Winter and bad-weather driving
Ontario winters bring snow, ice and poor visibility. The G1 test checks that you know how to adjust your driving when conditions turn bad.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ Reduce your speed and increase your following distance on snow or ice.
- ◆ Bridges and overpasses freeze before the rest of the road.
- ◆ Brake gently and early -- stopping distances are far longer on ice.
- ◆ Turn on your headlights in rain, snow, or fog so others can see you.
- ◆ Clear all snow and ice from your windows, lights, and roof before driving.
