Snow is on the horizon as many drivers hit the road for the holidays. While we're no strangers to winter roads covered by a blanket of snow and ice, it's always good to refresh on driving tips for the season. To ensure your safety and the safety of others on the road, you need to be prepared and informed. Here are some essential winter driving tips from Woody's Tire Service to help you navigate snowy roads confidently.
Before hitting the road, ensure your vehicle is winter-ready.
Check the following:
Also make sure you have a car snow brush stored away, as well as anything else you might need in an emergency or a situation where you find yourself stuck in traffic for an extended period of time. Bring along some snacks and water for your trip, as well as blankets. Another good item is a power bank, which can recharge your smartphone.
Always check the weather forecast before traveling. If conditions are severe or traffic will be heavy, consider taking alternative routes.
You will want to weigh the cons and pros of taking different routes, because it might not be the best choice if severe storms are headed your way.
Here are some items to keep in mind:
Relax. You might be in a rush but roads can be treacherous in winter. If you find yourself anxious, remember that your friends and family would rather see you safe than not. You also need to be aware that, while you might be driving slow and steady, there are others on the road who may be driving in an unsafe manner or with a vehicle that isn't well equipped for the weather. It is not uncommon for vehicles to slide into traffic. Make sure to give yourself extra time to come to a stop and to be on the defensive for other drivers.
