Winter safe driving tips:

As we start to experience inclement weather and driving conditions, Aylmer Police would like to offer motorists some winter driving tips.

Winter driving tips;  

• Consider keeping extra clothing, blankets, flashlight in your vehicle in the event you get stranded. Keep some non-perishable food items inside your vehicle as well.
• Make sure your tires have lots of tread and are properly inflated. Winter tires should be installed on your vehicle as they are safer in snow and ice conditions.
• Do not warm up your vehicle in a closed garage.
• Do not use your cruise control when roads are icy or snow covered.
• Only go out in inclement weather if necessary.
• Adjust your speed to road conditions and give yourself extra time to arrive at your destination.
• Increase your following distance so you can safely stop your vehicle.
• Accelerate and decelerate slowly.
• If you get stranded, do not leave your vehicle. Your vehicle becomes a temporary shelter when stranded. Call for assistance and stay in your vehicle until help arrives.
