Red Serge tip:
As winter settles in, it’s time to make sure your vehicle is ready for the season. Before hitting the road, take a few minutes to check that your car is in good condition for winter driving. Here are some key reminders:
• Winter Tires Matter: Ensure your vehicle is equipped with proper winter tires and that the tread depth is sufficient for safe traction.
• Road Conditions Can Be Deceptive: Even when roads look clear, cold temperatures make asphalt slicker than usual. Ice can form unexpectedly, especially in shaded areas or on bridges.
• Slow Down and Stay Alert: Reduced visibility and slippery surfaces mean you should drive at safe speeds and increase your following distance.
• Plan Ahead: Give yourself extra time to reach your destination. Leaving earlier helps avoid the temptation to rush, which can lead to dangerous situations. Winter driving requires patience and preparation.
By taking these steps, you’ll help keep yourself and others safe on the road.
