And now and announcement from Project 111…
When your car is covered with snow, please clear off Car Completely and allow extra time to get to your destination.
- If snow has fallen since your car was parked, take the time to thoroughly brush it off the vehicle–including the roof–and scrape any ice from the windows. “Peephole driving” through a small, cleared spot on your windshield reduces your visibility and is quite dangerous.
We would also like everyone to Slow Down when there is inclement weather!
Speed Limits are set for ‘Ideal Road Conditions’. That means when the roads are snowy or icy (or even wet) going the speed limit is most likely not ‘ideal.’
- Reduce your speed and drive smoothly.In slippery conditions, tires lose their grip more easily, affecting all aspects of your driving: braking, turning, and accelerating. Keeping the speeds down will give you more time to react to slippage or a possible collision, and it will lessen the damage should things go wrong.
- Don’t let four- or all-wheel drive give you a false sense of security. 4WD and AWD systems only provide extra traction when accelerating. They provide no advantage when braking or cornering.
