Winter weather too often catches people unprepared.
Researchers say that 70 percent of the fatalities related to ice and snow occur in automobiles, and about 25 percent of all winter-related fatalities are people caught off guard, out in the storm. Preparing your vehicle for the winter season and knowing how to react if stranded or lost on the road are the keys to safe winter driving. Install good winter tires. Make sure the tires have adequate tread. All-weather radials are usually adequate for most winter conditions.
