Winter Driving
What you need to know
Ontario winters demand lower speeds, winter tires and extra following distance. In the official Ontario tests, questions on this topic come from the Ministry of Transportation's Driver's Handbook (for cars) and Motorcycle Handbook (for riders).
Sample practice questions
How should you adjust your driving in snowy or icy conditions?
- Increase speed to reduce skidding
- Drive at a reduced speed and increase your following distance
- Brake hard to stop faster
- Use the same distance as on dry roads
💡 In winter conditions you should slow down, increase following distance, and brake gently to keep control on slippery surfaces.
