- Scrape all of the ice of your windows
- Warm up your car, defog your windows
- Leave plenty of space between your vehicle and the one ahead of you
- Start braking sooner than you think you'll have to in case your vehicle slides
- Leave earlier than you think you'll have to so you don't feel the need to speed
- Do not use cruise control

Remember, ice and snow - take it slow. Stay safe! ❄️🚓
