The first ride after snow and ice might look safe, but it’s often the most dangerous moment of the entire storm cycle. When the pavement dries, hidden hazards like sand, salt, and uneven traction remain — especially at intersections, corners, and shaded areas. In this motorcycle safety video, we break down why riders crash more often after the storm than during it, how post-ice roads really behave, and what you can do to ride smarter on the first warm day back. If you want to avoid low-traction surprises and start the season upright, this is essential road strategy every rider needs to understand.
