TORONTO, Nov. 22, 2016 /CNW/ - With winter just a few weeks away, RSA Canada, a leading general home and auto insurer, is urging drivers to exercise more caution on the road than normal.
The warning comes as Canadians prepare for an extreme winter, according to the Canadian Farmers' Almanac.
"Extremely cold temperatures, intense snow storms and blizzard conditions have been forecast for the months ahead, so now is the time to get prepared," RSA Canada spokesperson Brodie Bott says.
"The best defense against this kind of weather is to have a strong offense and plan ahead so you can mitigate any potential danger to you and your loved ones. Whether you're planning to travel this holiday season or just commuting to and from work, drivers will need to take extra precaution when on the road, and give themselves additional time to get to their destination."
"Bad weather doesn't cause accidents, but bad driving habits do," Bott says.
