Winter FLINT, MICH. vacation travel Is becoming more popular each year and most trips will include at least some snow country driving. Heres some sound advice from specialists to motorists who may be taking even relatively short trips to ski resorts. These tips on travel preparedness apply to trips to warmer climates. One of the most important elements of safe winter driving is proper braking. First of all, the brakes should be In good condition and applied properly. A severe brake application on ice or snow is asking for trouble. Intermittent light application helps enable the driver to maintain control over the direction of travel. Feel Brakes Drivers should prepare themselves in advance for tricky road conditions. This means applying the brakes occasionally to get the feel of tt)e road. Simply apply the brakes Intermittently and lightly, Since tires are such important factors in safe winter driving, it is also advised that proper tire pressures be maintained. Acceleration on snow or ice should be done slowly and evenly. Rapid acceleration or jack rabbit" starts are almost as dangerous as severe braking. - Drift Temptation One of the temptations often encountered on winter highways Is the occasional drift across the road during or soon after a snowfall. Plowing through Is fun, but the wise driver takes it easy on the chance there might be something underneath the drift such as a carton box that, has fallen off a truck or some other object that has been blown out on the highway.
