Collision Prevention
• Clean snow and ice off your vehicle’s windows, side view mirrors, headlights, taillights, and license plate.
• Slow down, as posted speed limits are intended for ideal road conditions.
• Keep your headlights on so drivers behind you can see your taillights – don’t rely on daytime running lights.
• When changing lanes, signal early to let other drivers anticipate and react.
• Allow at least three times the normal following distance when driving on slick roads.
• Know your braking system and how it reacts to ice. Be gentle with braking pressure on slick roads.
