The slick road checklist
I coach room, smooth moves, early braking and where to look. Here are a few habits:
- Leave more room. Stopping takes much longer on snow and ice. Double your distance, or more.
- Be gentle. Steer, brake and press the gas smoothly. Sudden moves make tires slip.
- Slow down before the turn, not in it. Brake early while the car is straight.
The full checklist is in the client area after you book.
Merging on I-25 and I-70
To merge, match speed and pick a gap early. Check your mirror and your blind spot. Use the whole ramp. Once you pick a gap, commit. We practice this in the Defensive Session.
How I coach it
Slick roads are part of the Defensive Session. We work on room, speed, braking and reading the road.
This is coaching. It is not a driving school. It does not count toward a permit or license.
