❄️The snow may have stopped, but icy conditions on the roads will be present for the next few days. If you must drive during these conditions, follow these safe driving tips:
Winter Weather Driving Tips SLOW DOWN. Icy and/or snow-covered surfaces make it harder to control or stop your vehicle, making your reaction time slower. Similarly, when driving in wintry conditions, do not follow behind other vehicles too closely- give yourself room to slow down safely. -Watch out for black ice, especially when the temperature is below freezing in trouble spots such as shaded areas or bridges and overpasses. Slow down, increase your following distance, and avoid making sudden movements such as turning or changing lanes- this may cause your vehicle to skid. -If you see a snowplow, don’t crowd the vehicle or travel beside it. Snowplows travel slowly, make wide turns, stop often, overlap lanes and exit the road frequently. -Inspect your tires often and before long trips. -During periods of low visibility due to snow or freezing rain, utilize your windshield wipers and remember, wipers on-lights on. -Be sure to watch out for pedestrians.
