed and or stop to avoid colliding with the vehicle in front of you. Plan ahead when approach ing intersections to that braking can be done smoothly. Stay on the Beaten Path: Stay in line when traveling to or from a snow zone. Don't blaze your own trail, especially going down hill. You'll only manage to cre ate a worse situation. You'll even clog the only open space emer gency snow vehicles can travel. Safety Belts and Child Safety Scats: In addition to keeping you in the vehicle during a collision, they will also keep you and your child from being thrown around inside your vehicle should you go into a skid or hit an object. Use safety beltsscat at all times - it's the law. Deer: Many parts of Oregon are the winter homos of deer herds. In addition, bad weather can cause deer to be on the move. Be particularly alert when traveling in known areas of deer migration. When you see deer or other animals ahead, slow down and be prepared to stop until you are safely past them. A good defensive driving technique is to try to avoid ani mals if possible, however, do not swerve into the on-coming lane and risk a head-on collision, or run off the road and risk hit ting another object.
