on slick pavement:
Slow down  and allow extra  follow-

makes it harder to see and increas-
es  the  distance   needed  to  stop
your vehicle.
Turn  OFF your  Cruise  Control. (if
equipped)
Replace   your   windshield   wiper
blades  when  they  show  signs  of
streaking or  missing areas  on the
windshield.
Be  sure  your  tires  have   enough
tread.  If  your   tires  do  not   have
enough tread, making a quick stop

Adjust  your mirrors  to  reduce the
glare   from  other   driver's   head-
lamps.
Keep  your  headlamps  clean  and
properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed   headlamps   will   make   it
much more difficult to see at night.
Turn on your headlamps to make it
easier for others to see you.
Driving too fast  through large pud-
dles can  affect your brakes.  If you
must  go  through  puddles,   try  to
drive through them slowly.
Avoid staring  directly at  the head-
lamps  of  oncoming  vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take  several  seconds for  your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.
