Winter driving tips

  • As the temperature drops and snow begins to fall,
    driving can become more dangerous.  Watch our
    winter driving tips video, and see the checklist
    below to help you prepare for the bad weather
    ahead.

  • Check Your Lights   In winter, daylight is
    shorter so you will need your lights more often. 
    Be sure your headlights, brake lights and turn
    signals function properly.
  • Check Your Tire Pressure Regularly  For every 10
    degrees the temperature drops, the air pressure
    in your cars tires decreases by about a pound.
  • Check Your Brakes   When brake pads wear down or
    your brake fluid is low, you may find that your
    car wont stop as quickly.
  • Check Your Windshield Wipers  Be sure you have
    functional wiper blades that will clear the cold
    rain and snow, and top off your wiper fluid, as
    drivers often use more in winter. 
  • Check Your Battery  Cold temperatures may drain
    your cars battery. If your battery is more than
    3 years old, consider replacing it

Be prepared.  Be sure to fill your gas tank, keep
a snow brush and ice scraper handy, and always
clear snow and ice from the windows and roof of
your car before driving. Drive slowly and keep a
safe distance. Applying the brakes too quickly
may cause your car to skid, so make sure that you
have plenty of time and room to stop.    Perhaps
the best advice is to stay home, if you really
dont have to drive in bad weather! Article
