			Winter Driving Tips Winter is a beautiful time of the year, but can be a very dangerous time of the year without planning and preparedness. Listed below are a few tips for winter driving. Plan your travel route, and let someone know your travel itinerary. Know the currrent road conditions. Call 511 or 1-800-906-9069 in Nebraska for current winter road condition reports. Clear snow and ice from all windows and lights of your vehicle-before driving. Wear your seatbelts, and don't use cellular phones while driving. Pay attention while driving, slow down, use your head, leave plenty of room for stopping. Don't use your vehicle's cruise control in winter driving conditions. Avoid quick braking or acceleration. Watch for patches of ice on bridges and overpasses. Don't get overconfident with a 4 wheel drive vehicle. The 4 wheel drive can loose traction just as quickly as a two wheel drive vehicle. Do not pump anti-lock brakes. Drive with extra care and attention around snowplows. Carry blankets and extra warm clothing in your vehicle. If the road conditions deteriorate, pull over as soon as possible and seek refuge.
