Clear your car vehicle of snow and ice
January 14, 2015 · 0 Comments
Driving in winter conditions can add many challenges and dangers by its very nature. Snow or ice on the roads cause slippery and unpredictable conditions, blowing snow reduces visibility, and snow banks can inhibit a driver’s field of view. All these conditions can be made safer by slowing down and paying full attention to driving, and driving according to conditions.
Ice, snow or frost covering windows and lights on a vehicle is also a danger that comes with winter driving. However this safety concern can be completely eliminated if every driver took the time to properly clear their vehicles before hitting the road.
Shelburne Police is encouraging all drivers to (at minimum) fully clear and defrost the windshield, front side windows, headlights and all marker lights before venturing on the roadways. Having a clear view to the front and sides is essential to driving safely. Fully visible lighting not only helps the driver see potential hazards, but makes the vehicle more visible to others, and your driving intentions more clear to others sharing the roadways.
The Shelburne Police are encouraging all motorists to do their part in making the roadways in our community safe for everyone.
