    Good tires and wipers are a must in the winter when driving on snow and ice. Also, ensure that your washer fluid is topped up with winter washer fluid. Good traction are key to staying safe when driving on snow and ice. Maintain a 3 to 4 second following distance. Slow down back from where you actually want to get stopped and then creep up to where you actually want to stop. To recover from a skid, release the brake, release the accelerator and steer in the direction you want the vehicle to go.
    Good luck on your road test.

    If you have a fender bender on a slippery road, stay in the car! Full away to a safe spot. Dont get out and stand in the icy road in traffic.

    Thanks Rick! Great video as always. Some of these tips are not default behavior for people who haven't driven much in the snow. Slamming the brakes vs gently pumping the brakes with plenty of distance, not bunching up on the road etc.,
    What would be interesting (and provides you with ideas for video content) is to take youtube videos where people are sliding on black ice on highways and bridges and then point out mistakes and what people can do in similar situations.

    Tip 2, I disagree. Any winter tire, even the cheapest one will outperform the most expensive all-season tire. They are critical for your safety. You will stop sooner and have better control. Also, people should be driving with their low beams on to stay visible.

      Hi Rick. Good name, by the way. I am a Smart Driver, 58 years of age, with zero collisions in well over 2 million kilometres.
      I enjoy watching your videos very much. You and I think the same way when it comes to driving. It's nice to see someone that can explain clearly the science, and the art of driving.
      My 16 year old son recently got his '365' and I told him to learn from you, and he has. Unfortunately he lives an hour away with his mom in Pickering, so I am not his primary teacher. But I am glad he has you to learn from. Heck, even I have learned a few things from you.
      Thank you, Rick.
