SAFE driving tips while we’re still digging out from #snowmagedden2023 While roadways are still being widened, drive with headlights on. Makes it easier to see vehicles coming on blind curves. Use side view mirrors to judge distance from snow berms, some of you can get much closer to the berms to avoid collisions. Upbound lane has the right of way, even on smaller roadways. Meaning, downbound drivers pull as close to berms as possible-find a spot you can snuggle into and wait. Wait for upbound vehicles to pass you. Bigger bumper rules. 😉 Be kind to larger vehicles. Stop at 🛑 signs. No throwing snow into roadways. Pile it up on your property. With the melting snow, debris is falling into roadways, use ⚠️ Turn around, don’t drown. Stay safe out there.
