Braking on a wet or an icy road is nothing like braking on a dry road. The braking distance – the distance your vehicle will travel from the point when its brakes are fully applied to when it comes to a complete stop, is much higher on wet and icy roads. Although most drivers are aware of that fact, many tend not to properly adjust their driving to winter conditions until it’s too late. The results might be fatal.
During winter, you must slow down, keep more distance, brake earlier and brake more smoothly. But how much slower do you need to drive in the winter? When should you start braking when it’s raining? What might happen if you brake too late on an icy road? Gaining experience and practicing various winter situations is the best way to get the right feeling and develop proper winter driving skills.
