Driving in Mud, Sand, Snow or Ice

When you drive in mud, snow or sand, your wheels

won’t get good traction. You can’t accelerate as

quickly, turning is more difficult, and you’ll need

longer braking distances.

It’s best to use a low gear when you’re in mud

-- the

deeper the mud, the lower the gear. In really deep mud,

the idea is to keep your vehicle moving so you don’t

get stuck.

When you drive on sand, you’ll sense a change in wheel

traction. But it will depend upon how loosely packed the

sand is. On loosely packed sand (as on beaches or sand

dunes) your tires will tend to sink into the sand. This has

an effect on steering, accelerating and braking. You may

want to reduce the air pressure in your tires slightly

when driving on sand. This will improve traction.

Hard packed snow and ice offer the worst tire traction.

On these surfaces, it’s very easy to lose control. On wet

ice, for example, the traction is so poor that you will

have difficulty accelerating. And if you do get moving,

poor steering and difficult braking can cause you to slide

out of control.

CAUTION:

Driving on frozen lakes, ponds or rivers can be

dangerous. Underwater springs, currents under

the ice, or sudden thaws can weaken the ice.

Your vehicle could fall through the ice and you

and your passengers could drown. Drive your

vehicle on safe surfaces only.
