Winter Weather is Here: SLOW DOWN

Snow and ice arrived in Michigan yesterday and the fools were out in force, going 80mph on the ice and spinning out or going into the ditch.

Remember:

• Don't go faster. Go slower. It saves on gas too.
• Don't tailgate. Multiple accidents yesterday because people were following the car in front of them too closely. Space is our best friend in winter.
  
• 4-wheel drive does not mean 4-wheel stopping when you're on ice.
• Remember to dress warmly in case you have to abandon your car and go for help.
• Take your cell phone, but don't use it when you're driving. BAD!!
  
• Slow down on exit ramps. They can get icy too. On the way home last night, I saw seveal cars that went too fast around the corner and went off the road.

I mentioned the tips above because those were common sense sorts of things that I saw other drivers involved in. Police and towing companies were very busy last night.

Here's a complete list of tips.
