Winter Safety
Winter Safety
Snow, sleet, ice, and freezing temperatures all have an effect on winter driving conditions. This may mean driving slower than the posted speed limit, leaving more distance between your vehicle and the on in front of you, allowing extra time to arrive at your destination, and checking road conditions before leaving.
Motorists are reminded to follow Michigan's Basic Speed Law, which requires them to drive at a "careful and prudent" speed in all conditions.
Remember: Ice and Snow, Take it Slow.
