Do you listen to weather reports or check the states road conditions number, prior to taking trips? Do you have respect for the conditions that can happen on the road when they are wet, snowy or icy? Have you thought about the things that you need to do to reach your destination safely? Do you keep your gas tank at least half full during the winter? These are all things that you can do to make traveling safer during the winter months. But dont just think about taking care of these things. Take the time now to take care of them. Do not drive when you are tired. Your perceptions and your reactions are slower when you are tired. Dont drink then drive. Make sure that any drugs that you may be taking will not impair your ability to drive. Bad weather is when you want to be sure that your reactions are good enough to get you safely to your destination. Probably the best actions that you can take during the bad weather season is to always make sure that your safety belts and other restraint devices are always on. Dont let anyone in your car forget. Dont be lazy about this. Its important. Check the brakes, ignition, belts, and hoses. Change and adjust your spark plugs. Check your air and fuel filters. Inspect the distributor. Make sure that the battery is charged and ready for cold weather. Make sure that you check the tires. If you dont think these things are important, consider what it would feel like to be 50 miles from home when one of these things develops a problem. Ever had a dead battery when its cold outside? Do you know what happens to your control of the vehicle when the cold weather causes the tires to become under inflated? If you can realize how important these things can be, then its time to check them out. Now. Before the roads get bad. The Safety Council advises that motorists should all carry a survival kit in the car. It should include a flashlight (with extra batteries), flares, compass, first aid kit, ice Other scraper and snow brush. wooden include might things matches in a waterproof container, non perishable foods and candies, a shovel, jumper cables, maybe a tool kit. And then, how about you? When you drive, do you always understand the rules of the road? Were Senior Trooper Jack Peterson By We have already had the first snow of the year, and are currently dealing with wet roads and other traffic problems caused by weather. Its time to start to think about winter driving again. Driving in the winter means dealing with wet roads, ice, sleet, snow, and other traffic conditions. Road conditions can lead to hot tempers and other unforseen dangers. During the winter, the leading cause of death in America is traffic problems. Winter driving conditions can turn small mistakes into serious problems. Accelerating, braking, and cornering all call for extra control when a vehicle is doing it on adverse road conditions. A drivers biggest responsibility in the winter is to try to anticipate the problems that may happen. Maintaining control of a vehicle resolves many problems. Being prepared to deal with adverse conditions is a good place to start for a safe trip. There are some things that you can do to help prepare yourself and your vehicle for winter driving. Lets start with your car. Make sure that it is ready for the winter.
