For upon their con dition, r to a considerable extent, depends the driver’s ability to come to-a straight, sure stop when there isqsnow or ice on the streets. Safety in driving, at any sea son is a matter of control. The prjjne requirement is the ability to stop in the clear space ahead. When a car slides or skids, it is out as control, and the preven tion of sliding and skidding in volves the tires, as well as the brakes, which have already been discussed in a previous article. The only safe way to stop is to apply the brakes in such away that the wheels continue turning, at a steadily-decreasing rate, un til the stop is accomplished. There must be no slippage between them and the ground, for the moment that occurs the car is out of con trol. On a dry pavement, control is easily regained; but on snow or ice, the safest procedure is to avoid losing it at all. And tires with good tread are a major fac tor here, for they retain a firm grip on the road and resist the tendency to slide. When the streets are a glare of ice, it is sometimes expedient to let a little air out of the tires for the sake of the better traction ob tained by increasing the tire area in contact with the ground. But the tires should be re-inflated a§ soon as the emergency has passed, because the constant over flexing" of the sidewalls, which occurs when they are under-inflated, will short en the life of the casings. .
