Driving Tips for the Winters

Driving Tips for the Winters: If you’ve experienced driving during severe climate conditions, you probably know how dangerous and frightening it is. So, if you plan on traveling this winters, you must know the rules for assuring a safe drive on the snowy and icy roads. In this post, we are going to discuss the top driving tips that will help you keep your peace of mind while driving in adverse weather.

Make Proper Preparations

It is a good idea to switch to winter tires because they provide better traction under icy or snowy conditions. Before you head out, make sure you prepare your winter emergency items and keep them in the boot.

Here are some of the essentials you should store in your vehicle:

  1. Tools for getting your car unstuck from snow: lightweight shovel, ice scraper, and tire chains.
  2. Items for keeping yourself warm and comfortable: blankets, candles, hand warmers, and non-perishable food.
  3. Emergency kit: first aid items, flares, and a flashlight.
  4. Quick fix items: jumper cables, extra washer fluid, and basic repair tools.

Before you head out, make sure you free all windows, mirrors, and the top of your car of frost or snow. Make sure you check our tips for preparing a car for the winters.

Drive Slowly and Smoothly

Avoid making any abrupt stops or turns when driving on slippery roads. Otherwise, your car will start to skid, and you will lose command over it. Keep in mind that one of the main causes of winter collisions is driving too quickly. So, be careful when you’re driving on ice and snow-covered roads. It is better to keep your speed low than to regret not doing so later on.

Avoid Tailgating

Keep in mind that when you are driving on icy or snowy roads, stopping takes much longer. So, avoid tailgating to prevent accidents from occurring. Leave enough room between your car and the one before you.

Before Making Turns, Brake

You must decrease your speed before making turns. To do this, you need to brake slowly. After rounding the corner, you are free to accelerate again.

Know-How to Control Skids

If you start skidding, do not follow your natural instincts. Instead, let your car turn to the skid, then start accelerating. This will transfer the weight of the car from the front to the rear, allowing you to regain control.

Keep the Lights On

It is important to switch your lights on for other drivers to see your vehicle easily. You should make your car stand out against the monochromatic background. You should also bring reflective triangles or vests with you in case you need to get off your car in the middle of the road.
