South Bruce OPP asking motorists to drive accordingly
(KINCARDINE, ON.) – Winter has returned to Bruce County and the South
Bruce OPP want to remind drivers of the following safety tips:
Stay alert, slow down and stay in control — the three key elements to
safe winter driving.
What makes the difference between an ordinary driver and a good one?
An ordinary driver reacts to the road situations.
A good driver anticipates crises and avoids them.
Don’t head out if the snowplows and sanders haven’t had a chance to do
their work. If you’re going to be late, remember being late is better
than not arriving at all.
What should you do if you start to skid?
Don’t PANIC!
Look where you want your vehicle to go and steer in that direction.
Don’t brake
Don’t accelerate
Drive according to current road and weather conditions. Keep a safe
distance between you and the vehicle in front of you and avoid
situations where you may have to brake suddenly on a slippery surface.
