Winter weather in Schererville can result in some pretty slick roads because of snow, sleet and ice. If your vehicle starts to slide out of control a bit, there are some steps that you can take to correct this situation so you don't end up sliding into oncoming traffic or into a ditch on the side of the road.
It's important that you don't use your brakes. A lot of people's first reaction is to slam on their brakes, but this will only cause your vehicle to spin out of control further. Turn your steering wheel in the direction that your back wheels are sliding. A gentle turn should be more than enough to get your vehicle going straight again. Resist the urge to yank the wheel to one side and then the other.
