More snow is coming to central Illinois, so it's especially important to practice safe driving.
Piatt County Sheriff Mark Vogelzang reminds when warming up your car this winter, to be weary of anyone who may take the opportunity to steal it.
When hitting the roads, the Sherriff implores people to clear their windows completely to ensure the best visibility possible. Check online for road conditions before setting out, and if you don't have to leave the house, stay off the roads.
Clinton Police Chief, Ben Lowers says taking the extra few minutes to prepare your vehicle before getting out on the slippery roads will pay dividends. He also stresses slowing down and moving over for emergency and service vehicles.
If you are to become stuck, Chief Lowers recommends putting on your hazard lights, staying in your vehicle, and calling for assistance. He says your vehicle is your best protection until you can be helped.
So as central Illinois finds itself getting snow, always remember to drive slow, allow plenty of travel time, and to always wear a seatbelt.
