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.
