In a state as large as Texas, winter driving conditions can vary widely and change quickly. That’s why it’s important for drivers to be prepared to handle potentially dangerous conditions during cold weather months.
With winter upon us, the Texas Department of Transportation's (TxDOT) “Be Safe. Drive Smart.” campaign is offering safety advice for motorists who may be driving in hazardous road conditions. The tips offered include tips on preparing your vehicle for winter travel, as well as how to drive in various winter weather conditions.
- Always buckle up – every person, every ride. Wearing a seat belt is one of the best safety protections in any kind of weather.
- Before hitting the road, check DriveTexas.org or call 800-452-9292 for road closures and listen to weather forecasts.
