White said that safe driving during the wintertime is largely a matter of "keeping cool despite the added hazards brought about by adverse weather in the form of combined with poor visibility, this can lead to an extremely hazardous driving situation." The council executive urged motorists to compensate for these added hazards by heeding the six tips developed by the "When National Councils Safety and Committee on Winter Driving Hazards as an outgrowth of its annual test project. Safe driving during the winter months demands all the skills and precautions required at any time of the year plus the added responsibility of coping with slippery pavements and poor visibility," the safety official explained.
