Winter driving tips from DPS to Ottawa drivers
The Department of Public Safety issues winter driving guidance urging slower speeds and greater following distance. It recommends vehicle maintenance per police and safety council checklists, including engine tuneups, electrical system checks, clean lights, tight exhaust, proper antifreeze, wiper blades, brakes, tires suitable for snow, and use of tire chains or studded tires where allowed. Preparedness and cautious driving can reduce winter crashes and delays. -DPS Capt. Charles Bowling
