■ DRIVING Continued from Page l 8° Kelley said drivers should keep their speed at about 20 mph when roads are Icy and about 35 mph in other adverse conditions. In addition, drivers need to keep their distance from cars in front of them t-nove one-car length for even 10 mph. he said. Paul Forrigno, a state high way maintenance assistant who works near Willamette Pass, said most traffic acci dents this year have been, caused by people driving too fast in adverse weather condi tions. A state highway vehicle was hit by a motorist who was traveling about 50 mph on black ice, he said. "You just can't drive like that on him k ice." Ferrigno said. Forrigno said another com mon cause of accidents is dri vers not using required traction devices When roads are l«»(l, motorists an- required by law to use chains or trac tion devices like studded tires. Too mans people Ignore the requirements until it's too late “The time to put chains on is when the sign says so and in the areas provided for it." he said. Kelley and Kerrigno advise drivers to brake lightly in win ter conditions Slamming the hrakex cause* the car to skid Another helpful tip, Ferngno said, is to watch for shaded areas, which are usually the iciest Ferngno said the highway department sands icy and snowy roads as often as possi ble Hut much of tbit sand gets pushed to the side by cars Me suggests that drivers use the shoulder or middle of the road where the sand collects "Don't he afraid to stow down and drive on the shoul der The sand is there." he said. The weather this year has been unpredictable so Kerrtg no said drivers should always prepare for the worst "The weather has not been real cooperative," ho said Motorists should always bring an emergency survival kit. Kelley said Blankets, water, food, dry clothing and an extra coat are good items to bring along during road trips in bad weather. Also, t he* k with the Oregon State Police for current road conditions before traveling. 'Hie road condition number for Oregon is 975-7277.
