With the possibility of severe winter weather beginning later today through
tomorrow, District 8 Commander Dean Kennedy would like to remind motorists
to drive safely by following these tips:
- Slow down and increase your following distance
- Allow extra time to your destination
- Look ahead for and anticipate possible hazards
- Understand the posted speed limit is too fast for driving conditions
- Avoid travel unless absolutely necessary during severe conditions
- Wear a seat belt
Remember, weather conditions can change rapidly and create hazardous
driving conditions. It is important to maintain your vehicle properly and
have an emergency car care kit available.
