How to Tackle Driving in Freezing Rain Winter in Canada is inevitable and so is the possibility of driving in freezing rain conditions. With temperatures fluctuating around the freezing point, there is a strong possibility of freezing rain conditions developing. This year, many parts of Canada have experienced several bouts of freezing rain and if Environment Canada is right, Ontario will experience freezing rain conditions more often than not. Young Drivers of Canada would l...ike to remind drivers how to navigate the roads under freezing rain conditions. If you don’t have to drive when it is freezing rain then don’t but if you do, here are some tips to follow. Tips on Driving in Freezing Rain Conditions As mentioned, if you don’t have to drive then don’t. Stay at home and watch the ice storm from the safety of your home. If you are going to brave the roads, Young Drivers of Canada suggests the following: 1. Drive for the conditions with extreme caution. Avoid sudden acceleration which may cause a vehicle to skid. 2. Avoid breaking where possible. Breaking, similar to sudden acceleration can cause a vehicle to skid, resulting in loss of control of the vehicle. 3. Leave space. Space allows a driver to react to a situation with more time and avoids using the brakes. By leaving space and easing off the gas, a driver can increase the stopping distance. The greater the distance between you and the next car means the better opportunity to avoid a collision. 4. Give yourself extra time. The commute will be longer so leave extra time to reach your destination. Don’t get stressed by being late to work or school. You will not be the only one and speedy to get there will only create more of a problem. 5. Watch for snowplows. With freezing road conditions, the salt/sand trucks will be out in full force to ensure the roads are maintained. Avoid passing a snowplow. It is safer to stay behind them then trying to pass a large vehicle. 6. Avoid engaging in distracted driving behaviours. Driving in freezing rain conditions require your full attention. Young Drivers of Canada also suggests that all drivers invest in snow tires. The compound of winter tires will help to grip the roads on snow and ice. Drivers should also top up the windshield washer fluid to prevent the rain from freezing on the windshield. Freezing rain can intimidate drivers but if you follow some of these sensible freezing rain driving tips from Young Drivers, your commute can be an enjoyable and safe one!

Some safety tips for you and yours from all of us at PeopleReady! Stay safe this Halloween! Walk Safely... - Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks. - Look left, right and left again when crossing and keep looking as you cross. - Put electronic devices down and keep heads up and walk, don’t run, across the street. - Teach children to make eye contact with drivers before crossing in front of them. - Always walk on sidewalks or paths. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible. Children should walk on direct routes with the fewest street crossings. - Watch for cars that are turning or backing up. Teach children to never dart out into the street or cross between parked cars. Trick or Treat With an Adult - Children under the age of 12 should not be alone at night without adult supervision. If kids are mature enough to be out without supervision, they should stick to familiar areas that are well lit and trick-or-treat in groups. Keep Costumes Both Creative and Safe - Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers and, if possible, choose light colors. - Choose face paint and makeup whenever possible instead of masks, which can obstruct a child’s vision. - Have kids carry glow sticks or flashlights to help them see and be seen by drivers. - When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls. Drive Extra Safely on Halloween - Slow down and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods. Children are excited on Halloween and may move in unpredictable ways. - Take extra time to look for kids at intersections, on medians and on curbs. - Enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully. - Eliminate any distractions inside your car so you can concentrate on the road and your surroundings. - Drive slowly, anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic and turn your headlights on earlier in the day to spot children from greater distances. - Popular trick-or-treating hours are 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. so be especially alert for kids during those hours.
