Allow extra time to travel to and from your destination. Slow down and adjust your driving to the current road and weather conditions. Leave extra space when following vehicles as the stopping distances will be more than double on snow covered and icy roads. Activate your full set of headlights during winter travel. Remember, daytime running lights do not engage your rear tail lights, making it difficult for drivers behind you to see your vehicle. Stay alert, focus on the road and avoid any sudden braking, accelerating or steering. The leading cause of collisions that occur during winter months is poor driving, not poor driving conditions. Slow down, stay alert and stay in control. Following these three simple steps will go a long way in reducing the number of winter-related collisions on our Huron County roads.
