So plan ahead for the drive ahead, urges the Ontario Safety League. Allow at least 10 to 15 minutes before every trip for snow removal and general cold weather conditioning of your car to meet prevailing weather conditions. For a systematic check, the League recommends these winter sight-saving tips: 1) Remove snow, frost, or ice glaze from the entire windshield and all windows. 2) Clean off headlights and taillights so that other drivers can see them clearly. 3) Turn on your heater for a minute or two before using the defroster so humidity won't fog the windshield when it hits the cold glass. 4) Use your wipers and washer as often as required to prevent road spatter build-up. 5) Stop and wipe outside lights and mirrors from time to time to control spatter, snow, or moisture build-up. 6) Keep lights on low beam when driving in fog or heavy snowfall. _ Simcoe East MPP seeks more action Al McLean, MPP Simcoe East, has contacted the Minister coming up for. re- negotiation," wrote his colleagues.
