Please clean snow and ice off the windows of your vehicle before you drive. Give yourself the best opportunity to avoid a collision by seeing it coming. So many times we see vehicle driving down the road with the front window just cleaned off enough to see, or you see a cloud of snow going down the road because someone did not take the time to clean the snow off the hood of the car. The best way to drive defensively is to see the mistakes that others are making and avoid a collision. Drive safe and have a Happy Holiday Season.
