Posted: 2024-11-12 14:09:28 By: thebay
The O.P.P. is reminding drivers to stay safe this winter by ensuring their vehicles are properly equipped.
Winter tires provide better traction on snow, ice, and cold pavement, reducing stopping distance by up to 40% compared to all-season tires.
Police say that while all-wheel drive helps with acceleration, it doesn’t improve stopping power.
The O.P.P. urges drivers to adjust their speed for conditions, as excessive speed is the leading cause of winter collisions, saying: Remember, in snowy or icy conditions — keep it slow!
