Begrudgingly for many of us, it is time to think about winter with recent snowfall in some areas of the province and no break so far in the colder than average temperatures.
SGI’s Tyler McMurchy is reminding drivers about adjusting their habits for winter driving.
For instance, drive to the conditions of the road.
Posted speed limits are for ideal conditions so if it’s icy or slippery or visibility is reduced, slow down.
Clear the snow from your vehicle and check the Highway Hotline before heading out on your trip.
Make sure there is space between you and the vehicle in front of you to give you time to stop.
SGI suggests a 4 second following distance, and while it’s not mandatory in Saskatchewan, SGI also suggests investing in a set of winter tires. (CJGX)
