When it comes to driving in the winter, Steve Boekholder with Les Schwab, says make sure to slow down. Whether you're cornering, stopping, accelerating, or driving on a straightaway, reducing speed is the key to safe driving in the snow and ice.
Before you hit the road, check your tire tread. You can use the common penny test, or stop by your local Les Schwab Tire Center and let them expect the tires at no charge.
While you're there, we invite you to help with Candy Cane Corner.
Fox 13's The PLACE and Les Schwab are teaming up for Candy Cane Corner, a holiday gift program for the families served by The Road Home and Volunteers of America, Utah and First Step House.
Last year, through the generosity of the community, Candy Cane Corner provided holiday gifts to more than 2,000 Utahns in need.
We're hoping to grow the program to serve even more.
