Always drive according to road and weather conditions. By staying alert, slowing down, you’ll have a better chance at maintaining control.
- Keep a distance of three car-lengths between you and the vehicle in front of you
- Keep your vehicle winter-ready with regular maintenance check-ups.
- Keep your fuel tank at least half full
- Keep your windshield washer fluid at least half full. Keep an extra jug in the vehicle.
- Clear all the snow and ice from your windows, lights, mirrors and the roof.
- After starting your vehicle, wait for the frost or fog to clear from the inside of the windows.
- Check the air pressure in the tires regularly. Cold weather decreases air pressure quickly.
