How do you stop skidding on ice?
Accelerate, brake, steer and change gear as smoothly as possible to reduce the risk of a skid. A higher gear may be more appropriate to aid grip on packed ice. This helps manage engine power delivery, making it easier to find traction.

Why is my car sliding in the snow?
Snow. Snow can shift under the car tires, causing them to slide. Before winter begins, have appropriate tires rated for snow put on your vehicle.
