Motorists can increase their safety on the road during the winter by:

• Improve visibility by turning on headlights in the late afternoon before the sun begins to set.  Always use low-beam headlights in fog, rain or snow.
  
  
• Be sure to signal your intention to turn well before doing so.
  
  
• Clear all snow and ice from windows, the roof, the hood, the trunk, mirrors, lights and signals.
  
  
• Observe all speed limits and reduce speed whenever road conditions or visibility are compromised by foul weather.
  
  
• Avoid sudden starts, stops and hard turns; especially when roads are slippery or wet.
