DESCRIPTION

The first snow of the year sends many drivers into a panic — especially in regions that rarely see winter weather. A few flakes can bring traffic to a crawl, and a thin layer of ice can trigger widespread fear and confusion. But winter driving doesn't have to be terrifying. In this episode of the Smarter Driver Podcast, Dr. Rick August explains why so many drivers dread the first snowfall, why winter conditions feel so unpredictable, and how a lack of practice and skills turns simple maneuvers into dangerous situations.

More importantly, you'll learn the exact driving habits, techniques, and space management strategies that will help you stay safe on slippery roads. From recognizing where ice forms first, to recovering from a skid, to avoiding multi-vehicle pileups — this episode gives you the confidence and competence you need when the temperature drops.

Whether you're a new driver or someone who simply avoids winter roads altogether, this podcast offers clear, practical skills to help you stay calm, in control, and safe during the winter months.

Good luck on your road test.
