Winter Weather is here! Let’s be safe out there.

Winter Driving Tip: TAKE IT SLOW

The weather outside can be frightful!

Snow and ice cause many motor vehicle accidents each year, especially the first couple of winter storms, as drivers forget that they must drive differently. The three P’s of Safe Winter Driving: PREPARE for the trip; PROTECT yourself; and PREVENT crashes on the road.

Slow down for wet, snowy, icy conditions.
Avoid quick braking or acceleration.
Find out about driving conditions before you go out.
Every time – bucke up.
Turn signals, brake lights and windows need to be completely clear of snow.
You should never use cruise control in winter weather conditions.

By remembering the 3 P’s, S-A-F-E-T-Y, and this last tip, you should hopefully avoid any collisions: Ice and Snow – Take it Slow!

The National Safety Council estimated that 42,060 people died in traffic crashes and 4.8 million more people were seriously injured in 2020 alone.

Don’t become a statistic!! Winter weather = SLOW DOWN!

Shout out to Deon Stevenson for being such a hard-working employee at CTM. He is a well-loved day porter.
