Great Winter Driver Safety Tips

Winter weather conditions are finally here in North Carolina.  With the change in weather and snow on the horizon, it is important that drivers remain cautious and follow safety tips like these suggestions provided by the Department of Transportation:

Always clear your vehicles' windows and mirrors.  This will allow the road, pedestrians and other vehicles to remain visible as you are driving.

Try to reduce your driving speed and leave room between your car and the car ahead of you.   If you hit a patch of snow or ice, it may take longer to reach a full stop, which is why it is a smart idea to leave some room open.

Bridges tend to accumulate ice and sleet first.  So, be cautious when driving through over them.

Always have a cell phone with you.  In the event of a car accident, you will be able to call police and 911 immediately.
