Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
Your car is stopped on a snow-packed, icy street. How should you start moving?
Correct answer: Accelerate slowly and steadily with the front wheels pointed straight ahead.
Why
On snow and ice, start with slow, steady acceleration and keep the front wheels pointed straight ahead. The Wyoming manual notes that many drivers start in second gear, or in Drive with an automatic, for smoother starts. Four-wheel drive helps traction, but any vehicle can skid when power to the wheels changes suddenly, for example when you lift your foot off the gas quickly.
