Recognizing These Natural Disaster Warning Signs Will Save Your Life

Not only is black ice a danger for pedestrians, but black ice is also one of the leading causes of automotive deaths in the world. It’s always best to drive slowly and carefully in sub-freezing temperatures, and always be on the lookout for shiny surfaces in your headlights.

If you do see someone attempting to walk on gray or clear ice, stop them immediately.
