While snow and ice may be beautiful to look at, it can be a nightmare to drive on. Unfortunately, we cannot always stay home when the road conditions deteriorate. That's why it is important to know what to do if you start to slide on icy roads around Newark, DE.
The team at Porter Chevrolet would like to stress how important it is to not panic. Slamming on the brakes will make the situation much worse. In fact, you should avoid the brakes altogether so that your wheels are moving freely. The goal is to re-align your front and back wheels so that you can regain control.
To do this, you need to turn into the slide. Whichever direction the rear of your vehicle is moving in the direction you need to turn the steering wheel. Once everything has lined up, straighten out your wheel and proceed with caution.
