    OPP REMINDS THE PUBLIC TO PREPARE FOR WINTER DRIVING

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    (ORILLIA, ON) – The Central Region of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) reminds drivers to slow down, stay alert, and stay in control.

    Winter driving conditions can be unpredictable, with icy roads, heavy snowfalls, and reduced visibility creating challenges for drivers.

    The snowfall is expected to continue throughout the weekend in central Ontario. Slow down and adjust your driving to the current road and weather conditions and leave extra space between vehicles as stopping distances are more than double on snow or ice-covered roads.

    The OPP reminds motorists to ensure they are prepared for any situation by carrying a survival kit in their vehicle. To learn what to include in your survival kit, visit the Ministry of Transportation’s (MTO) Winter Driving page. Recommended items include a shovel, blanket, warm clothes, food, booster cables, flashlight, high energy foods, matches and a candle.

    Ensure your cell phone is charged at all times in order to contact emergency services if you experience trouble. If you are in a life-threatening situation, call 9-1-1. Please call the OPP non-emergency number, 1-888-310-1122 for all other matters.

    Visit the MTO website for up-to-date information on road conditions and closures at www.511on.ca.
