21. Winter is dangerous because it's so difficult to
know what is going to happen and accidents
take place so easily. Fog can be waiting to
meet you over the top of a hill. Ice might be
hiding beneath the melting snow, waiting to
send you off the road. Thecar coming towards
you may suddenly slide across the road.
WINTER DRIVING

22. Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to
drive smoothly. Uneven movements can make
a car suddenly very difficult to control. So
every time you turn the wheel, touch the
brakes or increase your speed, you must be as
gentle and slow as possible. Imagine you are
driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the
seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn't
spill it.
WINTER DRIVING

23. Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what
might happen. The more ice there is, the further
down the road you have to look. Test how long it
takes to stop by gently braking. Remember that
you may be driving more quickly than you think. In
general, allow double your normal stopping
distance when the road is wet, three times this
distance on snow, and even more on ice. Try to
stay in control of your car at all times and you will
avoid trouble.

phone, but Claudia’s mom doesn't want to buy

phone. We can’t take these things away.”
