Winter Driving Tips

Staying Safe On the Road During the Winter

Driving in the winter presents a lot of obstacles and challenges to us on the road. You need to be extra careful to avoid any skidding, which can cause your vehicle to overturn or collide with another speeding vehicle. Icy roads are extremely dangerous, and you need to drive very slow, to make sure that you’re avoiding any potential accidents. It also pays to have a full maintenance checkup of your vehicle beforehand, so that your car is prepared for any winter road conditions. Make sure your brakes, windshield wipers, defroster, heater and exhaust system are in top condition. Here are a few helpful tips to get you through the difficult driving conditions during the winter:

●     Always Have an Emergency Kit - You should always carry a winter emergency kit. The kit should consist of: shovel, ice scraper, tow rope, booster cables, warning lights/road flares, flashlight, blanket, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, a few canned items, gloves, and a fully charged mobile phone.

●     Drive Extra Carefully - You should alway reduce your speed during hazardous driving conditions, such as heavy snow, heavy rain, or icy roads. Slow down on sharp curves or turns, and remember to always brake slowly. You need to have your headlights on at all times during snowy weather conditions. Maintain a safe following distance between all vehicles.

●     Be Alert - Visibility is often limited in the winter by weather conditions. You need to pay extra careful attention to the road, and drive slower than usual. You need to make sure that your windshield is completely clear. Use the car defroster and a clean cloth to keep the windows free of fog.
