8. Drive safely
Driving in winter weather is a danger, and gets the better of hundreds of drivers every year.
Safe Winter Roads reported:
“Every year, nearly 900 people are killed and nearly 76,000 people are injured in vehicle crashes during snowfall or sleet. Each year, 24 percent of weather-related vehicle crashes occur on snowy, slushy or icy pavement and 15 percent happen during snowfall or sleet.”
Drive only if it’s absolutely necessary. If you are out of food or water that is a necessity, making it to your daughter’s weekly play date is not.
