Winter driving season is upon us and everyone needs to make adjustments to allow for the change in road conditions. Those adjustments need to include some simple steps;
- Leave earlier - Give yourself more time to get to where you are going to allow for a slower/longer drive
- Slow down and give yourself more distance to stop when you are following other vehicles
- Check to make sure that all your exterior lighting is turned on- not just the running lights which a default setting for many model of cars.
- Properly defrost your all of your vehicle’s windows and clear off any snow before you head out on the road- Having your exterior lights covered by snow and using a little spot to look out your windshield to drive until the rest of the windshield defrosts is an unsafe condition to operate your motor vehicle.
- Get snow- rated tires on your vehicles – they are specifically engineered to enhance driving performance in winter conditions especially when it comes to stopping and road traction. They do make a difference
Over the course of the day on Dec. 13, 2017 the Guelph Police Service responded to 208 calls for service.
