Equip your vehicle with a winter weather kit From Captain Paul Blanton Frankfort, KY - As winter weather approaches, Gov. Andy Beshear and the Kentucky State Police (KSP) are providing a list of essential items motorists should have in their vehicles, along with important reminders for obtaining road and weather information. "It's that time of year when we all need to ensure our vehicles have safeguards in place for the winter weather driving season," said Gov. Beshear. "This is a great opportunity for all of us to assemble winter driving kits to keep our families safe if we are stranded on the roadways due to inclement weather." KSP encourages all drivers to create a winter weather kit that includes the following items:
"Dialing 911 for road and weather conditions can tie up emergency lines and hinder the response to critical situations," said KSP Spokesperson Capt. Paul Blanton. "We encourage citizens to use our social media channels to access up-to-date information efficiently and allow emergency services to focus on immediate concerns." KSP will use Facebook, Twitter and website to share winter weather updates. Before traveling, drivers are encouraged to check road and weather conditions by visiting the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet online traffic, roadway and weather portal website at https://goky.ky.gov/. Blanton said even the best drivers need to take it slow when rough weather hits. "There are three actions you do most when you drive: accelerate, turn and brake. In winter weather, you should only do one of those actions at a time. Attempting more than one of these actions at once can cause slide-outs or spin-outs," says Blanton. "When traveling downhill, if possible, switch to a lower gear and gently tap your brakes. This helps to avoid burning your brakes, and in winter weather, it helps keep traction."
