Crime Prevention Tip   Now that winter has arrived the Winnipeg Police Service would like to remind all drivers to "JUST SLOW DOWN" when encountering icy or snow-covered roads. Following these simple tips can help ensure the safety of yourself and your passengers. Plan ahead - When adverse weather conditions occur, give yourself extra travel time so you don't need to rush. Increase the distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you – Adjust this distance according to road conditions and the speed you are travelling. Remember that in winter your vehicle requires a greater stopping distance. Be alert to pedestrians at all times as well as slippery patches - Road conditions can change abruptly in winter. Watch for black ice when approaching bridges and overpasses. Keep windows and windshields clear of ice and snow - Top up your windshield fluid and make sure your defroster and windshield wipers are working properly. Keep your lights on – Allow yourself to be seen when driving in adverse winter conditions. Consider purchasing winter tires - They provide additional traction in cold weather. Tire pressure should also be checked monthly as air pressure decreases in cold weather. Get an emergency car kit – Have the appropriate safety and emergency equipment always readily available in your vehicle.     E-Watch - Your direct connection to information about crime and crime prevention in your community.
