You've been following the tail lights of the car in front for the past half-hour, us- ing them as a beacon in the blow- ing snow. You switch your gaze to the rear-view mirror for a mo- ment too long. Your tires hit a patch of black ice; you brake and start to skid toward a snow bank. It's a distressingly typical winter scene, but the majority of Canadians, all of whom consider themselves good drivers, don't SS Joh ][ey.\E ela hy-V Noh gdo]-]-] JACK MONSMA ELECTRIC Industrial - Commercial - Residential R.R.1, PORT PERRY 885-2917 Phone 986-4377 All work inspected and guaranteed.

Skids usually end in disaster because drivers don't react fast enough and when they finally do, they choose the wrong action at the wrong time. Your safe choise in this case is to release the brake, rather than stomp on it; take your foot off the accelerator; and shift into neutral - fast - to stop the drive of the wheels against the brakes. Then, gently turn the steering wheel toward the direction you want the car to go. If the car has already started to spin around and you've lost con- trol, don't yank the steering wheel back. In this instance, your safe choice is to hit the brake pedal - but do it smoothly and gently. This will lock all four wheels and keep the car travelling in a straight line. Keep maximum pressure on the pedal until the car has come to a complete stop. Do not pump the brake pedal! It will extend your stopping distance. When driving in icy conditions, normal braking should result in a fairly controlled stop when you're not in a skid. Press down on the brake pedal gently but with max- imum pressure. If the wheels start to lock and you're not in a skid, release the brake pedal slightly and re-apply gently. Again, don't pump your brakes. Steering and braking at the same time are virtually impossi- ble on a slippery road, so if you see it's best to turn the car, release the brake pedal. To get your car moving again on a slippery surface, make sure the front wheels are straight; put the car in drive or low gear and push down gently on the gas pedal until the car just starts to move, "If you accelerate too quickly the wheels will spin. When this hap- pens, ease up on the gas pedal and start again, gently. If your tires still spin, rock the car back and forth lightly by moving the gears from forward to reverse and back again several times, beginning with reverse.
