They fear getting stuck in banked snow or soft shoulders, j What they forget, when ! they stop in traffic lanes, is that visibility is now at its ! worst and slippery road sur- I faces make it nearly impos- j sible for oncoming traffic to j make emergency stops or j quick shifts in direction. I If you must stop, the Insti-; tute's safety advice is wait until ! you can pull entirely off the road, out of the line of traffic. Then be sure to use only the j right hand door for getting in ; and out of your car and, at j night, always leave your head- j lights on! J |
