Montgomery County Fire and Rescue reminds residents to be safe when driving during hazardous weather.

Looks like a good time for a refresher!
Today's #DYK: Turn signals are often disabled when hazard lights are turned on. This can prevent other drivers from anticipating when you need to turn or switch lanes. Use headlights & taillights when navigating through bad weather. #BeSafe pic.twitter.com/gw2suMUK4N
