DRIVE CAREFULLY IN THE SNOW!
Chicagoland saw flurries today and will certainly be receiving its fair share of snow in the coming months. Drivers should exercise extra caution driving in the winter. Icy roads and blowing snow can make the roads more hazardous. Follow these tips when driving in wintry weather:
- Slow down!
- Allow yourself plenty of room to stop; do not follow too closely.
- Avoid skidding by braking gently.
- Turn on your headlights.
- Scrap all ice and snow off of your lights, windshield, mirrors and windows.
- Use low gears to keep traction
- Remember that bridges and overpasses freeze faster than the roads.
- Use caution.
