Division 5 (Chesapeake) - VSP responded to approximately 22 crashes. Division 6 (Salem) - VSP responded to approximately 3 crashes. Division 7 (NOVA) - VSP responded to approximately 0 crashes. VSP said they have increased their presence on the roads to handle crashes in the winter weather, but they continue to urge drivers not to drive in areas that are still dealing with the storm. Staying off the roads provides more room for VDOT to make the roads passable. VSP has some tips to share for if you do have to go out in these conditions: Use headlights. Increasing your visibility helps you to avoid slick and dangerous spots on the road, as well as helps other drivers see you better.  Slow your speed. Though state police works closely with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to identify problem areas on Virginia’s highways during a winter storm, drivers still must drive for conditions. Slowing your speed gives you more time to safely react and avoid a crash. Drive your vehicle based on your ability to properly maintain control of your vehicle.  Don’t tailgate. You need increased stopping distance on slick road surfaces. Give yourself more space between vehicles traveling ahead of you to avoid rear end collisions.  Buckle Up. Most crashes that occur during winter weather are caused by vehicles sliding into guardrails, off the road or other vehicles. Wearing your seat belt protects you from being thrown around the inside of your vehicle and suffering serious injury in a crash.  Check Your Vehicle. Make sure your vehicle is in good working order for the conditions. Fill up the tank in advance. Check windshield wipers, windshield wiper fluid, tire tread, battery life, etc.  Don’t leave home without a window scraper, blanket, bottled water, snack, cell phone charger and flashlight.   For the latest in road conditions and updates, please call 511 or go online to the VDOT Virginia Traffic Information Website.
