Snow, ice and slush are just around the corner for Saskatchewan drivers.
On Wednesday, the Saskatchewan Safety Council and Capital Ford joined forces to promote Car Safety Month before the slippery streets and poor road conditions get here.
A free safety clinic was held for drivers, who were encouraged to prepare their vehicles for driving during the cold weather, by making sure brake lights and tire treads are working properly.
It is also recommended drivers have an emergency kit in their vehicle at all times.
Last winter almost 8,000 collisions on Saskatchewan roads were caused by bad weather conditions.
“We need to change our driving style,” Lee Carlson from the Saskatchewan Safety Council said. “We need to think ahead. We need to think of conditions we’re driving in or on and we need to be aware of the roads that we’re driving in.”
