Winter has reared its face in our direction and it is time to start shifting our mental driving habits to accommodate the conditions that winter likes to bring. A few tips to consider is to reduce speed on snowy road conditions. Make a concerted effort to avoid distractions like eating and using your cell phone. It is wise in snowy conditions to avoid cruise control so that individuals can be in control of acceleration and deceleration. Be sure to plan out one’s route so that possible dangerous situations like bridges or higher elevations can be taken into consideration. Check the vehicle’s tires that there is good enough traction to be driving in snow. Finally, increase the distance between the vehicles in front of yours in case either person loses control.
