Here in Vernon, British Columbia, Canada today we've had a good dump of snow. There's probably about 8 inches (20cm) of snow on the ground-- new fresh snow--which makes it pretty slippery. There's a lot of snow on the roadways as you can see here. So what I've done is I've gone down to the local rental shop and I've rented some of those 36" inch, one metre tall, pylons and I've just placed them in a cross pattern here in the parking lot. And I'm just going to show you a few exercises that you can do to just to sort of get used to the vehicle.

And show you what happens when you over-accelerate, when you over-steer, or when you over- brake on slippery conditions, as it is today in Vernon. So that you can get used to the vehicle and know what you need to do for lighter touch on the acceleration and the braking and steering. And know that braking and steering have to be separate actions. And show you what's going to happen with the brakes when the ABS kicks in on slippery conditions when you're trying to get it stopped. Maybe you were going a little bit too fast and the ABS kicks in. Now if the ABS--the anti-lock braking system-- does kick in--grinding, shudder, push back on the pedal--all those are normal reactions and the vehicle is going to sort of stutter forward. And that's all normal on ice and snow because the ABS really quickly kicks in - quite quickly on slippery conditions - on ice and snow. And know that as well that you're going to experience that.

BRAKING

And today I'll tell you when that happens during the exercises that we're gonna do here. So the for first exercise we're just going to try and stop. We're gonna race down the parking lot and we're going to try and stop before we hit the pylon. So that's the first exercise that we're gonna do is braking braking. That's the first thing you need to do because obviously in the winter time you need to stop. So you see that I have my vehicle nice and cleared off. So we're just going to get in line with this pylon here and we're gonna go and drive towards that pylon. And then you're gonna stop. You can see in the dashcam there that I barely got stopped. And you could hear the ABS kicking in. So... we turned around. And if you run into the pylon it's not a big deal. What is going to be a big deal is if you're out on the road and you run into another car. So what's going to be important is that you leave plenty of space between you and other vehicles on the roadway.

SPACE MANAGEMENT

One of the the smart drivers on the live feed the other day asked me about that: if their vehicle goes into a skid and they're too close to the other vehicle they're not going to be able to manipulate the controls of the vehicle and they're going to run into the other vehicle. And exactly! You need space around your vehicle, otherwise you're not going to have room to maneuver in the event of a skid. Okay, so we're just gonna back up and just try that a couple of times.

So we drive up towards - we get going here and you can see that on these slippery conditions in the parking lot here almost immediately the ABS brakes engage in the vehicle. So that's the first thing we're gonna do is just brake. Now the second thing we're gonna do is, we're gonna accelerate. You can see that the back end came right around there and I ended up in the snowbank as soon as I accelerated. So when you go around the pylon here/ I'm in second gear. Now you can see the other thing, as soon as it starts to spin the backend comes around. Now I can work that and go around the pylon here. And the more I accelerate, the more it comes around. And of course I stalled it.

Good luck on your road test.
