Braking on snow, ice and other slippery conditions could potentially cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Don’t use the transmission to gear down. Gearing down could cause the wheels to lock, which will see you lose control. Use the brake to bring the vehicle to a stop. If the vehicle starts to skid, you can simply take your foot off the brake allow the tires to turn, and then brake again. If driving an automatic car, when preparing to slow, put the transmission into neutral to cut all residual power to the drivetrain and aid in stopping.

Good luck on your road test.

Wonderful advice brought to you by someone who doesn't know how to drive a manual transmission. The bottom line you either use the brakes or downshift, as long as you have enough experience to control your vehicle. I have been using both interchangeably for years without an issue.

I was on my way to school one day, road was icy. When I used my brakes to stop at a stop sign, I started sliding a bit.
After that I decided to downshift the rest of my drive, never slipped once.

Thank you for the tips on what to do on snow and ice I have not used neutral before though

Thank you Rick for helping so many drivers who don’t know how to drive on ice. Neutral and the brake as you said is the safest way to stop your vehicle. Your knowledge is very valuable.

Wish I knew this advice earlier. 2 years ago I downshifted and my wheels locked up did a 360 spin into Kerb and then into the tree. I’ve got a bit of PTSD driving in this weather now 😅 but Yh now I’ve been using the brake

I've always used engine power and downshifting to slow down in the winter. Not once have my wheels locked up due to doing so. Nor have I heard of anyone ending up in the ditch due to doing so. Also the driving schools in my country teach you to downshift in the winter instead of using the brake pedal. Must be different in the States i guess.

Just had a scary drive through some snow and ice in Western NC near Blowing Rock and Grandfather Mountain. My wheels definitely locked up a few times while I was trying to brake. Fortunately I was always able to correct but I didn’t know this trick.

Genuinely curious because this goes against everything I’ve been taught. In Colorado I do a lot of mountain driving and in the mountains I’ve always been taught to always gear down and use the brake when needed. Would you still say use the breaks over gear down? I will say I do fear gearing down because I agree the wheels can lock up, especially if you get down too low, but at the same time, I also fear losing my brakes and have noticed a couple times when using the brakes heavily they do start getting brake fade and shake a bit

Can I also use the handbrake/emergency brake to stop on ice. Will that help as well. Especially going downhill on ice. In an automatic transmission.

If you lock the wheels when downshifting, you very likely dont have experience or common sense. Press down firmly on the brake and the abs will activate keeping the wheels from locking up, dont tap repeatedly or ride the brake as the abs wont function correctly. Experienced drivers will use tapping and feathering or downshifting to slow down once they know the points where their truck looses traction. Ive had the best traction conditions driving in snow compared to sand, dirt dry, wet, sand over hard pack, or ice without studded tires. Just as in sand, snow actually slows down the car.

i don’t understand what he’s talking about because i haven’t drove in ice or snow yet, can someone explain what wheels locking up means and how it’s caused and how neutral fixes it

in todays world i would bet driving skill esp in wintery conditions has gone way down hill...so best game in town today is likely letting antilock brakes do their job...in the old days pre antilock they would teach you to pump the brakes...
back then you would seek out snow covered parking lots and basically do donuts...
front drive messed things up unless you had a hand brake to create a slide...but front drive also gave an option to pull out of a sideways slide...
ive had truck automatic reardrive positrack 4w and jeep manual all my driving life and ive never needed to downshift the auto...i have downshifted manual jeep in general in snow but you have to know what the downshift is doing that you arent putting enough reduction to make the wheels slide...depends also on whether you happen to be on slippery conditions on downhill id prefer to coast slow in a lower gear...its also kind of instinctive to actually hit the brakes a bit when u first get out in snow and see how slippery it is...
anyone remember the blizzard of 77? snowmobiles were organized looking for cars in the ditches...

Interesting shifting to N does not cause the traction control system to fail? I thought N allows free spinning of wheels. Must be different in some cars.

Most importantly TAP YOUR BRAKES

how would the wheels lock up by shifting down a gear?

In my opinion, this advise is the exact opposite of how you should maneuver in slippery conditions (ice/snow/hydroplaning).
