Winter Driving Safety Tips
 

Take a few minutes to cover a few basics

• Get an earlier-than-usual start and plan for the trip to take longer than normal.

• Clear your entire vehicle of snow. Snow left on the roof and hood can easily end up on the windshield or rear window, obstructing your view.

• Clear ice off all windows and side mirrors. Clearing just a peephole will get you out of the driveway faster, but will also obstruct your line of vision.

• Remove snow from your shoes before you get in the car to avoid fogging up the windows and creating slippery gas and brake pedals.

• Always use your seatbelt and insist any passengers do so as well.
