Before you drive
Clear snow and ice from your windows, lights, hood, and roof.
Check that your headlights, brake lights, and turn signals are operational and clear of snow.
Make sure your defrosters and windshield wipers work and that you have windshield wiper fluid.
Keep your fuel tank close to full whenever possible.
On the Road
Wear your seat belt.
Adjust speeds based on current weather conditions.
Do not use cruise control if the roads are snow covered.
Increase your following distance of the vehicle in front of you.
Don't crowd the plow - stay a good distance behind a vehicle that is plowing snow.
