Safe driving during snow
You can keep yourself, your family, and other pedestrians and drivers safe, by following a few simple guidelines when the streets are icy or visibility is poor:
- Slow down, and be sure to leave plenty of space between your car and the one in front of you
- Check your tires and tire pressure monthly to ensure you'll have good traction on slippery roads
- Make sure you have plenty of windshield washer fluid
- Keep your gas tank at least half full at all times, in case you have an emergency
- Get or make an emergency car kit
