Today it is crazy windy and that means unsafe driving conditions on the highways and the byways in the Cowboy State and Cheyenne.  On the Top 5 at 7:45, I'll highlight some tips on how to handle the wind when you're driving. Be careful out there.

  1. Other Cars can blow into you - Keep your distance and stay alert
  2. You Can be blown off your course - Avoid distractions while you're driving and keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road
  3. Watch for debris in the road - Tree limbs, boxes, construction debris on the road can cause damage to your vehicle and a possible car wreck
  4. Emergency Gear - Cell phones, flairs, road triangles, etc should be kept in your vehicle, just in case
  5. Don't Drive - If you're not confident, stay home

The Top 5 at 7:45 airs weekdays with me, Gary Freeman and sponsored by First Education Federal Credit Union.
