Visit the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario website for road conditions at <a href=\"https:\/\/511on.ca\/#:Alerts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ontario 511<\/span><\/a>. Dress for winter even though you will be in the car. Carry a cell phone to contact emergency services if you experience trouble. Carry a survival kit in your vehicle; recommended items include a shovel, blanket, booster cables, flashlight, high-energy foods, matches, and a candle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure your heater and defroster are working properly, check all lights including hazards to ensure they are working. Clear your car of all snow and ice, fill up windshield washer fluid if needed, and keep your fuel tank at least half full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In bad weather if you do not need to travel stay at home. If you do need to drive please adjust your driving accordingly. Allow extra time travelling to and from destinations and slow down. Leave ample space between yourself and the car in front of you. If you experience trouble, if possible park your vehicle well off the roadway and stay in vehicle until help has arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping the roads and highways safe is a shared responsibility between police, emergency response providers, and drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Huntsville Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to pass on some safe winter driving tips.
