Winter driving

When winter weather hits, even the most skilled driver can get into trouble. Here are some tips to help you avoid accidents:

Maintain clear visibility—clear all ice and snow from windows, mirrors and wipers to make sure you can see clearly in all directions. Make sure head and rearlights are clean too.

Prevent slippage—remove ice and snow from shoes and boots to prevent pedal slippage.

Slow down—driving too fast for conditions contributes to many winter weather accidents. Don't follow the vehicle in front of you too closely.

Avoid harsh actions—any quick force input to the tires, including quick acceleration, hard breaking or steering, can contribute to skids. Steer, brake and accelerate slowly.

Avoid distractions—pay attention to road conditions and other vehicles.

Winter tires—are your tires the right ones for winter driving? If you are like most vehicle owners, you probably have "all-season" tires on your vehicle. While they are designed to handle most driving conditions, they may not be suitable in heavy snow. All-season tires can begin to lose their grip when the temperature drops below -10 °C. Winter tires are made for cold and snowy conditions.
