Travel Advice From Montana's Snowplow DriversMontana keeps highways open throughout the winter, but travelers face tough conditions at times. Montana's snowplow drivers offer this advice:
See and be seen. Keep your headlights and taillights clean, especially in stormy weather. Keep windows clean and make sure defrosters work well. If snow has built up on your vehicle overnight or after a break from driving, clear it away so it doesn't blow off and obscure your windows.
Leave plenty of room between your vehicle and those around you. Drive defensively. Don't assume the other vehicle can or will stop at intersections. Test the road. Don't wait until you have to stop to test your traction. Watch for a safe place and then test your brakes. If road conditions seem to have changed, look for a safe place and test braking again.
Give yourself extra time to travel in winter. Being in a hurry in a storm or on icy roads is sure to get you in trouble. Passing when you can't see ahead and driving too fast for road conditions cause serious accidents in Montana each year.
Finally, leave the cruise control off for winter driving. It can accelerate your vehicle just as you hit a patch of ice or a slippery bridge deck.
Always be prepared with road and weather information before you set out on your way. Call 800-226-ROAD (7623) from the U.S. or Canada for current Montana road and weather conditions.
