factors producing these higher Winter Accident rates Are inadequate traction and reduced inadequate traction is primarily wet2em of Snow ice and combined faulty driving poor a action generally results in skid one of the most common actors contributing to motor reduced visibility during Winter reduced visibility is caused by longer hours of lowered visibility Dur ing times of fogs and and obstruction to Driver vision by Snow and dirt on we must compensate for these hazards by reducing our speeds and insuring that windshields and win Dows Are kept clean and our wind shield and brakes Are in excellent condition before speeds should be materially reduced on Slippery pavements to avoid dangerous speeds should be in Normal driving Range of other traffic and passing kept to the braking distances ice and Snow increase braking distances from three to 12 times that required on dry cobblestones and other Road sur fares in Europe Are Slippery when and pose a greater threat than ice and Snow and ice conditions Are probably More hazardous when they Are not alternate freezing and thawing caused by temperature fluctuations during the Day present unexpected hazards to in some sections of roadways May be icy while others Are wet or dry at any particular ice in Shade when driving in cold always anticipate ice beyond Obi around and in shaded spots places where the Sun May not have been Able to melt away the brakes must be kept in Good condition the year but it is particularly important that they be kept in perfect condition during the Windshield wipers assume added importance in the Winter because of visibility reducing often apparently Good bladed should be because of Carbon monoxide exhaust and mufflers should be cd for and if the exhaust sys tem is free of leaks and the Tail
