Here are some essential tips to get ready for the season:
Check your car before winter weather arrives. Top off the antifreeze, check your windshield wipers and headlights and ensure your oil is changed. Keep your gas tank at least half full to avoid freezing issues. Cold temperatures can lower tire pressure, so inflate your tires properly and monitor them regularly throughout the season.
Always keep a snowbrush and ice scraper in your car to clear off snow completely before driving -- store sandbags or bags of salt in your trunk to help with traction on snowy roads. Pack an emergency kit that includes a blanket, a first aid kit, water and snacks in case of unexpected delays or emergencies.
Driving only when necessary is the best way to stay safe this winter. Plan by stocking up on groceries and essentials before snowstorms. If you must drive, stick to main roads as they are plowed first and are generally safer than back roads.
By taking these precautions, you can stay safe and prepared for the challenges of winter driving.
