Driving in fog? Slow down, watch for brake lights, & leave extra space between vehicles. More: https://bit.ly/3iklBPS #ShiftIntoWinter

Rain mixed with snow + cool temperatures can cause slippery road conditions, which means significantly longer stopping times. #DawsonCreek

Slow down + increase following distance to at least 4-seconds. #ShiftintoWinter

The posted speed limit is for ideal driving conditions, so when the snow hits, it's important to slow down + drive with care.

Even the most experienced drivers cannot predict how their vehicle will react in snow or slippery conditions. #AlaskaHighway #ShiftIntoWinter
