   The South Dakota Safety Council checklist for    winter driving: Always use seat belts. Allow plenty of travel time. Clear snow and ice from all vehicle windows, hood, headlights, brake lights and directional signals. Adjust speed to road and weather conditions. Slow down to help avoid crashes and minimize those that occur. Keep a safe stopping distance between vehicles, and leave extra room between your vehicle and snow plows or other removal equipment. Avoid using cruise control. Turn on headlights when it's snowing or sleeting (it's the law).  For free fact sheets, see the SD Safety Council Web site at www.southdakotasafetycouncil.org

During the winter, authorization to use a State vehicle is subject to weather and road conditions.

Students who use state vehicles for official university activities will be required to present proof of financial responsibility. This proof must be a written certificate of any insurance carrier duly authorized to do business in this state certifying that the student has in effect a motor vehicle liability policy. Students and employees must have a valid drivers license.
