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.
AAA reminds motorists to be cautious while driving in adverse weather. For more information on winter driving, the association offers the How to Go on Ice and Snow brochure, available through most AAA offices. Contact your local AAA club for more information. AAA recommends the following winter driving tips:1  Avoid driving while youâre fatigued. Pack a cellular telephone with your local AAAâs telephone number, plus blankets, gloves, hats, food, water and any needed medication in your vehicle. 2  If you become snow-bound, stay with your vehicle. 3  It provides temporary shelter and makes it easier for rescuers to locate you. 4  Donât try to walk in a severe storm.
