Snow Driving Tips

 Here are driving tips for snowy or icy days to keep errands safe:

✅ Before You Leave

• Check tires: Make sure they have good tread and are properly inflated.
• Clear snow/ice: Remove all snow from windows, mirrors, lights, and roof.
• Warm up your car: Let the engine run for a few minutes so fluids circulate.

🚗 On the Road

• Slow down: Reduce speed by at least 50% in heavy snow or icy conditions.
• Increase following distance: Keep 6–8 seconds between you and the car ahead.
• Gentle movements: Accelerate, brake, and steer slowly to avoid skidding.
• Avoid cruise control: It can cause loss of traction on slippery roads.

⚠️ If You Skid

• Stay calm: Don’t slam brakes.
• Steer into the skid: Turn the wheel in the direction your rear wheels are sliding.
• Ease off the gas: Let the car regain traction gradually.

🛠 Emergency Kit

• Blanket, flashlight, phone charger, water, snacks, and a small shovel.
