Braving Blizzards
Your visibility may be limited as you navigate the slippery roads. Freezing temperatures, snow and ice force you to proceed at a snail’s pace. If you become impatient, keep in mind all the safety measures we use to take care of our patients—those lovely non-skid socks and the slow, measured assistance we provide each step of the way. Remaining slow and steady will keep you from falling into harm’s way.
Recommendations:
DO drive slowly and give yourself extra time and distance for braking.
DO brake gently, and ease off if your wheels begin to lock up.
DO keep your vehicle in low gear to improve traction.
Contraindications:
DON’T use cruise control, especially on icy roads.
