Steering Out of a Slide on Icy Roads
If you have winter vehicle maintenance concerns, we can get you ready at Acura of Johnston. You should be prepared if you need to drive in snow and ice. However, even if you are a careful driver, you may hit a patch of ice that is hard to see.
This can cause your car to slide, with the back end moving in one direction and the front in the other. If this happens, you need to turn the steering wheel in the direction of the back end.
Steering into the slide is not instinctual. People usually want to press the brakes and yank the steering wheel in the other direction, but this can make you lose control of your vehicle altogether. You will need to straighten your steering wheel as your vehicle straightens, and you can then resume driving safely in Johnston or wherever you are.
