Driving on Ice and Snow There is so much that goes into driving on ice and snow. Even a well maintained VW with modern winter tires can find itself in challenging situations in cold weather conditions. Drive safely and good luck. Drive slower on snow and ice than you normally do on the same dry roads. Ice and snow are slippery. Try to brake, turn and accelerate separately. Each change individually can cause you to lose traction. Combined braking and turning, accelerating and turning or braking, accelerating and turning multiplies the possibility of you loosing traction. Brake and accelerate easily. Hard or even moderate changes in speed can cause you to lose traction. Suddenly letting off the gas causes rear wheel compression braking which likewise can cause lose of traction. If possible, slow down before you get to a turn and ride through the turn without braking. Drive defensively. Increase your distance between vehicles and avoid the temptation to pass and cut off roadway morons until excessively safe to do so. Also consider hitting the roadways when it isn't so crowded. Learn how to pump your brakes. Pumping brakes in a VW will bring it to a stop faster than locking up the brakes and hoping for the best. Keep your fuel tank full so that you won't run out of fuel while stuck in traffic. Consider reading up on winter driving and attending a good winter driving course.
