Police Cheif, Michael Ferre' turned the calendar ahead today and made some pointed references to deadly tricks winter has in store for Pleasnt Grove drivers during the months ahead. Winter's reduced visibility and loss of adequate traction were the Chief's concern. "Our major winter traffic tie-ups tie-ups and skid-crashes can be traced back to one or a combination com-bination fo these factors," he pointed out. "Drivers must re-accustom themselves to adverse winter conditions. Their vehicles must undergo important changes, too." As for changes in driving habits, Chief Ferre' recommended recom-mended that winter weather conditions call for slower than normal speeds and increasingly in-creasingly greater distance between your car and other vehicles. "Under no circumstances," he warned, "can you start, go and stop on slippery pavements with any way near the efficiency you can on clear, dry roads." Concerning before-the-rush vehicle maintenance, main-tenance, the Chief suggested that drivers follow checklists endorsed by the International Association of Chief's of Police and based on testing carried out by the Committee on Winter Driving Hazards of the National Safety Council. Coun-cil. Engine Tune-ups--indispensable for dependable starts when the mercury plunges. More importantly, a sputtering, unresponsive engine makes vehicle control on snow and ice-slick surfaces unnecessarily difficult if not impossible. Electrical System- at tune-up tune-up time, have your battery checked, the generator (or alternator) as well as the wiring and distributor for breaks and cracks that can short out! Lights- all must be working; and above all, must be kept clean. Exhaust-- make sure the entire system is tight and is not leaking deadly carbon monoxide gas. Anti-Freeze- keep recommended recom-mended proportions for prevailing temperatures. Permanent types should usually be replaced every two years. Windshield--dead wiper blades and weak pressure wiper arms can't clear snow and ice build-ups. "Dead" blades are cracked and dry and will streak. Replace them, and at the same time have your heater-defroster system checked. Brakes- uneven braking is sure to throw your car into a skid on winter slick roads. Have brakes checked and adjusted ad-justed if necessary. Tires- good treads are important im-portant at any time of year, and especially when pavements are slippery. It's important to remember that the type of treat is more important im-portant than whether the tire is of bias belted or radial construction. con-struction. Tires with snow treads improve traction in snow, but are less effective on glare ice. In areas and during times when studded tires are permitted, per-mitted, they improve both stopping and pulling ability on ice. Tire Chains- by far the best assist for all around protection under severe weather and road conditions -- deep snow and glare ice. And the best of these are reinforced tire chains. ''Advance preparation coupled with sensible driving habits can reduce winter accidents ac-cidents and traffic tie-ups in the months ahead" Chief Ferre' concluded. "Time and money spent today to get your car ready for winter could be the best investment you can make for your family's security and your own peace of mind when winter hits."
