Wsdot Traffic Warnings

Wsdot Traffic Warnings - Snow in the Puget Sound region is often wet and slick. With the forecast calling for freezing temperatures for the next several days, take extra care when driving:

Before leaving home, check traffic and weather reports on TV, radio or websites. Statewide travel alerts and road conditions: www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/
Clear snow and ice from car surfaces before driving. Snow on the hood can blow toward the windshield and block your view.
Keep safety equipment, spare parts and food and water in the car. Keep your cellphone fully charged.
Keep your fuel tank at least half-full. Make sure your wiper-fluid reservoir isn't running low.
Drive with headlights on.
Slow down. If possible, avoid driving altogether.
Even when roads are dry, watch out for icy bridges.
Stay at least 15 car lengths (200 feet) back from maintenance vehicles and plows, and don't pass them on the right.
Don't use cruise control.
Use brakes sparingly to avoid skidding.
Don't pump anti-lock brakes to stop.
If you need to pull over, the State Patrol asks you to stay with your vehicle, where you'll be safer. Call for help on your cellphone, or hang a colorful cloth from your window or antenna. More winter driving tips at: www.wsdot.wa.gov/winter/

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone - Police say a man on a Southwest Airlines flight from Las Vegas punched a teenager who refused to turn off his iPhone as the plane approached the Boise airport. Officers arrested 68-year-old Russell E. Miller, of Boise, on suspicion of misdemeanor battery Tuesday. He has been released from jail on bond. Witnesses told police the 15-year-old was playing games and listening to music on his cell phone when flight attendants instructed passengers to turn off their electronic devices because the plane was landing. Witnesses told police that when the teen didn't respond, Miller got angry and punched the boy in the arm. Miller says he "tapped" the teen on the shoulder after he refused to turn off the phone. He told the Idaho Statesman that he may have "overreacted," but that he did not punch the teen. Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone
