Mountaintop sat down with Officer Tony Kahn to discuss safe driving habits as winter approaches. We recommend basically the first thing is to slow down. Drive the way that you, the elements and what's going on, what the road conditions are. Wet roads, you're going to have less traction. Snowy roads is the same thing. Just slow down. Also make sure your tires and your vehicle are in pretty good shape. I see it all the time. People driving vehicles and the tires are extremely bad shape. Try to keep decent tires on your vehicle. That's almost 100% of your traction, basically. In addition to maintaining a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, staying off your phone and maintaining a safe speed in slick environments, drivers should also make sure their vehicle is in optimal working condition. Make sure your battery is in good shape. Every place that I know of that does this kind of mechanic work or the local parts stores, all of them will check your battery and it doesn't cost you anything. It's a free charge. It's free. They pull in there. They can put a tester on it and check it within minutes to let you know if your battery is okay, if it needs replaced. If you do break down, make sure your cell phone is charged up so you can call 911 or call a friend or find a member to come get you or whatever. Other tips to keep in mind are that your steering wheel is the most important tool when swerving. It's always best to slow down in wet and icy conditions and everyone in the car should be wearing a seatbelt at all times. For Mountain Top News, I'm Kelsey Dean.
