It is important that we all are aware of what we should do when inclement weather strikes, please look over the following safety tips:

•

Always check the current road conditions in your area by calling (800) 452-9292.

•

Be sure to remove all snow and ice from your vehicle before driving; make sure  that the windshield is clear as well as the taillights and headlights.

•

Accelerate slower than normal in wet conditions.

•

Increase the distance between your car and the car in front of you.

•

Remember that bridges, shaded areas and overpasses may take longer to thaw out and may still be slick. Approach all of these slowly.

•

Never use cruise control in wet conditions.

•

If you can, use non-freezing windshield washer fluid.

•

And as always, maintain your car to keep our roads safe.
