OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt says today’s blast of winter weather feels like the coldest storm situation motorists have faced so far this season as officers deal with hundreds of collisions.
Schmidt says as a motorist you play an important part in safety by staying off the roads if you can.
If you have to be on the road Schmidt says easy does it.
Schmidt says while snow tires can give you an edge when the snow flies – getting somewhere safely depends on you.
In challenging conditions like today – Schmidt says driving while distracted is just asking for trouble.
