#er driving hazard
Vii. N. Wilson, OPP
COMMunity Services Officer
The winter ahead, according to
€ edietions, is to be as severe as
big winter. Roads will glaze with
snow will drift across our
highways and snowplows will
push the snow into towering
banks along the sides of our high-
ways. Winds will take over,
creating wind tunnels between
these towering banks of snow
where our highway once was.
In these wind tunnels the wind
will swirl snow into, a fury of
white nothingness creating what
we call a "white-out". When we
drivers get stopped in one of
these times of sightlessness, we
could be on the wrong side of the
road meeting an oncoming car,
or drive into the rear of the car or
truck . ahead. Fortunately,
some drivers driving under these
conditions are driving at a slower
rate of speed than normal. In this
case, if there is a collision, the
severity of the crash is reduced
with the rate of speed and so is
personal injury reduced.
In a study on traffic deaths it
was found that death had oc-
curred in collisions at speeds as
low as 12 mph. Seat belts canpre-
vent this, particularly the some-
times uncomfortable one, the
shoulder belt. Without seat belts
occupants of vehicles in collision
go slamming against the steering
column, dashboard, roof and
windshield. Some are thrown out
of the vehicle which is generally
fatal.
Picture a child on your lap in a
collision at just 30 mph, your
body is forced forward crushing
the child against the dashboard.
Statistics show you are 80 per
cent safer belted up. Reduce your
risk of serious personal injury or
death - BUCKLE UP!
Here are some tips for winter
driving.
1. If you are involved in a colli-
sion and visibility is poor to nil,
stay in your car, pedestrians can
die when struck.
2. Posted speed limits are for
ideal conditions. In winter it may
be too fast. Use good judgment.
3. Be able to see and be seen
Keep all windows and lights clean
and clear of snow. Use your head-
lights freely ... you may not see
better, but you may be seen bet-
ter even in daytime. If visibility
is less than 500 feet it is law and
you must use headlights.
4. Winds cool bridges and over-
passes quickly and they ice up
more quickly than the rest of the
road. Soil insulates and acts as a
heat pad slowing the freezing of
roads.
5. While driving on ice and
snow remember that sudden
movement can cause a 'skid.
Don't speed up, turn or brake
sharply on slippery roads.
6. Allow a safe following. dis-
tance anytime but particularly on
slippery roads in case of sudden
stops. In 70-80 per cent of acci-
dents "following too close" is in-
volved.
7. Remove accumulated slush
and snow from car fender areas
before it freezes and effects
steering.
8. If you find yourself stuck in
snow, use second gear if a
manual shift, and drive if1 auto-
matic. Start slowly and grA�dual-
ly, don't gun the motor, this
causes wheels to spin and turns
snow to ice.
9. Many people die or suffer
from exposure or frost bite when
they get stuck or stranded in their
car. Dress according to weather
conditions and be prepared in
case you have to walk a mile or
two.
10. If your car does get stuck,
have it removed as soon as pos-
sible so that it doesn't cause an-
other accident or block snow re-
moval.
Winter driving requires much
common sense. THINK BEFORE
YOU GO!
