1. Winter driving tips

2. As the temperature drops and snow begins to fall, driving can become more dangerous.  Watch our winter driving tips video, and see the checklist below to help you prepare for the bad weather ahead.

Check Your Tire Pressure Regularly:  For every 10 degrees the temperature drops, the air pressure in your car’s tires decreases by about a pound. Check Your Brakes:   When brake pads wear down or your brake fluid is low, you may find that your car won’t stop as quickly. • Check Your Windshield Wipers:  Be sure you have functional wiper blades that will clear the cold rain and snow, and top off your wiper fluid, as drivers often use more in winter.  • Check Your Battery:  Cold temperatures may drain your car’s battery. If your battery is more than 3 years old, consider replacing it

3. Be prepared.  Be sure to fill your gas tank, keep a snow brush and ice scraper handy, and always clear snow and ice from the windows and roof of your car before driving. Drive slowly and keep a safe distance. Applying the brakes too quickly may cause your car to skid, so make sure that you have plenty of time and room to stop.    Perhaps the best advice is to stay home, if you really don’t have to drive in bad weather!
