WINTER DRIVING CAUTIONS

Minnesota State Patrol Sergeant Curt Mowers said for some strange reason he's noticed too many drivers are forgetting some basic safe-driving techniques. Mowers said traffic crash fatalities are running way behind last year's pace and he'd like to convince you to keep it that way. Mowers said some drivers are forgetting to use their turn signals and stay in the side of the lane toward which they're turning. He said others are forgetting to replace their head or tail lighes when they burn out or not cleaning the ice and snow off. Mowers said simple tips like these will help reduce the number of deaths on the highway as well as the aggravation levels of other drivers.
