CHP Truckee GPS warning

With winter weather on the way CHP Truckee is reminding drivers not to attempt to use GPS shortcuts to avoid chain controls. 

According to deputies, "Just because your GPS says it's a shortcut, doesn't mean it won't lead you straight into a snowbank or ditch!"

The California Highway Patrol is asking you to follow posted chain controls, stick to maintained roads, and don't let GPS make questionable decisions for you.
