Driving in snow presents several challenges due to **reduced visibility** and **less tire grip** on the road. This means the vehicle needs more space to brake and it is more difficult to control the steering wheel.

- **The first snowflakes** are especially dangerous because freshly fallen snow can create a slippery layer on the road, increasing the risk of skidding.

- During this initial moment, it is crucial **not to make sudden movements** with the steering wheel and **reduce speed gradually** to maintain control of the vehicle.

- Additionally, it is important to **maintain a greater safety distance** from other vehicles and **use the brake gently** to avoid skidding.

For these reasons, the moment when the first snowflakes fall is considered the most dangerous when driving.
