11 winter driving tips to keep you safe on the roads
The winter months can be treacherous for drivers. With colder temperatures, snow, and ice on the roads, it can be difficult to stay safe while driving. In this blog post, we will discuss 11 winter driving tips that will help you stay safe on the roads this season!
If you want to stay safe on the roads this winter, make sure to follow these tips. We’ll teach you how to drive in the snow, avoid accidents, and more!
- Always make sure to give yourself extra time to get where you’re going. This way, you won’t have to rush and can take your time driving.
- Be aware of black ice. This is a thin layer of ice that forms on the roads and can be very dangerous. If you think there might be black ice on the road, slow down and drive carefully.
- Increase your following distance. It takes longer to stop on icy roads, so you’ll want to give yourself more space between you and the car in front of you.
- Know how to handle skids. If your car starts to skid, don’t panic! Instead, gently turn the wheel in the direction you want the car to go.
- Use your headlights. Headlights help you see and be seen by other drivers. Make sure to turn them on whenever it’s raining, snowing, or foggy outside.
- Clean off your car before you start driving. Snow and ice can obscure your vision, so it’s important to clear off your windshield, mirrors, and lights before you hit the road.
- Don’t use cruise control in winter weather. Cruise control can cause your car to speed up if you hit a patch of ice, which can lead to an accident.
- Be extra careful when passing plows and sanding trucks. These vehicles are often larger than other cars on the road and can kick up snow, making it hard to see.
- Don’t brake suddenly. Sudden braking can cause your car to skid, so it’s important to slow down gradually when approaching a stop sign or red light.
- Always stay alert while driving. This means no texting, talking on the phone, or anything else that would take your attention away from the road.
- Finally, if you do end up in an accident, stay calm and call for help right away. Don’t try to move your car unless it’s safe to do so. And never leave the scene of an accident without exchanging information with the other driver first!
