Defensive and safe driving remain good habits no matter what the season is. However, some may find taking additional steps to drive safer during the winter could cut down on risks. Winter weather brings hazards, and drivers do need to be on the alert for their safety and that of others.
Staying within the speed limit or adjusting the vehicle to a slower speed based on road conditions becomes necessary on icy roads. Keeping a safe distance from other vehicles might be wise, too. Are there snow tires on the car? Such tires could improve traction, another help.
Try not to waste fuel with excessive idling or choosing the wrong route. Plan trips properly, and make sure people know where you are going. Keep emergency items in the trunk in case of an accident or stalled vehicle.
Getting pre-winter season maintenance performed might be worthwhile. LITHIA CHEVROLET BUICK GMC OF HELENA may accommodate such requests.
