6 Winter Driving Tips
Following these tips will help you maintain control of your vehicle on icy or snowy roads. For more tips and techniques, see the bottom of the page for videos on winter driving from states across the country.

#1 Take it slow. On icy and snowy roads, there is less traction between your vehicle tires and the road. Driving slowly helps you maneuver the car better and stay in control.

#2 Avoid sudden braking and acceleration. Start slow, stop slow: Slow acceleration and slow, controlled braking can help you avoid skidding on icy surfaces.

#3 Be alert. While you may be doing all the right things to drive safely on winter roads, others may not be. Staying aware of other drivers and your surroundings will allow you to react quickly and avoid accidents.

#4 Don’t use cruise control. Having full control of your car is key to driving safely on hazardous winter roads. The automatic features of cruise control could accelerate your car when the tires have lost traction, which could cause you to lose control of the vehicle.

#5 Don’t tailgate. Follow at a safe distance from the car in front of you. It takes a greater distance to stop your vehicle when the roads are snowy or icy.

#6 Turn off auto-driving features. If you have an automated vehicle, disengage auto features so you have full control of the vehicle.

Do you like food? Do you like cars?

We're hosting a small Farmer's Market this coming Friday at Morningstar Christian Fellowship (in the parking lot!).

If it shows promise, we would love to invite more farmers and vendors in future... to build community spaces where we can gather and get to know one another!

If you know any vendors who would like to set up a table, please let me know. We are not charging any fees, but just hoping to create a welcoming, fun environment :)
