British stone. Clouds-With the drop in temperature and the forecast of rain and snow, it's time to play those winter driving skills again.

Minnesota State Patrol Sheriff Jesse Grabow said it’s time to get back into the habit of slowing down and increasing the distance between cars. He said that bad road conditions are not an excuse for a crash...

It was not weather or road conditions that caused the crash. This is because someone failed to maintain control of the vehicle and did not take due care, no matter what. Each of us has a responsibility to understand and always understand the actual and potential dangers. Now, the weather may be a factor, but this is not the reason they happen. Everyone is responsible for their vehicles.

Some other tips for safe winter driving include slowing down the vehicle before turning or turning. Grabow says that braking while cornering can cause you to lose traction and skid.

If you find that you start to lose control, remove your foot from the accelerator and steer to taxi to try to bring the vehicle back to your driving path.

In addition, Grabow says to make sure your vehicle has tires, good windshield wipers and effective windshield defrost for winter.
