Using second or third gear.
Snow, ice and other adverse weather conditions reduce the grip of our vehicle's tyres on the tarmac. Therefore, to start the vehicle, we should always do so very gently and use the highest gear possible, normally second or third gear, to prevent the wheels from spinning and the vehicle from skidding.
