This is Mike Barry, vice president for Media Relations at the Insurance Information Institute. What follows are two radio actualities based on written quotes from the news release on winter driving tips.
Segment 1
“Drivers should always avoid speeding and keep their front and rear windshields clear—but these safety measures are critical as we move deeper into the winter season,”
Segment 2
“One of the upsides of the arrival of February and March is that the days are getting longer as spring approaches,” noted Barry. “And federal studies indicate that December and January traditionally have the most total crashes. Nevertheless, the potential hazards of late winter are particularly challenging as drivers in many states must deal not only with snow and ice on some days but heavy winds and rain on others.”
