SAFE WINTER DRIVING TIPS for PADUCAH & MAYFIELD

2/2/2022 (Permalink)

Anytime the weather service alerts us for a winter storm we need to prepare.  Needless to say, stay home unless it's absolutely necessary to drive.  Here are a few tips I found from the NHTSA and OSHA (click link below for the full article).

The three P's of Safe Winter Driving:

• Prepare for the trip- Maintain your car; Plan your route; Practice cold weather driving; Stopping distances are longer on on water-covered snow and ice
• Protect Yourself - Buckle up; Children 12 and under are much safer in the back
• Prevent Crashes - Drugs and alcohol never mix with driving; Slow down; Avoid Fatigue
• Watch for pedestrians who may be walking along side the road

Winter driving can be hazardous and scary.  Additional preparations can help make the trip safer.
