Road safety
Winter driving
Ice, snow, slippery highways — driving in winter conditions can be both challenging and frustrating. Here are some tips to keep you and your loved ones safer on the road.
Be prepared
It's important to be prepared if you have to drive on snowy winter roads. Along with slowing down, it's important to have good winter tires and check them regularly as low temperatures can reduce tire pressure. Pack a winter emergency kit in your vehicle in case you get stranded or stuck. Your emergency kit should include:
First aid kit
Emergency food and water
Spare warm clothing
Flares or matches and lighter, candles
Shovel and traction mat, sand or kitty litter (non-clumping)
Battery jumper cables
