Dashcam footage of snow road driving, part 3. Snow is slippery at the beginning of snowfall, on compacted snow, and on roads where snow is melting. There’s also a risk of freezing in shaded areas, so even with snow tires, utmost caution is necessary. As you learned in driving school, sudden acceleration and braking are strictly forbidden. When stopping, gentle pumping of the brakes well in advance is effective. On curves, slow down and focus on feeling the tires gripping the snow. Even with snow tires, tire chains are essential. Because the road narrows, maintaining a safe following distance and yielding to other vehicles is more important than usual.
