âTHE MOST IMPORTANT DRIVING TECHNIQUE TO AVOID CRASHES WHEN DRIVING IN ICY OR SNOWY CONDITIONS IS REDUCING SPEED AND INCREASING FOLLOWING DISTANCEâ. When you are driving on ice, you have to keep in mind that your wheels don't have as much traction as they do when you are driving on dry pavement.
You should reduce your speed by 1/3 on wet roads and by 1/2 or more on snow packed roads. If you would normally be traveling at a speed of 60 mph on dry pavement, then on a wet road. you should reduce your speed to 40 mph, and on a snow-packed road you should reduce your. speed to 30 mph. When you come upon slick, icy roads you should drive slowly and cautiously.
