Snow was falling this morning and there were patches of black ice on city streets. The Guelph Police Service would like to remind city drivers that we must drive for the weather conditions that are presented to us. Please remember:
• STAY ALERT: Weather conditions can change quickly, placing extra demands on your vehicle and your driving skills. Keep your focus on the road and on other vehicles. Eliminate all distractions and make sure you are well rested.
• SLOW DOWN: Always drive according to weather conditions. Keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front of you to avoid having to brake suddenly on a slippery surface.
• STAY IN CONTROL: Make sure you know how to handle your vehicle in all weather conditions.
