It is especially important to prepare your vehicle for the winter. Traveling with a first aid kit, heavy blanket, and tools to change a flat tire are great for any vehicle. Check that all your tires are aired up AND check that spare tire. #WinterSafety #safedriving

Make sure to give yourself more space/time to stop. Roads are becoming slick so you will need more distance to stop. Give yourself extra time to get to were you are going. The Kootenai County Sheriff's Office wants everyone to have a safe winter driving season.

As most are already aware winter has arrived in the Inland Northwest. Couple things to keep in mind as you drive around during the winter months. Make sure all your windows are clear of snow and ice. It is a violation to have an obstructed view out your windows.
