Winter driving can prove to be challenging, especially when operating a massive garbage truck or other construction vehicle. However, avoiding the snow entirely is a choice that many of us don’t have. When the winter hits, we must face the snow in order to get the job done well, regardless of how icy it is on the roads.
In order to avoid danger on the roads while driving in the winter, it is essential to be prepared, especially if you must work through a snowstorm. When you are out working in the snow, here are some winter driving tips to keep you and others safe:
- Drive more slowly than normal
- Use your turn signals to alert other drivers and help them anticipate your actions
- Give yourself plenty or room to brake
- Drive with your lights on at all times of the day
- Use snow tires, if possible
