🚔 Winter Driving Safety Reminder ❄️

As winter weather moves in, road conditions can change quickly. Snow, ice, and reduced visibility make driving more dangerous. Please keep these tips in mind:

• Slow down and increase following distance
• Brake early and gently to avoid skidding
• Clear snow and ice from all windows, lights, and your roof
• Use headlights during snow or low visibility
• Avoid cruise control on icy roads
• If roads are slick, stay home if you can

Our officers are out working to keep everyone safe—but your safest move is adjusting your driving to the conditions and staying home when possible.

📞 In an emergency, call 911.
🛣️ Drive safe and arrive alive.
