There is snow on the road. How should you drive?
A)Quickly so that the vehicle does not skid.
B)In first gear and accelerating fully.
C)Slowly, but in the highest gear possible.Correct
When driving on ice or snow we run the risk of the vehicle skidding. If we use a low gear ratio, it will have too much power and the wheels will simply spin on the ice or snow. On the other hand, if we use a high gear ratio, the wheels will not skid as much since there is not too much power.
To move off in snow, use second or third gear to prevent the wheels from spinning. While driving, try to use the highest gear possible, driving very smoothly. Remember that in such situations the braking distance increases considerably, so you must drive with caution and adjust the safety distance accordingly.
