🚗❄️ Tips for Winter Driving ❄️🚗

Stay safe on the roads this winter by following these essential tips:

✅ Stay home and off the roads. This is the safest option for you and your property.
✅ Remove snow and ice from your vehicles.
✅ Slow down! Stopping distances on icy roads can increase three to ninefold.
✅ Increase distance between vehicles, as your stopping distance will increase.
✅ Be cautious on bridges and overpasses, as they become slicker.
✅ Drive smoothly with no sudden stops or turns to avoid spinning.
✅ Use your headlights.
✅ Remember: 4-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles help you go, not stop.
✅ If you become stranded roadside, stay with your vehicle and have an inclement weather kit in your vehicle.
✅ If involved in a vehicle accident and vehicles are moveable, exit the roadway into a parking lot and contact law enforcement for a report.

Stay prepared and drive safely, Jonesboro!
