Kurtz On Winter Driving

Northwest Iowa — With winter weather finally arriving in northwest Iowa, motorists have to dust off their winter driving skills.

There have been several law enforcement vehicles struck by other motorists as they’re parked on the side of the road dealing with an accident or traffic stop in recent days. Iowa State Patrol Sergeant Vince Kurtz says that’s a scary scenario.

Kurtz reminds us about Iowa’s Move Over Law.

He tells us motorists are required to move over if they can do so safely.

Kurtz says its important to slow down as soon as you see flashing lights.

We asked the Sergeant how to know if we should call 911 if we spot a dangerous driver.

Sergeant Kurtz’ comments came while he was answering listener questions on Thursday’s KIWA Morning Show.
