❄️ Roads can become dangerous quickly during winter weather. Thanks to the North Charleston Fire Department for sharing these winter driving safety tips. Stay safe and stay warm.

❄️ Driving in Ice or Snow Safety Tips ❄️
Ice and snow can make road conditions dangerous in seconds. The safest thing to do is to stay off the roads if you do not have to travel. But if you must drive, keep these tips in mind:

❗Slow down – Speed limits are for dry roads.
❗Increase following distance – Give yourself plenty of room to stop.
❗Avoid sudden movements – Brake, steer, and accelerate gently.
❗Turn headlights on – Help others see you in low visibility.
❗Stay focused – Distractions and winter roads don’t mix.
❗Be prepared – Carry an emergency kit, warm clothing, and a charged phone.
