Winter Driving Tips

Local authorities want to remind drivers to exercise caution when driving during the winter.

 

DNR conservation police officer John Williamson indicates that anywhere there is a bridge or underpass, the roads are most likely to ice over. Williamson also says to exert caution when driving on blacktop roads due to "black ice."

 

 

Clinton Police chief Ben Lowers urges drivers to carry a safety kit in their vehicles when traveling during the winter season.

 

 

Chief Lowers reminds drivers that winter does occur in Central Illinois, and driving needs to be adjusted to combat the winter driving conditions. Lowers indicates that whenever there is a first snow or freeze, that is when law officials receive the most calls about winter driving accidents.

 

 

Chief Lowers reminds that if you do not have to be out on the roadways during inclement weather, then it is better to stay inside to reduce to the risk of getting stranded. Lowers urges drivers to respect the roadways and respect the weather.
