The OPP want to remind everyone to be safe on the roads this winter.
OXFORD/NORFOLK - Winter weather has arrived in Oxford County and surrounding areas, and the OPP want to remind everyone to be safe on the roads this winter.
Member of the Norfolk County detachment, Constable Ed Sanchuk, gives some tips to ensure you avoid collisions and return home to your family.
"With the amount of snow that's anticipated, if you don't have to go outside, the best place is to stay at home but if you do have to go out, make sure that your entire vehicle is cleaned off, make sure your entire lighting system is turned on, including your rear taillights, so you're visible to to other drivers because you could run into visibility issues.
He also asks drivers stay patient, lower your speed, and prepare your vehicle for the weather with an emergency kit, clothes or blankets to stay warm and washer fluid to see out your window.
"The last thing that anyone needs is a call or a knock on the door from a police officer saying that your loved one has been injured or deceased as a result of a collision."
