Winter driving days numbers….but…

As much as we would like to say goodbye to winter – another reminder that we’re not quite there yet.

The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) and the North Dakota Highway Patrol (NDHP) are reminding motorists to drive safe around snowplows and emergency vehicles.    This season there have been nine snowplows hit and four patrol vehicles struck while officers were assisting motorists.

North Dakota maintenance division director Brads Darr says snowplows are heavy and are designed to stay on the road.  Darr says if a passenger vehicle strikes a snowplow – it’s a lot like “hitting a brick wall.”
