HOW TO DRIVE SAFELY IN WINTER WEATHER 3 Tips to Remember This Holiday Season The holidays are supposed to be a bright time with friends and family — not a period of recovery in the hospital after a car crash. To keep yourself safe on the road this winter and avoid painful collisions, use these three tips. 1. Keep your trips to a minimum during lousy weather. If hail is thundering down or it’s snowing sideways, the best way for you to stay safe is to avoid going out altogether. Postpone your grocery trip or that dinner with your friend, stay over at your sister’s house instead of driving home, put off your holiday road trip until tomorrow, and consider grabbing a hotel instead of driving home from the airport. Staying in may be inconvenient, but it’s much better to be inconvenienced for a day than injured for a lifetime! If you wait, it will allow the city to plow the roads and give the storm time to die down. 2. If you have to go, be slow ! When you’re on the road in bad weather, exercise caution and stay far away from other cars. You never know when another driver will hit a patch of ice and spin into your lane. If you look at every other car as a potential hazard, you’ll be ready when something does happen. 3. There’s no shame in pulling over. If the weather is worsening and you’re starting to get nervous, follow your gut and pull into the nearest gas station or Dairy Queen parking lot to wait out the storm. There’s no shame in pulling over — in fact, it’s the safe, responsible thing to do. Just be sure to notify anyone expecting you that you’ve stopped on the road so they don't worry. Ultimately, safe winter driving comes down to common sense. Listen to your instincts when they tell you to slow down, stop, call in sick to work, or take the long way around. If you still end up in a car crash, call our team for help — and tell your friends and family to do the same! We’ll fight to secure compensation for them and take the stress of the crash away so they can focus on the holidays.

In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, peanut butter, and softened butter. Mix until evenly combined. 3. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the lined cookie sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until firm. 4. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate candy coating in increments of 30 seconds, stirring occasionally until smooth. 5. In the same bowl, use skewers to dip peanut butter balls into the chocolate before placing them on a lined cookie sheet so they can harden. 6. Chill until ready and then serve!
