Tips for Safer Driving at Night

• Before driving, walk around the vehicle to ensure the headlights and the taillights are fully functional
• Don’t stare directly into oncoming headlights, pay attention to the white line that guides the road should you have trouble seeing as cars pass

Look Out for Deer

• Deer are more commonly found on rural roads but that doesn’t mean you should disregard them. Deer collisions account for nearly 200 deaths annually
• Deer ofter move in groups, if you see one, its likely there are other close by

Winter Driving Tips 

• Drive Slowly, especially on slick surfaces
• Nearly 1,300 deaths and 116,000 injuries occur annually
• Areas that may see less daylight pose more of a threat of being slippery when wet or frozen over when temperatures reach freezing
• Cold weather drains your battery, have your battery checked regularly
• Keep your gas tank at a minimum of 3/4 full to prevent frozen gas or gas lines

Create a Vehicle Survival Kit

• Pack and ice scraper, bag of kitty litter for traction, & blankets for you and passengers
• Pack a first aid kit with bandages and antibiotics
• Pack non-perishable items, preferably high energy treats such as dried fruit, canned nuts or hard candies
• Keep a pair of jumper cables & jack in the trunk of your vehicle
