When it snows, is it advisable to drive on the tracks of other vehicles?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When driving in freshly fallen snow, it is highly recommended to follow the ruts or tracks left by preceding vehicles. These tracks usually have less snow accumulation, allowing the tires to make better contact with the asphalt. In this way, grip is significantly increased and the risk of sliding is reduced. However, if the snow has frozen into ice in the ruts, driving over them should be avoided.
