SAFE DRIVING TIPS

Operating a vehicle during inclement weather, such as rain or snow, or at night requires the operator to alter his or her driving pattern. Here are some useful tips to make your commute safer.

• Leave early to allow for extra drive time to your destination.

• Drive at a reduced speed.

• Increase the  interval between your vehicle and the one in front of you.

• Allow for greater stopping distances.

• Assume there may be an unforeseen problem in the roadway ahead and drive accordingly.

• Never drive into standing water.
