To ensure safe winter driving, follow these important tips:
1. Allow at least three times more space than usual between you and the car in front of you.
2. Know what kind of brakes you have and how to use them.
3. Use caution on bridges, overpasses, and infrequently traveled roads since they will freeze first.
4. Use low gears to keep traction, especially on hills.
5. Put snow tires on your car if you live in an extreme climate.
6. Drive slowly; it's harder to control or stop your vehicle on snow-covered surfaces.
