As snow begins to fall across the state, we’re reminding drivers to slow down and use caution when traveling on slick and snow-covered roads and to check out our winter driving safety webpage for other tips and reminders.
Remember: the weather doesn’t cause crashes; most winter driving crashes are caused by drivers going too fast for the roadway conditions.
For information on a wide range of cold-weather challenges, such as planning a safe route, how to control your vehicle on slick roads, what to do in an emergency, passenger safety information, tire tips and more, visit Michigan.gov/WinterDriving.
