Reduced Visibility, Poor Traction Navy Will Choose Training Projects for 135 In Utah Are Announced will be offered to Page Three FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1970 Instead, jab your brakes on and off quickly three to five times a second. This pumping action Bugs Winter Driver Most drivers recognize the two big hang-up- s of winter driving, inadequate traction and reduced ability to see, but many drivers neglect to compensate for them. This observation was made this week by Leo H. Barlow, Utah Safety Councils vice president for Traffic. To survive on winter roads drivers must learn to live with these twin bad weather driving beasts or get racked up in a crash. Skidding and did not see accidents are killers that our officers have to clean up after many times every fall and winter. The state safety authority has asked drivers to review with him some of the bad weather road hazards and techniques for handling them, developed over the years by the National Safety Councils Committee on Winter Driving Hazards. Wet Pavement. Accidents rise when it rains. If rain is heavy your car may start hydroplaning. Tires ride on a sheet of water off the pavement and the steering control is lost before you realize it. Water skiing is fun but not on a freeway with several tons of Detroit Iron for skis. During and after a heavy rain, reduce speed, check steering, and allow more space for stopping. Snow and Ice. At only 20 miles an hour you can use up to 10 car lengths in getting stopped on ice, compared with about one car length on dry pavement. Every driver should learn the technique of pumping brakes to slow or top. If you are trying to stop on ice or hard packed snow, resist the impulse to jam on brakes. lets wheels roll intermittently, helping to retain steering con- trol. Equipment - Regardless of the type of tires you use, you cant stop on an icy dime, but good treads do help. Tests show that snow tires improve traction considerably on the loosely packed snow, though they are not of any when when it comes to stopping on glare ice. Studded tires, on the other hand, provide appreciably more traction on ice. For severe snow and ice conditions, however, reinforced tire chains provide the ultimate in stopping and pulling ability. Always carry them in the trunk, along with a shovel, sand, rock salt or a piece of carpeting, some booster cables, a tow chain or strap and emergency lighting equipment. Skidding - Wet ice is especially treacherous. At 30 degrees near thawing it is twice as slippery as at zero. Make turns gently and cautiously. Watch for icy patches at bridges and over passes. Dont brake when you hit an icy spot. Hold the wheel steady and roll through. If you do go into a skid ease upon the gas and steer in the direction the rear end is skidding. Never hit the brakes when a skid begins. When you feel yourself coming out of the skid straighten your wheels.
