Recent
warm weather and lack of snow may have had some of us thinking and acting like
it's summer already. Today's blowing snow and reduced visibility reminds us it's
still winter and we need to drive accordingly.
Here are a few reminders to help get us through what's hopefully the last winter
driving of the year:
BE SEEN. Blowing snow can mean poor visibility. Keep your
headlights on even in daytime.
Avoid making sudden changes in direction that could take other
drivers by surprise. Signal lane changes and turns well in advance.
Speed limits aren't goals - they're maximums under IDEAL
conditions! SLOW DOWN when conditions are poor.
Maintain a RoadWise distance of about six seconds between you
and the vehicle ahead of you when the road is slippery
and
visibility is reduced.
