PennDOT echoed messages from previous years, notifying drivers to stay vigilant before and during the winter months.
and Emergency Management crews held a press conference Monday to brief the public on their winter weather preparations. The message echoed previous years, notifying drivers to stay vigilant before and during the winter months.
“For the safety of all motorists, drivers should always follow the speed limit, especially when speeds are lowered due to winter weather conditions,” said Carroll. Drive slowly. Always adjust your speed down to account for lower traction when driving on snow or ice. Know your brakes. Whether you have antilock brakes or not, keep the heel of your foot on the floor and use the ball of your foot to apply firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal.
Don’t stop going up a hill. There’s nothing worse than trying to get moving up a hill on an icy road. Get some inertia going on a flat roadway before you take on the hill.Be prepared: Have your vehicle checked by a mechanic before hitting the road. Don’t over-exert yourself: When digging out your vehicle, listen to your body and stop if you become tired.
