It's officially December, a time for indulging in delicious holiday
meals and spending quality time with family and friends. Days get shorter
and colder and nights...whiter. More snow on the roads also means it is
more important to drive safely. Unfortunately, an Annual Safe Driving
Study released recently, has revealed that December is the worst month
for collisions on Canadian roads, with the highest numbers of collisions
occurring during the three days that precede Christmas Eve, December 21,
22, and 23.
Luckily, this also includes some tips for keeping our roads safe this Holiday Season:
- Install winter tires.
- Clear all ice and snow from your vehicle before driving.
- Slow down and leave extra space between vehicles.
- Keep a winter safety kit in your vehicle in case of emergencies.
Transport Canada has also included some useful tips on its website that will prove useful:
- Learn and practice winter driving techniques before you need them.
- Plan your trip and check road and weather conditions.
- Give yourself extra travel time in bad weather.
- Avoid using overdrive and cruise control in bad weather.
- Travel with a fully charged cell phone.
