Minnesota DPS Winter Safety

The Department of Public Safety had recently updated their website for the first time since 2011, and we had the opportunity to speak with Commissioner Jacobson.

We first asked him what brought the change to the DPS website.

And with the winter season quickly approaching, what are the most important things for folks to remember?

That includes caution when passing other vehicles while driving.

Speaking of the plows, be sure to not park along the streets during the hours the plows drive through.

Commissioner Jacobson was then asked about any other housekeeping steps people could follow for their vehicles.

What would be some general items to have in a safety kit?

Of course, all this information can be found on their newly formatted website.

Finally, he talked about the weather and the things to keep in mind just in case you were thinking the late winter meant not having to mind these safety precautions.

So remember to stay warm, and drive safe this winter.
