State officials are urging drivers to stay off the frozen highways and streets amid freezing weather conditions. 
However, if you are on the roads, here are some safety tips to help avoid an accident.
.Reduce your speed.
.Go easy on your brakes.
.Turn into a slide (If you’re caught off guard and begin sliding, turn your wheels in the direction that the rear of your car is sliding. It helps to look with your eyes where you want the car to go, and turn the steering wheel in that direction. It is easy to steer too far, causing the car to).
.Avoid hills or other dangerous roads during icy conditions.
The safest way to avoid an accident is to stay off of the roads altogether.
