Help Avoid Unnecessary Accidents

City Police would like to remind motorists to adjust their driving habits accordingly. Last evening 5 motor vehicle collisions were investigated and slippery road conditions played a role in them. Drivers need to reduce their speed, allow for a longer stopping distance, and allow a larger distance between their vehicle and the vehicle ahead of them. Leave home a little earlier to allow a safe arrive at your destination. It appears that winter is upon us. By allowing yourself a little more travel time, as well as adjusting your driving to the wintry conditions, you can help avoid an unnecessary accident.
