Plan Your Trips Wisely
Stay one step ahead by checking the weather forecast before embarking on your journey. Leave extra time for unexpected delays and take regular breaks to stay alert.
Illuminate the Way
In winter's dim light, visibility is crucial. Ensure your lights are clean and always on. During storms, switch to low beams to avoid reflecting off snowflakes and ice.
Snow and Ice Removal
Clear all snow from your vehicle before starting your journey to prevent it from blowing onto the road and affecting the cars behind you.
Always Be Prepared
Pack an emergency kit that includes essentials like a mobile phone charger, warm clothes, and items to help you in case of a breakdown. Find a comprehensive checklist here: Winter Breakdown Kit Checklist.
Smart Apps for Winter
Download helpful apps such as Waze, Android Auto, and Apple Car Play to aid in trip planning and navigation, keeping you safe on the go.
Visibility is Key
Fog lights and snow chains can be your allies in challenging conditions, ensuring you dazzle other drivers less and see more clearly.
Stay Worry-Free
In icy and snowy conditions, remember to pull away in second gear to improve traction and reduce the risk of wheel spin. Keep in mind that stopping distances can increase significantly, so maintain a safe following distance.
