RCMP gives winter driving tips

Wood Buffalo RCMP are giving out tips to make sure you stay safe on the roads this winter, and as you head out for the holidays.

Constable Christina Wilkins says the most important thing is to make sure your vehicle can handle winter conditions. That means making sure you’ve got winter tires on, and all of the appropriate maintenance work has been done before you leave.

She also says to make sure you’ve got maintenance and safety products in your vechile. Should your car break down, you’ll want to have extra warm clothing available, a cell phone, and a way to make your vehicle visible to others.

Wilkins says that an easy and important step is to check the weather forecast and also the AMA Road Report before you leave for your trip.
