You can do it myself, but often make many mistakes!

Be careful - black ice!
Be very careful when winter day is hot and cold at night (in Calgary as it often happens in winter). On the road a "black ice" which can be mistaken for a good way! Be careful!
I got the question: how to drive a car in winter?
Snowfall: eight rules of the road
At the snow-covered road adhesion to road crashes, the car is not so sensitive to the team. How to avoid the accident?
1. Do not expect to «special wheel» and ABS.
Special wheels on the ice really reduce the braking distance (about 7%). But on solid asphalt and snow cover the special bus, on the other hand, extend the braking.
ABS (anti-lock system) to the stopping distance also does not have any relationship, it protects the car from possible lock brakes and overturning cars.
So try to drive at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour. Studies have shown the American Institute for Security ILEIS, it is the «reliable» speed in such a situation.
2. Stay away from trucks and buses.
Do these machines much more weight, so grip the road better. At the same car grip the road can be interrupted at any time (especially when the road in the snow), and you can put aside for a truck.
3. Cautious on «crossings» and intersections!
The white stripes are made of material which in this weather becomes slippery as soap.
Other vulnerable areas for drivers - this is the road bends and junctions. They are the most «stock», and exit them from other sites may lead to the demolition or emergency.
4. Does not pull in the skidding of a.
This is the most common mistake drivers in such a situation. Of course, in the case «danger» want to immediately brake, but do so in any case can not be! Your actions should depend on the machine with which drive you are going.
5. A car with front drive.
It is stable, with the dispersal, it is easier vykarabkivaetsya of sugroba - and for the stabilization in the skidding of a wheel requires quick turn in the direction of drift, while PODDAT GAZKU (though for a man becomes a more natural, in contrast, hit on the brakes, but it only exacerbates the mole).
6. A vehicle with a rear-wheel drive.
In this case, by contrast, need to DISCARD GAS - this will lead to a slowdown in the rotation of driving wheels, and the stabilization of the car. Not davite the brake (see above)! Rudder should be rotated, like a car with front drive, in the direction of drift - but do you need faster than the car turns itself (that is, the car pulls left, the steering wheel and there).
7. 4 +4 car.
He is the most difficult behavior - if allowed by gas, the feed will start to record as a car with rear-wheel drive. If the gas is reset, it will begin demolition of the front axle of a car with front drive. So keep that middle ground. Rudder turn in the direction of skidding.
8. Check the tire pressure.
Excess at some 0.5 atm. - In this weather, this is one of the most common cause of the accident.
AND MOST IMPORTANT: Be careful on the road, keep a great distance and did not exceed the speed.
