Some tips with our partner Hertz to not get stuck on the roads in winter.

Drive smoothy and slow down. Triple the usual distance between your car and the one ahead.

Starting : front wheels right, accelerate gradually in first gear. Release the gas pedal to recover traction if motor slides.

Driving : always pay attention to your pressure on the gas pedal.

Hill : drive slowly and smoothy in 2nd gear. Release the gas pedal to recover traction if the motor slides.

Descent : use the motor brake.

Braking : braking must be very gradual to stop the wheels from locking. In the event of the wheels locking and the car sliding, release the brake pedal to recover traction, then brake again, gradually. Do not steer while braking (loss of control).
In case of skidding: release the clutch to recover traction quickly, then engage the clutch gradually. Never look at the obstacle, look where you want to go.
