Winter weather presents many hazards including slippery roads (ice/snow). In my first year in Colorado, I remember being told a safety driving practice beneficial to us former flatlanders. When traveling downhill on a road, slow down during in the straightaways and ease off the brake in turns. Reason: Loss of traction. As you know, maintaining tire traction on the road surface is key to remaining on the road. The inertia a vehicle experiences in turns may be sufficient to lose traction and leave the road.
So think ahead. If the road is snowy/icy/black ice, your travel speed should be lower than if on dry pavement. When heading toward a turn, even if already traveling at lower speeds, gently apply your brakes to slow even further and then ease up/take the foot off brake during the turn itself.\
Be safe and stay on the road.
