NHTSA Releases Tips On Driving In Winter Conditions

When driving in ice and snow, you should travel at slow speeds because it is harder to bring your vehicle to a stop.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has released tips on driving in winter weather conditions.

When driving in ice and snow, you should travel at slow speeds because it is harder to bring your vehicle to a stop.

It’s also important to keep a wide distance between your vehicle and the vehicle traveling in front of you.

When it comes to maintenance vehicles treating the roads, you should never drive directly beside them. They tend to make wide turns and frequent stops.

Before taking off, make sure your tires are filled to the vehicle’s recommended inflation as temperatures can affect the pressure.

If you happen to get involved in an emergency where your car is stalled or stopped, you should stay with your car, make sure it is visible to other travelers, keep your exhaust pipe clear. You should also refrain from leaving your car running for long periods.
