Winter Driving Tip: What to do if your front wheels skid.

In winter it is extremely important to practice safe driving and know how to control you vehicle on the icy roads. If you're most accustomed to dry, warm weather, it is especially important to know how to control your vehicle in the event that your wheels skid. If your front wheels begin to skid, follow the directions below.

1. Shift into neutral and take your foot off the gas, but don't try to steer your vehicle immediately.
2. As your vehicle's wheels begin to skid sideways, they will start to slow down the vehicle and some traction should return. As your vehicle's traction gets better, try to steer in the direction you want to go. Then put the transmission in "drive" or release the clutch, and accelerate gently.

Hopefully this should return your vehicle to normal and you can drive to your destination without any further issues.
