Driving through winter poses risks that can be overcome with a few simple tips:

  • Carry emergency kit, heavy bag of sand in trunk; weight will lend traction on icy roads
  • Check antifreeze level to protect engine
  • Check battery; winter weather can cut battery life
  • Replace windshield wipers
  • Keep tires properly pressurized
  • Maintain gas tank at least half full

Winter driving can be both challenging and stressful. Especially when you come across black ice. Road accident claims shoot up around winter time, so you need to make sure you’re not in this statistic and drive safe.
