Tis’ The Season – Winter Is Coming

We are already well into Fall, and Winter will be here before we know it!

With Winter comes many things such as the holidays and family time but it also comes with snow, ice and storms, which can sometimes lead to unsafe road conditions.

With the colder days approaching, it is important that you prepare for roads to be covered in snow or ice from overnight temperatures that drop below freezing. It is always good to review good habits for winter driving to keep you safe and others while driving out on the road. In order to help you stay safe this winter, use some of the following precautions:

• Wear your seatbelt 

• Drive slowly

• Avoid distractions

• Make sure your brakes work 

• Check your tires

• Make sure you have windshield wiper fluid

• Increase your distance between cars

• Remove snow and ice from your windows and mirrors 

These are only a few precautions but safe driving begins before you even get on the road. Routine maintenance is the best way to stay safe year round, but it is important to be extra cautious as we head into these winter months.
