Winter driving can present a host of challenges in NE Ohio as we all know.  Low air temperatures, snow accumulation, fewer daylight hours & ice all cause winter driving problems.

So to prepare you for the winter months ahead here is a little advice to help you get from point A to point B safe and sound.

1. Maximize your driving visibility by removing all snow and ice from your vehicle before you take off.  Windows should also be defrosted before you start driving.
2. Fill windshield washer reservoir with a non-freezing washing solution.
3. Make sure all snow is removed from your lights, headlights, taillights and running lights.
4. Use snow tires for extra traction.
5. Allow more distance between you and the car in front of you.
6. Approach bridges and over passes with caution.  Although they may be cleared of snow, they might be very icy.
