In:their view the billowy white signals the start of the bs ngerous driving months of the They. urged drivers to their summer driving|" habits in an effort to avoid the hazards which abound on snow covered thoroughfares. As annual Safe-Driving Week ots under way, W. S. Chalmers of the Dominion Automobile As- sociation has detailed a set of time-proven rules which can help motorists in side-stepping winter driving dangers. 1, Start Gently: To overcome tear wheel sloughing in snow, start slowly. Second gear, or even high gear, will frequently get a car moving, when the usual low gear start only spins the wheels. 2. See and Be Seen: Don't drive with a befogged or snow- covered windshield and win- dows. Don't start to roll until you can see around your full circle of visibility. Let others see YOU, by turning on your headlights in the late afternoon, even if it isn't. dark. 3. Get the "Feel'"' of the Road: Check the braking efficiency of the existing road surface with a light test pressure on the brake. If you slide, reduce speed ac- cordingly. 4. Don't ** Tailgate": The gen- erally accepted * 'car length for each 10 mph" -doesn't apply at this time of year It takes from 3 to 12 times the bare road fae] tor to stop your car on ice and snow. Set up your following dis- tance with this in mind, 5. Brake Before Turns: THIS WEEK HAS 365.DAYS An-! ticipate a reduction in speed and let your engine help you brake|' for a turn. A fast, right-hand turn on snow can throw you into an "about-face" skid! 6. "Pump" Brakes When Slowing: Don't risk a dangerous skid od acto brake pees sure w slowing or stopping. pply brake in gentle intermit. tent pressures. 7. Carry Along Some Traction- Makers: Always carry a shovel, some sand, and tire chains (if you don't have snow tires) in your trunk. Try putting the sand in cardboard milk containers for easy spreading under wheels. 8.
