Winter can cause many problems. Whether it’s rain, freezing rain, wind or snow, a commercial driver must be prepared to face the hazards winter driving. Commercial drivers can compensate for poor traction by slowing down and making all movements gently, and not driving faster than conditions allow. Commercial drivers can also double or triple following distance and refrain from tailgating. Safety experts recommend trying to build as much separation between you and other vehicles. Keep at least a 10 second following distance when driving on snow- and ice-covered roads. Avoid driving in packs.
