London Hotel Booking "The winter weather calls for all drivers on the road to be especially cautious," reminded Tofts. "Remember posted speed limits are set for ideal road and weather conditions. Slow down when visibility and road conditions are impaired by bad weather or heavy traffic volume."

Discount Travel AAA South Jersey and Jevic Transportation ask all motorists, car or truck, to be safe and aware drivers, keeping the following winter weather driving tips in mind:

Orlando Hotel * Pay attention to the weather forecast and road conditions here, at your destination, and on the roads in between. Just because the roads are passable here doesn't mean you'll be able to safely reach northern or western destinations. A matter of a couple miles or a couple hundred feet of elevation can be the difference between wet roads and icy roads.

Booking Agency * Driving with headlights on low-beam provides better road illumination in snow and fog than using high-beams.

International Travel Medical * Clear all the ice and snow from your vehicle, including headlights and brake lights, to improve your own visibility and help others see you.

New York Hotel * When driving on slippery surfaces, accelerate gently to avoid skidding. Once on the road, stay far enough behind other vehicles to avoid having to slow down or stop suddenly. The normal following distances of two to three seconds on dry pavement should be increased to eight to 10 seconds on icy, slippery surfaces.

Online Travel Booking * Carry a winter driving kit in each vehicle for use in the event of an emergency. Each kit should include tire chains (if legal in the area driven), a small bag of abrasive material (sand, salt, cat litter), a small snow shovel, a snow brush, traction mats, a flashlight with new batteries, window washing solvent, an ice scraper, a cloth or roll of paper towels, jumper cables, a blanket, warning devices (flares or triangles), a charged cellular phone, drinking water and extra clothes.

Travel Medical Insurance Above all, if it is not necessary for you to drive, then remain indoors and let our emergency vehicles and professional drivers complete their jobs," said Tofts.
