Winter Driving Tips:
- Avoid driving when you are tired, at all costs. Being rested behind the wheel means you will be more alert which will lead to fewer hazards and potential collisions.
- DO NOT let your vehicle warm up in an enclosed area, such as a garage.
- Always make sure your tires are filled to the correct PSI number.
- To avoid gas line freezes, always keep your gas tank filled to at least a half tank.
- In snowy, cold, or rainy weather, avoid using your parking brake.
- In those same weather conditions, avoid using cruise control.
- ALWAYS look and steer in the direction you want your vehicle to go in.
- ALWAYS wear your seatbelt in your vehicle no matter the duration of your trip.
- Check the forecast, road conditions, and traffic before heading out, if roads are closed or look bad – stay home and do not risk your safety.
- Have your vehicle checked by a technician to ensure it is in proper working condition and can conquer winter weather with ease!
