The latest winter snow storm hit Long Island hard. The best advice we can give you is to stay inside and off the roads. If there is no way you can avoid driving today, check out some of these important safety tips to remember:- Drive slowly.
- Leave plenty of room between your vehicle and the car in front of you. In the event of stopping short, this will prevent you from hitting the other car.
- Brake gently to avoid skidding.
- Turn on your lights, even in the day time.
- Keep your windshield clean. Road salt and residue is kicked up and accumulates on windshields, preventing you from seeing clearly.
- Use low gears to keep traction.
- Don't use cruise control.
- Bridges usually freeze first, so be extra careful when crossing one.
- Don't pass snow plows or sand trucks. They have poor visibility and this may cause an accident.
- Do not stop on an incline or hill.
