If you happen to be caught on some icy spots while driving, be sure to reduce your speed, and my Dad always said to be sure to turn into the slide. Also, Icy Road Safety encourages you to stay off icy roads. Also, they remind you to wear your seat belt, pay attention to the weather, go easy on the breaks, turn into a slide, avoid hills, and more.”
