How to Avoid Breaking Through Ice When Driving
______________________________________________________

• Do not drive on ice early or late in the season.
  Cars and light trucks need at least eight inches of clear, solid ice on which to drive safely.


• Cross any cracks at right angles, and drive slowly.


• Carry several large nails and a length of rope.
  The nails will help you pull yourself out of the ice if you fall in, and the rope can be thrown to someone on more solid ice.
