Stay Safe on Snowy Roads: Tips for Winter Driving
As snowflakes begin to fall this weekend, ensure your safety with these essential winter driving tips:
- Slow Down – Reduced visibility and slick roads mean you need to drive slower than usual.
- Increase Following Distance – Give yourself more space between cars in case you need to stop quickly.
- Clear Your Vehicle – Make sure your windows, mirrors, and lights are fully cleared of snow and ice.
- Check Your Tires – Ensure you have good traction for snowy conditions. Consider snow tires if you haven’t already!
- Emergency Kit – Pack essentials like blankets, a flashlight, water, and snacks.
- Know Your Brakes – Gently pump the brakes if you need to stop on ice, or use the anti-lock brakes if your car is equipped with them.
Remember: Better Safe than Sorry! Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. Stay safe this winter!
