Weather Safety Tips:

On Ice or Snow:

  • Bridges and Overpasses Freeze First. Slow down and avoid sudden land changes when traveling over bridges and overpasses.
  • Keep windows clear of snow and ice.
  • Keep your speed steady and slow
  • Use brakes cautiously. Abrupt braking can cause break lock-up, which causes you to lose control of the steering.
  • If you get stuck in the snow, straighten the wheels and accelerate slowly. Avoid spinning tires, the heat friction caused by the spinning tires melts the snow and creates a thin layer of ice.
  • Use sand under the wheels to increase traction if you get a little stuck.
  • Never stand in traffic or push a car that is stuck, someone else could lose control of their vehicle and seriously injure or even kill you.

When it Rains:

  • Turn on your head lights at first sign of rain.
  • Use the defroster or air conditioner, to keep windows and mirrors clear
  • Slow Down, roads become slippery as water mixes with road oils, grease, and dirt.

During Foggy Road Conditions:

  • Stay to the right of the roadway
  • Turn on your headlights - day or night to low beam
  • If fog thickens, put on your hazard flashers to aid others coming from behind you to see you better
