Due to the rain last night and this morning and the sudden drop in weather temperature and snow that is occurring at this time, road conditions are deteriorating very quickly. Drivers are reminded to exercise caution and care on all roads and  intersections.
General Winter Driver Information:
The Greater Sudbury Police Service wants to remind motorists of the challenges that come with winter conditions. Even the most experienced drivers must adjust their ways when roads are covered in ice / snow.
Almost every collision can be attributed to human error and that includes driving too fast for road conditions and following too closely, to not cleaning off the snow from the vehicle or clearing the windshield / windows completely.
Take a few extra minutes to clean off the car prior to putting the vehicle in gear and give yourself additional time to get to your destination – this could literally save lives, including yours or your loved ones.
The following tips can assist every driver in making our roads safer:
· Plan ahead and check the forecast - Determine if the trip is necessary during inclement weather.
· Slow down - Posted speed limits reflect ideal conditions, so adjust your driving to the road and weather conditions.
· Buckle Up – Always wear your seatbelt.
