4. Always Yield to Other Motorists

When driving in Alaska, one should always yield to other motorists. When driving during inclement weather or during the winter, this is a key tip to survive driving in Alaska. When the roadways are covered in snow and / or ice, it can be very difficult to stop one’s automobile quickly. By failing to yield and even tailgating with other drivers, the chances of causing an accident increase significantly. Conversely, if another driver is tailgating your car while driving, the recommended technique is to pull over to the side of the road when safe and let the other driver pass.
