On your commute this morning, remember to slow down and keep a minimum of a two car distance between you and the vehicle in front of you and a three to four car distance on highways freeways. Keep in mind that driving at 55mph, you travel at a distance of 88 feet per second. That does not give you much time to react in these dangerous driving conditions today. ( Tip ) if a slide out occurs, do not brake or accelerate, let off the paddle and turn your vehicles front wheels in the opposite direction of the slide till your car comes to a complete stop. Also if possible, turn on emergency lights when the vehicle starts to slide.
