(SOUTHERN COLORADO) — For experienced winter drivers, icy roads will be no problem. But for drivers who need a refresher, here are some tips from AAA. First, know the forecast. The FOX21 Storm Team App gives you all you need to know about the winter storm so you can stay prepared. You can download it on the App Store or Google Play by clicking on the link above. Next, know your brakes. Whether you have antilock brakes or not, keep the heel of your foot on the floor and use the ball of your foot to apply firm steady pressure on the brake pedal. Third, get used to driving slowly and accelerating and decelerating slowly. Applying the gas slowly will help you regain traction when driving on snow or ice and help you avoid skidding. Also, try to not get moving in a hurry and take time to slow down before a stoplight because it takes longer to slow down on icy roads. Finally, here are some tips for hills. Try not to power up hills or stop going up on a hill. Applying extra gas on snow-covered roads will just make your wheels spin. Try to get a little inertia going before you reach a hill and let that inertia carry you to the top.
