A winter snowstorm is upon us. You should avoid driving unless it is absolutely necessary. If traveling is necessary, here’s some helpful tips to navigating the slippery road conditions:
- Before driving, clear the snow off your vehicle
- Keep your headlights and windshield wipers on
- Avoid backroads and taking shortcuts; stay on the main roads
- Give yourself extra time to travel because it is important to drive slowly and carefully
- Pay attention to other cars on the road and allow distance between your car and the vehicle ahead of you
- Avoid stopping on hills
- If your vehicle begins to slide, here’s what to do:
-
- Stay calm, don’t panic! Wait for your vehicle to slow down so you can regain control
- Take your foot off the gas pedal; but don’t slam on the brakes
- Steer your vehicle in the direction that you want to go
