DiCicco, as can be seen below, has plenty to say about how to stay safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Carpages.ca<\/strong>: What are some of the mistakes that drivers tend to make that could put themselves and others in danger?<\/p><p><strong>DiCicco<\/strong>: Everyone who drives in Canada regularly knows they need to slow down in adverse driving conditions. But they don\u2019t always understand why. It\u2019s the why that\u2019s important. Many people drive at a speed at which they feel they can competently stop within a reasonable distance. The average person thinks they\u2019re an above-average driver. That\u2019s kind of dumb, but that\u2019s the way it is.<\/p><p>What people forget is that they don\u2019t only have to allow space and time for them to stop, but they have to allow space and time for the vehicle behind them to stop and the vehicle behind that one to stop. Being a good citizen on the highway of life, you have to allow room for other people to make a mistake&#8230;.What you want to do is slow down early enough \u2013 activate the brake lights early enough \u2013 to get the attention of the vehicle behind, and have them start to slow down early. So both of you can come to a gentle stop.<\/p><p><strong>Carpages.ca<\/strong>: There are people who still believe that all-seasons are fine during the winter driving season. Can you explain the advantages of using winter tires during the cold season?<\/p><p><strong>DiCicco<\/strong>: Anything below 7 \u00b0C, you should have winter tires on because the rubber compounds remain more malleable, so people will notice their ability to transfer the weight from one side of the vehicle to the other&#8230; is going to be dramatically better with winter tires. That\u2019s another place where the thought process breaks down. Canadians who want to be cheap think that they only need all-season radials because maybe in downtown Toronto we don\u2019t get too much snow.<\/p><p>You can\u2019t save money by using all-season tires throughout the year because it makes more sense to purchase two sets of tires \u2013 including a set of all-seasons, and you put those on April 1, on April Fool\u2019s Day. If you keep your [winter] tires on beyond April 1, you\u2019re a fool. They wear out. You put the winter tires on November 11, because that\u2019s Remembrance Day, and while we\u2019re remembering the war heroes, you also remember to put on your winter tires.<\/p><p>If you purchase two sets of tires \u2013 one set of winter and one set of all-seasons \u2013 they will last you twice as long. So you\u2019re not spending any more money over the life of the two sets of tires of the vehicle. What you\u2019re getting in return is a reduced crash rate, a better degree of control. It\u2019s a safer drive, a more pleasant drive, a less stressful drive. You\u2019re not saving any money by using all-season tires four seasons of the year because you\u2019re going to replace them twice as often than if you had a set of all-season and a set of winter tires. Most Canadians are going to get three seasons out of each set of tires.<\/p><p><strong>Carpages.ca<\/strong>: If drivers lose control of their vehicles and go into a tailspin, what\u2019s the proper way to fix the problem?<\/p><p><strong>DiCicco<\/strong>: That\u2019s a complex question. And the answer is complex depending on whether you\u2019re in a front-wheel drive or a rear-wheel drive and whether it\u2019s what you call an over-steer skid or an under-steer. That\u2019s why you\u2019d go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ydwinterdriving.com\">www.ydwinterdriving.com<\/a> so you can see those situations on the website and find out how to handle it.<\/p><p>Habit number one is look well ahead. What you have to do is force your eyes way up the roadway where you want to be in 12 to 15 seconds \u2013 about a block and a half in the city or a kilometer on the freeway. What that does is force your point of reference way up ahead of the car because, when you\u2019re entering a skid situation, many people start to freak out and lower their chin, and they put their point of reference too close to the car. If that happens, when they go to correct the steering, they end up over-correcting because the point of reference is too close to the car\u2026. Imagine looking straight ahead of you now and all of a sudden take a quarter-turn counter-clockwise to your left. Now you\u2019re looking at your left rather than looking at the 12 o\u2019clock position. You\u2019re looking at 10 o\u2019clock. Well, the road is at 12 o\u2019clock.<\/p><p>If you, habit number one, look well ahead at 12 o\u2019clock, then you have to steer in the direction you\u2019re looking so your hands are going to go hand-over-hand to the right, which will bring the car turning into the skid in the direction you want to go. Let\u2019s say you\u2019re going to over-steer a little bit and now your vehicle is facing 1 o\u2019clock. Look well ahead to 12 o\u2019clock; now you\u2019re turning your head to the left. You\u2019re looking to the left up ahead so you\u2019re going to start to steer to the left. You may over correct a smidgen and now your vehicle is at 11 o\u2019clock. You turn to your right because you\u2019re looking at 12 o\u2019clock and get it back.<\/p><p>Those quick, simple corrections occur instantaneously and should occur habitually if you look well ahead and steer where you look and if you practice this. What\u2019s happening is you\u2019re transferring the weight from one side to another. You\u2019re praying to God that you were smart enough on November 11 to put on a set of proper winter tires.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon enough it will be time to put on the all-seasons and to deal with the challenges that come with spring and summer driving. Between now and then, however, there will be some treacherous, slippery roadways to contend with. DiCicco\u2019s tips can definitely help to make winter driving more manageable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winter driving in Canada can be a white-knuckle experience for motorists who don\u2019t know how to safely handle slippery roadways, freeways and parking lots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":1175,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1,2],"tags":[11,14],"class_list":["post-1172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guides","category-popular","tag-guides","tag-popular"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
