Cookeville PD Encourages Safe Driving

Cookeville Police want everyone to drive safely in the rain.

The forecast throughout the Upper Cumberland includes rain, thanks to the remnants of Hurricane Harvey.

Major Carl Sells said drivers should check their windshield wipers to make sure they’re clear before heading out. When you’re driving, keep a safe distance between your car and the one in front of you. Also, make sure you have plenty of room to stop if you have to hit the brakes.
