Safe Winter Driving Tips

Cruise Control is dangerous on icy roads. Don’t use it when driving during inclement weather to avoid accidents.

If your car starts to skid, take your foot off the brakes and don’t accelerate. Steer the car in the direction you want to go and then slowly apply the brakes.

Maintain a good distance between the car in front to avoid crashes.

Before driving anywhere, make sure to thoroughly brush snow and ice off of the car, including the roof.

If you do have to go out in snowy or icy conditions, make sure you know the roads you are travelling on very well.
