I think winter is finally here so here are some quick tips we all should be aware of.
Prepare Your Vehicle:
Before the worst seasonal weather arrives, make sure your vehicle is ready for winter. This includes checking your tires, brakes, battery, wiper blades, and all fluid levels. Also, ensure that your heater and defroster are in strong working condition.
Maintain a Safe Following Distance:
Tailgating is dangerous in any condition, but it's especially risky in winter. In snowy conditions, it’s wise to maintain a ten-second following distance, which will help to prevent skidding into the car in front of you when traffic slows.
Plan Ahead:
Check the weather and road conditions before you start your journey. If possible, delay travel when weather conditions are severe. Plan your route and inform someone of your travel plans, including your estimated arrival time.
Use Your Lights:
Turn on your headlights to improve visibility, even during the day. Ensure your taillights and turn signals are also functioning correctly. Keep your vehicle visible to other drivers, especially in dark and snowy conditions.
