Indiana State Police at the Jasper Post are reminding drivers to prepare now for winter road conditions. Troopers say simple steps like checking tire pressure and tread, inspecting batteries and wipers, and keeping winter-grade washer fluid can make a big difference once snow and ice arrive. Drivers are also encouraged to carry an emergency kit with items such as blankets, flashlights, and jumper cables. When on the road, ISP advises motorists to slow down, increase following distance, avoid cruise control, and give snowplows plenty of space. Officials say preparing ahead of time can help prevent crashes and keep drivers safer during winter weather.
