When driving on a slippery road, what should you do?
I’m from the South so I’m not used to ice and snow. But I recently moved to Chicago for college, and I’m so nervous to drive when it’s cold and wet outside. How do you drive on a slippery road?

You’re right to be cautious! When driving on a slippery road, you should always slow down.
To help you get a better understanding of how slow you’ll need to go, here’s a guide:
- Drive 5 to 10 mph slower on wet roads.
- Drive half your normal speed on snow-covered roads.
- Drive as slowly as possible on icy roads.
Other ways to drive carefully on slippery roads include:
- Take turns slowly.
- Keep a larger distance between you and the person in front of you.
- Stop and accelerate gradually.
For ultimate peace of mind, make sure you have great car insurance. But there’s no need to overpay!
