Safe Snow Driving Tips 

• Do not drive through drifted snow or snow banks. 

• Don’t use cruise control when driving on snow or ice.  

• Leave extra distance between you and other vehicles on the road.  

Stuck in Snowdrift or Ice? 

• Your tires need traction. Sprinkle sand or salt underneath your tires to help them stick. The rubber underside of your floor mats can also help your tires gain traction. 

• Use a low gear and slowly accelerate to allow tires to gain traction.  

•  If you are stuck in your car for an extended period of time, make sure the exhaust pipe is clear so carbon monoxide doesn’t slip into your vehicle. 

• Clean the snow off the grille to avoid overheating.   

• Stay inside your vehicle to keep warm while help is on its way.
