The next few days will be cold and snowy, making roadways slippery and hazardous. Stay safe on the road with these essential winter driving tips! ❄🚗🌨

✅ Clear ice and snow from your windshield, windows, and mirrors before driving.
✅ Buckle up and ensure all passengers are secured.
✅ Reduce speed—icy and snow covered roads make it harder to stop or control your vehicle.
✅ Increase your following distance for safer braking.
✅ Stay alert—avoid distractions like phones and loud music to focus on the road.

Drive safely and take extra precautions in winter weather! 🚘✨
