DRIVING SAFELY IN THE SNOW
If you must travel, prepare!
1--Clean all windows for good visibility.
2--Brush your hood, trunk, and roof clear of snow.
3--Clean off headlights and turn signals so you can see and be seen.
4--Reduce speed and keep your headlights on low beam. High beams will cause glare and affect your ability to see.
5--Drive at a speed that matches the prevailing visibility, traffic, and road conditions.
6--Leave additional space between you and the vehicle in front of you.
7--Use safety belts. With restraints you have better vehicle control and you can react with more precision.
8--Accept the fact that the going may be slow and there will be delays and inconveniences. Resign yourself to a slower pace. Relax and concentrate on your driving. It's better to take more time and arrive safely. Use common sense.
