Nova Scotians should prepare for winter driving conditions with winter tires, cold temperature antifreeze, and an emergency kit in their vehicles.

Other winter driving tips include:
• wearing seatbelts (seatbelts are required by law year-round)
• slowing down and leaving additional space between vehicles; it takes more time and distance to brake in winter conditions
• maintaining a safe distance from snowplows to give operators room to do their job
• keeping the gas tank at least half full
• planning ahead and allowing extra time for possible delays.
