\nReduce speed and allow extra time to reach destinations.
\nIncrease the following distance between you and other vehicles.
\nIf you start to slide, ease off the gas pedal or brakes and steer into the direction of skid.
\nStay back at least 200 feet from vehicles treating roadways and move over for emergency vehicles.
\nBe patient. Your trip time could increase when adverse weather conditions exist.
\nRemain in your vehicle. If stranded, please call 911 to alert emergency services.
