One of IBAO’s key priorities is to promote and encourage safe driving. This is an especially important reminder to drivers during the winter months when the roads are more dangerous than ever.
As the winter weather worsens, it is important for drivers to adjust their driving techniques so they are always prepared for unpredictable conditions. It is vital for drivers to exercise extreme caution and stay calm and alert when driving in compromised conditions due to the weather.
IBAO urges individuals to exercise the following measures when driving in these hazardous conditions:
• Be patient and drive cautiously;
• Invest in proper winter tires;
• Keep your distance from the car in front of you;
• Ensure your vehicle has had a full maintenance check-up;
• Keep a winter emergency kit in your vehicle, including ice scrapers, salt, gloves, windshield washer fluid and a blanket.
Be prepared and stay safe during this frosty season.
