What should you do if your vehicle is trapped in ice or snow

the tires. Accelerate gently when the tires grip. If your vehicle

a.
b. hold the steering wheel tightly, steer straight ahead, and slowly ease your foot off the accelerator. Do notbrake until the vehicle is back under your control.
Pull the vehicle completely off the road at the nearest
opportunity
What do you do if you experience steering failure?
If the front wheels of your vehicle do not respond when you turn the
steering wheel, ease up on the accelerator. Do not brake unless it is
necessary to avoid a crash.
Your vehicle may balance on its own and travel in a straight path
as you reduce speed. If you must apply the brake, do so gently. If you
brake suddenly, or try to shift gears, the change in speed may throw
the vehicle off balance and out of control.
What do you do if you experience brake failure?
A brake pedal that sinks slowly when pressure is applied is one sign
that your vehicleʼs brakes may be failing. A warning light should come
on if there is a serious problem.
If your brake pedal suddenly sinks all the way to the floor, try
pumping the pedal to build pressure. If this does not work, slowly apply
your emergency/parking brake. Applying the brake too abruptly could
throw the vehicle into a skid. Remember: the emergency/parking brake
engages only the rear brakes.
Driving Conditions
75
Minnesota Driver’s Manual
If road conditions allow you to coast to a stop, shift your car into a
lower gear. Continue to down shift as you decelerate until you can
safely pull over and stop.
What do you do if you run off the pavement?
If your wheels drift onto the shoulder of the road, do not try to swerve
back onto the pavement. Stay on the shoulder and slowly release the
gas pedal. After you have reduced your speed, turn back onto the
pavement. Then speed up again.
What do you do if a vehicle is coming into your lane?
If your wheels drift onto the shoulder of the road, do not try to swerve
back onto the pavement. Stay on the shoulder and slowly release the
gas pedal. After you have reduced your speed, turn back onto the
pavement. Then speed up again.
How do you avoid a crash if a vehicle is trying to pass you dangerously?
If the passing vehicle is nearly in position to move back into the right
lane, slow down and allow the driver to complete the pass as quickly as
possible. If the passing vehicle must drop back, speed up to make sure
there is adequate room for the vehicle to move into the lane behind you.
If a crash seems probable, and the right shoulder is wide enough for
your vehicle, quickly move to the right and allow the passing vehicle to
move into your lane
What do you do if you are trapped under water?
Most vehicles will float on the surface of water from 30 to 60 seconds.
If your vehicle enters deep water, make every attempt to get out of the
vehicle immediately. If possible, exit the vehicle through open windows
before the water reaches the window level. If your vehicle becomes submerged, try not to panic. Vehicle doors
cannot be opened until water pressure inside the car is equal to that
outside. When the vehicle is completely filled, doors can be opened,
if there is no structural damage.
The weight of the engine will cause the front end of the car to sink
first. The rear passenger compartment may provide an air pocket while
you plan your escape strategy. If there are other people in the vehicle,
determine their condition and try to exit the vehicle together.
What do you do if your car overheats?
Most vehicles have dashboard gauges or lights that indicate the engine
temperature. Activities such as driving in stop-and-go traffic on a hot
day, driving on steep inclines, and towing a trailer can cause your
engine to run hotter than normal.
When your engine becomes hot, turn off any unnecessary vehicle
equipment, such as air conditioning. If the temperature is still too high,
turning on the heater will help draw hot air away from the engine.
If these techniques do not work and engine temperature suddenly
increases or steam rises from the engine, pull over to the side of the
road, stop the vehicle, and turn off the ignition immediately.
What do you do if your headlights fail
If your headlights suddenly go out, try your parking lights, hazard
warning lights, or turn signals — one of them may work and give you
enough light to guide you off the road. If your headlights fail on a busy
or lighted road, you will probably have enough light to guide you. If
all your lights fail on a dark, deserted road, slow down and keep your
vehicle on the pavement until you can move safely onto the shoulder.
What do you do if your gas pedal gets stuck
If your gas pedal sticks, you may be able to free it by hooking your toe
under the pedal and raising it. If this does not work, apply the brakes
and shift into neutral, this will disengage the engine. Next, choose a
safe path and steer to the shoulder of the road. If the shoulder is not
paved, switch on your hazard lights and continue steering the vehicle in
a straight path until you can safely pull over to the shoulder of the road.
What can the penalty be for failing to stop for a school bus with it's red lights on?
Fail to stop for a school bus with its stop arm extended and its red
lights flashing, within five years of a conviction for the same
offense.

each year in Minnesota and injure thousands of others.
