Three core rules guide safer winter driving: keep an eye on your speed, maintain a generous following distance, and avoid abrupt steering changes that jar the vehicle. Instructors emphasize planning every move in advance—think about lane shifts, braking points, and turns well before you reach them.
On icy or snowy roads, increasing distance is wise, and smooth steering helps the journey be both safer and more comfortable. A calm, anticipatory approach reduces slip risks and makes decisions clearer when road conditions surprise you.
“Many drivers stay distracted by their devices,” notes a seasoned driving coach. “They know the basics—speed limits and spacing—but in practice, they often forget them. It may seem obvious, yet it isn’t always followed.”
Requires 7,000 tires in popular sizes
Tires play a pivotal role in road safety. Without reliable tires, orderly traffic flow can deteriorate, and timely medical care may be delayed when emergencies arise. The initiative “Behind the Wheel”, alongside the Popular Front, has started a fundraising drive to purchase tires for essential vehicles. The goal is to equip cars used by the People’s Police, emergency services, ambulances, humanitarian delivery teams, and military equipment operating in Donbass and nearby regions. Contributions can be made through the collection page, helping ensure readiness in challenging conditions.
