Winter weather swept through North Carolina last week, leaving roads coated in snow and ice. To improve driving conditions, North Carolina Department of Transportation crews applied thousands of gallons of salt brine.

Rick Sapienza, Dean of Transportation Technologies at Wake Tech Community College, joined Jeff Hamlin to explain how salt brine impacts vehicles and why thorough cleaning is essential.
