Winter driving can be tricky. Roads and highways that accumulate snow and ice can be hazardous to drive. Here are some tips to help you stay safe on the roads:
- Make sure to plan ahead and check the weather forecast, as well as road conditions..
- Always make sure your car has been serviced and is in good working order before setting out.
- Make sure your tires are properly inflated and have the right amount of tread, to help maintain good grip on slippery surfaces.
- Slow down and be extra cautious when driving in icy or snowy conditions.
- Make sure to leave extra space between you and other vehicles, and increase your following distance when driving in winter weather.
- Use your headlights and turn on your wipers and defrosters when needed.
- Don't forget to keep an emergency kit in your car, in case you get stranded.
- Finally, if you find yourself in an emergency situation, don't hesitate to call for help.
I hope these tips help you stay safe this winter!
