ODOT gives tips for winter driving<br />

As Ohioans get ready to<br />

drive in the first possible winter<br />

storm this season, the Ohio<br />

Department of Transportation<br />

(ODOT) warns motorists: “In<br />

Ice and Snow, Take It Slow,”<br />

especially on interstates and<br />

state-maintained highways<br />

where speeds are faster and<br />

traffic volumes are higher.<br />

Research shows by the time<br />

the first winter storm hits, most<br />

motorists have forgotten their<br />

safe winter driving skills.<br />

“Because of last year’s mild<br />

winter, many of Ohio’s motorists<br />

haven’t driven in significant<br />

ice and snow in about 20<br />

months,” said ODOT Director<br />

Jerry Wray.<br />

ODOT will make history<br />

this winter by being the first<br />

state in the nation to use greencolored<br />

strobe lights on its<br />

snowplow trucks. Studies show<br />

green lights are more easily detected<br />

by the human eye than<br />

other colors. The new green<br />

lights, along with new white<br />

lights, will be added to the existing<br />

amber lights creating a<br />

color combination unique to<br />

ODOT.<br />

Drivers also can stay safe<br />

–whether it’s the first storm or<br />

last–by following these tips:<br />

•Plan Ahead: Before leaving<br />

home, find out about driving<br />

conditions by going to<br />

ODOT’s premier website<br />

www.BuckeyeTraffic.org. Safe<br />

drivers know the weather, and<br />

their limits. Also, follow<br />

ODOT on Facebook and Twitter.<br />

•See and be Seen: Remove<br />

any snow on your vehicle’s<br />

windows, lights, brake lights<br />

and signals.<br />

•Check the Clock: Leave<br />

plenty of time to reach your<br />

destination safely. It’s not worth<br />

putting yourself and others in a<br />

dangerous situation just to be<br />

on time.<br />

•Turn on your Lights: If you<br />

need to turn on your wipers,<br />

turn on your headlights. It’s the<br />

law.<br />

During last year’s winter<br />

season, there were 16,167 winter-related<br />

crashes on Ohio’s<br />

roadways. Ice and snow related<br />

fatalities on ODOT-maintained<br />

roads decreased by nearly 20<br />

percent– from 21 to 17.<br />

Although crashes on<br />

ODOT-maintained roads make<br />

up only 33 percent of all snow<br />

and ice crashes, in the 2011-12<br />

winter season, nearly 57 percent<br />

of all winter driving related<br />

fatalities occurred on<br />

Interstates, U.S. Routes and<br />

State Routes.<br />

Fire Division, Way Library to<br />

present CPR, AED, first aid classes<br />

The <strong>Perrysburg</strong> Fire Division<br />

and Way Library are partnering<br />

to offer life-saving<br />

CRP, AED (automatic external<br />

defibrillator) and first aid<br />

classes.<br />

Sponsored by the American<br />

Heart Association, these<br />

classes will take place throughout<br />

2013, providing opportunities<br />

for local residents to learn<br />

life-saving skills from certified<br />

instructors.<br />

The American Heart Association’s<br />

CPR and AED learning<br />

programs are designed to<br />

help increase survival rates of<br />

those stricken by cardiac arrest.<br />

Fewer than one-third of<br />

cardiac arrest victims get CPR<br />

help during the critical four to<br />

six minute period after an incident.<br />

Almost 80 percent of<br />

sudden cardiac arrests happen<br />

in the home, and 92 percent of<br />

victims don’t survive, often<br />

because people around them<br />

do not take action and begin<br />

CPR.<br />

Classes are limited to 20<br />

students, and registration is required.<br />

The following classes<br />

will be offered in 2013:<br />

Family and Friends CPR,<br />

from 6 to 8 p.m. on January 16,<br />

May 15, July 17, or September<br />

18. This is a free class, but registration<br />

at the library information<br />

desk is required.<br />

Participants may wish to buy a<br />

book for $5. This class will<br />

teach adult hands-only CPR,<br />

child CPR with breaths, adult<br />

and child AED use, infant<br />

CPR, and choking relief for all<br />
