Preparing Your Vehicle

Before hitting the road during winter, it’s crucial to make sure your vehicle is in good condition. This includes checking your tires for proper inflation and adequate tread depth, making sure your battery is charged and in good condition, and topping off all your fluids, including wiper fluid. Additionally, consider having a winter emergency kit in your vehicle, which should include items such as blankets, a flashlight, and snacks.

Driving Tips

• Slow down and allow extra time to reach your destination
• Increase your following distance to provide more time to react in slippery conditions
• Avoid sudden movements, such as sudden braking or accelerating, as this can cause your vehicle to skid on ice or snow
• Use low gears to maintain traction, especially when driving on hills
• Be aware of black ice, which is difficult to see and can cause your vehicle to suddenly lose traction
