Truth be told, many drivers forget how to drive when but it's more often than just when seasons change, some even forget the rules of the road and how to navigate every time it rains.

Whatever the cause, Rockford Police shared a graphic with tips for traveling during winter weather. The best part? They used Baby Yoda (a.k.a. "the child").
