When your work speaks for itself, don’t interrupt. - Henry Kaiser - Bad weather driving tips from OSP With snow on the ground in much of the state and more winter weather on the way, Oregon State Police and the Oregon Dept. of Transportation (ODOT) advise motorists to use extreme caution when driving and to avoid driving if possible during icy and snowy conditions. ODOT advises motor- ists to check conditions before taking trips at www.tripcheck.com or phone (511 or (800) 977- 6368. OSP and ODOT ad- vise anyone attempting to drive in ice and snow to pay attention to their speed and treat malfunctioning traffic lights as four-way stops. Also, motorists need to be aware of stranded vehi- cles, pedestrians and chil- dren playing in the snow. Even with chains, four- wheel drive or both, steer- ing and stopping in snow is much more hazardous than under normal conditions. Here are some tips for safer winter driving: *Anticipate hazardous conditions and drive ac- cordingly. *Accelerate slowly and smoothly. *Drive much more slowly than usual. *Plan more time for commuting or a trip. *Dress appropriately for the cold; keep food, water and bedding in your vehicle. *Make sure your vehi- cle is equipped for the weather, with good tires, hoses, belts and fluids. *Leave more space between your vehicle and vehicles in front of you. (example: instead of one car length at 10 mph, give two to three car lengths at 10 mph.) *Watch farther ahead of your vehicle than usual. *Begin to brake ear- lier, and do so slowly and smoothly. *Slow down for turns. *Limit 911 phone calls to genuine emergencies. *Expect the most haz- ardous conditions early in the day, but watch for shaded spots that are slower to thaw. It doesn’t take much speed to spin out of control while turning, changing lanes or steering to avoid a hazard. Also, you can lose control of a vehicle if you drive through snow drifts built up by other vehicles. If you do not need to travel, consider staying home until the roads are safer. If you are stranded in your car, stay inside the vehicle and wait for help. If you have a cell phone, do not waste the battery by unnecessary phone calls.
