These problems are the of less friction. And that is interesting, because usually we are try I ing result to reduce friction all we can. We use ball and roller bearings to overcome friction. We smooth and polish parts to reduce fric tion. We put oil in our cars to avoid friction. But we can't get along without friction, just the same. For, after all, we couldn't start a car, we couldn’t stop a car, we couldn’t turn a corner, if it weren’t for friction. The friction between the road and our rub ber tires is what gives us traction. Most of the time we have plenty of traction. But in certain climates every year. Winter comes blowing and blustering down from the North, and the first thing we know he has spread ice and snow over our roads, and our whole traction condition Is changed. But automobiles are pretty well prepared these days to meet any conditions. All we have to do Is to adjust ourselves to these changed circumstances. For Instance, many skillful drivers start their cars In high gear on very slippery, icy streets. Ordinarily this would be a bad thing to do. But when our tires have to start us going on slippery ice or snow, starting In second or “high" is harmless and it does help to avoid spinning wheels, side slipping and difficulty In getting under way. If you haven’t tried this after stopping at intersections, you may be sur prised to find out how much more quickly you get started again. Only remember to engage the clutch very slowly. This business of starting in slippery weather can be quite a problem. But stopping is even more so. However, most good drivers agree on one method that they find quite satisfactory. First of all they begin to slow their cars down at quite a distance from where they want to stop. They press the brake lightly at first and release it almost at once. Then they press again and release quickly. By a scries of brief, moderate brake actions, instead of one continuous pressure, they gradually reduce speed and can usually stop without skidding. Many of the best drivers always make it a point not to disengage the clutch as soon as they apply their brakes, but to wait until the car has almost stopped. While this is their general practice, they say it is especially important on slippery roads, as they claim it reduces the chances of skidding. But if we use this method there is one thing we must look out for. We have to remember that on a slippery sur face it is very easy to stall our engine by using our brakes when the clutch is still engaged. Outside of starting and stopping, most winter skid ding is at turns and curves. Many good drivers tell us that they treat every slippery curve or turn as though it were going to be a stop. In other words, they ap- P’-oach curves using the very same system of short, moderate brake actions. The result is that when they reach the curve they are going so slowly that they can actually give the engine a little gas and put some power in the wheels. With power turning the wheels, we are not so likely to skid. :r7“=7==~3 After all, the main thing to do about driving in slippery weather is just what we do about walking in slippery weather. We are all pretty careful about that. The first thing most of us do when we go out on a slippery morning is to put out one foot cautiously and get the feel of the surface J = to see h°w careful we have — to be. The best drivers we -t-i _ know do practically the same ~ thing with their cars. The first thing they do after they get started, is to test the surface. They make sure that there are no cars too near, and then they gently apply the brakes. If they don't skid they resume speed and apply the brakes again—this time a little more firmly. In this way they determine the surface and know the degree of caution they must exercise to be safe. This seems like a very sensible idea. evening.
