  If you live in an area where you get ice and snow in the winter the biggest risk you have is injuries from slips and falls on ice and snow. Preventing falls is very important because many injuries can be serious or even life threatening...particularly if you older. Winter driving safety tips often emphasize:
  

• How to control skids?
• What to carry in order to keep warm or communicate if I get stranded?
  All very important considerations. But it's also important that you have the ability to move safely outside your car.

• If you're in an accident on icy roads and get out of the car to exchange insurance information, you could sustain worse injuries from a fall than from the accident itself.
• It's important to be able to move fast to get out of the way if another car loses control and heads your way.
• If you have to leave your vehicle to get help you want to move quickly and safely.
