WINTER DRIVING PLEAS FROM THE STATE PATROL

Minnesota State Patrol Sergeant Curt Mowers said too many of us have forgotten what winter driving is supposed to be like. Sergeant Mowers said he's willing to give you a warning this time, but the next time you meet on the highway, he's not so sure. Minnesota drivers are following too closely and driving too fast for highway conditions. And way too often he sees car windshields and lights covered with snow and ice. Mowers said it makes it more difficult to operate the vehicle if you can't see where you're going.
