Ontario winters can be challenging — especially for new drivers.

1. Drive Slowly on Snow and Ice

Speed reduces traction, especially at turns.

2. Increase Following Distance

Use a 6-second rule in winter.

3. Clear All Windows and Mirrors

Driving with snow still on your windshield is dangerous and illegal.

4. Brake Gently

If tires skid, release the brake and steer gently.

5. Use Winter Tires

They help with traction and reduce stopping distance.
