The forecast is calling for a wintry mix of rain and snow, which means slick road conditions. Remember that areas such as bridges, ramps and overpasses tend to freeze first and stay frozen longer than other areas of road. Drive Slow on Ice & Snow. More at michigan.gov/WinterDriving

It can take up to ten times longer to stop your vehicle on snowy and/or icy roads. Slow down and allow more room between your vehicle and the one ahead of you. This gives you more time to react and brake, reducing your crash risk. Drive Slow on Ice & Snow. michigan.gov/WinterDriving

Yellow is the color of fall—because school buses are back on the road. Motorists, drive with extra caution near school buses, and watch for children. Parents, teach your kids that the bus stop is not a place to play and to stay 10 feet away from the bus until it's time to board.

Michigan law prohibits a driver from reading, manually typing, or sending a text message while driving. Exceptions are in place for reporting crashes, crimes, or other emergencies. The fine for a first offense is $100. The fine doubles for subsequent offenses. #UDriveUTextUPay
