HPD Corner
With the deep freeze finally setting in, the HPD would like to remind everyone to properly clean their car of ice and snow, taking extra care to clean the windshield to improve visibility.
Also, slow down. In normal conditions, you should maintain a following distance of three seconds between you and another car. On winter roads, increase that to a full 8 to 10 seconds.
Yes, that may mean slow going, but a little patience will keep you a lot safer on the road.
