1 About twice the number of accidents occurred on winter Expressway

Every year, the number of accidents increases sharply from early winter around November. Be careful, especially at the entrances and exits of tunnels and on bridges because it is easy to freeze. You can drive safely with early winter equipment.
In addition, the road surface in winter is covered with snow and ice, making it very slippery, and it is extremely dangerous to drive at the same speed and handling as in summer. Always consider what to do if you are driving with extreme caution.
