Winter Driving Tips From The County Roads Department
Posted by: thepinetree on 12/05/2013 03:33 PM
San Andreas, CA...Severe weather can be both frightening and dangerous for automobile travel. Motorists should know the safety rules for dealing with winter road emergencies. The Calaveras County Public Works Department reminds motorists to be cautious while driving in adverse weather. Calaveras County Public Works recommends the following winter driving tips: Avoid driving while you’re fatigued. Getting the proper amount of rest before taking on winter weather tasks reduces driving risks. Never warm up a vehicle in an enclosed area, such as a garage. Make certain your tires are properly inflated. Keep your gas tank at least half full to avoid gas line freeze-up. Do not use cruise control when driving on any slippery surface (wet, ice, sand). Always look and steer where you want to go. Use your seat belt every time you get into your vehicle. Carry a survival kit containing blankets or sleeping bag, water, small shovel and a flashlight in case of vehicle breakdown or becoming stuck in the snow...
