As winter weather approaches, the Indiana State Police in Jasper urge drivers to prepare for icy and snowy conditions. Here are key safety tips:
Tires: Check and maintain recommended pressure. Consider snow tires for better traction.
Battery: Ensure your car battery is in good condition.
Wipers/Fluid: Replace worn wipers and use winter-grade washer fluid.
Emergency Kit: Pack essentials like a blanket, flashlight, jumper cables, and sand or kitty litter.
On the Road:
Dress warmly, clear snow/ice from your car, and drive cautiously.
Allow extra travel time, maintain greater following distances, and turn off cruise control.
Be patient, give snowplows space, and check on neighbors who may need help.
Stay safe, and remember to Buckle Up and Put Your Phone Down!
