What is the best way to handle a vehicle on
black ice? Bridges often have black ice. It can also be more frequent in the morning, at dusk or in shaded areas of the road. When you feel the vehicle sliding on black ice, it is important to stay calm and try to glide over
it. The only change you should make is to lift your foot off the accelerator. If the
vehicle starts to skid, gently guide the wheel in the direction you would like
to go. Keep your hands steady on the wheel and avoid braking. Teenage drivers should practice this skill and other skills in a parking lot or another safe location before going on the highway.
