Yield sign by Ann HaydenHere are ten tips for safer driving during winter here in Wildwood, Missouri or anywhere experiencing winter weather:

1)  Take your time.  Plan for delays and drive with caution.

2)  Pack emergency supplies in your vehicle:  food, water, blanket, shovel, sand, ice melt.

3)  Keep your gas tank at least half full because you never know when you are going to be stuck in a jam.

4)  Do NOT PASS snow plows.  Their job is to clear the road-stay behind them at a safe distance.

5)  Remember bridges and over-passes freeze or support ice first.  Proceed with caution.

6)  Be certain to clean your windows completely.  A clear view is needed to maneuver your vehicle during a snow storm or after one.

7)  Be certain to clear off your headlights and tail lights.

8)  Drive with your lights on.

9)  Do not slam on your brakes.

10)  Remember to turn into a slide. 

And while you are on the road, remember there is only one you and someone will miss you if you are gone.

Ann, the information in this blog could not have come at a better time for many, as there is quite a bit of the bad weather in the country right now. Drivers need to be safe.

Ann-I think you could have titled this just simply winter driving tips.  With the winter weather across a good portion of the country right now all of your tips definitely apply!  Good post!

Ann great tips, but you for got one, and that is, if your singing sounds like mine it can be very distracting to drivers within a 1/2 mile radius :)

Ann-I think everyone should print this out for their teen drivers and post it on the door to the garage or to the outside.  They may not look at it, but you can always try and make them look!

Debra,

I agree with you!  Most are over confident and end up in the ditch...

Team Knowles,

Wouldn't that be a great thing.  Instead we had all those people who think it is not a big deal getting in the way and causing accidents.

Thanks for your comment,
