    Stopping takes longer. Drive slower; leave more space to stop.

    You’d think it’s common sense, but a huge number of the accidents in winter are because people drive like idiots.

      Conditions change rapidly too. A cloud can cause everything to ice over instantly. You might have stopped fine every other time, but it takes a single unexpected slide to change lives forever.
