We get our fair share of rain here in the Pacific Northwest, but sometimes Mother Nature decides that we need some snow, instead.
We wanted to remind you to be safe in this snow. It’s safest to stay home. If you have to get out, however, here are a few tips to follow for safe driving:
- Drive Slowly – It’s harder to stop and control your vehicle on slick roads.
- Increase Following Distance – If it’s harder for you to stop, then it is the same for other drivers. Give them space to avoid any accidents.
- Stock Your Vehicle – Keep blankets, flashlights, jumper cables, and flares or emergency lights in your vehicle. These things will be helpful if you are forced to wait for aid in the cold.
- For more details on safe driving in inclement weather, check out the National Highway Safety Administration’s website.
Stay safe. Stay warm. Remember:
