Winter Driving Safety: A Crucial Reminder from the DOT

As winter settles in and weather conditions take a turn for the worse, it is essential to prioritize safety on the roads. The Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued an urgent reminder about the dangers of winter driving, particularly around snow removal vehicles.

Cautionary Videos Highlighting Dangers

In a recent communication, the DOT shared videos showcasing the reckless behavior of some drivers during snowy conditions. One notable incident involved a driver striking a snow plow and colliding with its wing blade in Tama County. This kind of accident not only poses a risk to the drivers involved but also endangers the operators of the snow plows who work diligently to keep the roads clear and safe.
