Be Careful Out There! Winter Driving Safety Tips
We are well into the winter season, and the weather warnings have just begun. Rain and snowstorms will pummel many cities throughout much of America. Drivers there can expect slush and snow conditions that will add hazard to their commutes. Of course, drivers can minimize these risks by planning ahead and remembering a few safety tips.
1. Make sure your car is winterized. Check your coolant and windshield fluid levels, inspect your windshield wipers, and have your headlights realigned. Preparing now can keep you safe in an emergency.
2. Check the weather forecast and road conditions. You can find your local weather forecast at >weather.com .
3. Have an emergency package. As soon as snow starts to fall from your sky make sure you have a safety kit in case the worst happens. Pack a blanket, a flashlight with batteries, jumper cables, waterproof matches and a can for collecting water.
4. Avoid using cruise control over icy roads. It can cause accidents by kicking in at inappropriate times.
The most important safety weather tips are the most obvious. Wear your seatbelts, drive the right speed for the road conditions, and look out for potential hazards before you get to them. It all begins by taking care and having respect for the road and your fellow driver. Take some extra time and make sure you get there safe.
