Winter Driving Safety Tip #4: Drive at an appropriate speed.

Icy roads make slowing down quickly impossible. When visibility is low and roads are snowy or icy, slow down and drive below the speed limit. Slower speeds combined with greater distances between vehicles can reduce your need to slam on the brakes or turn sharply, both of which can lead to skidding and loss of control.

Drivers are legally responsible for adjusting their speeds and adapting to road conditions. It could mean the difference between causing a terrible accident and getting home safely for the holidays.
