(THUNDER BAY, ON) – The Thunder Bay Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) want to remind motorists to drive with extra care and caution as we prepare for a winter storm in our area today and tomorrow according to environment Canada.
Poor visibility and strong winds may provide for hazardous driving conditions in the Thunder Bay area. Weather conditions may change quickly and unexpectedly as a result of winter storms and wind gusts causing reduced visibility. Driving defensively, reducing your speed and adjusting your following distance will assist in reaching your destination safely. Always exercise caution when driving and consider postponing travel until weather conditions improve.
The OPP reminds motorists to watch for emergency responders and to move to the left when safe to do so.
Please be a safe driver, safe driving benefits everyone!
