As the chance of snowfall increases, remember to always consider safety first.
- Give yourself extra time to account for traffic and potentially longer drive times.
- Consider communicating with the members early. Let them know where you are in the shopping process and if there are any expected delays.
- If you are ever uncomfortable driving, remove yourself from the schedule. Be on the lookout for communications from HQ in the event of a major storm approaching.
-
Driving in snow and ice tips:
- Accelerate and decelerate slower than usual.
- Avoid sudden braking.
- Increase your following distance.
- Avoid hills when possible.
- Be sure all of your windows and mirrors are clear of snow and frost before driving.
- If you do start to slide, turn your wheels in the direction that the rear of your car is heading.
- Go slow and steady.
