Winter Driving Author: Eduardo P. Level: 5 Instructor: Diane R. Photo Credit: kadmy / 123RF Stock Photo Article ID: 761 [Seasonal- Winter 2017] Winter is coming. Here are some instructions to keep you and your family safe. Leave the cell phone alone. Focus on the road. Use winter tires and emergency reflectors. They are very useful for bad weather conditions. Keep a good distance between you and the vehicle in front of you in case of a sudden stop. Tune into the weather channel to be aware of weather conditions and traffic. Leave early. You will have time to get to your destination without rushing. Respect speed limits and traffic signals. Drive under the speed limit if it is icy or snowing.
