BREAKOUT : How to Prepare for Winter Driving
Winter driving can be challenging due to extreme weather conditions and poor visibility . Here are some Motorserve Top Tips to help you drive safely this season :
1 . Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front , as it takes twice the distance to stop in the rain .
2 . Reduce your speed and accelerate gradually , as wet , and greasy roads can cause skidding .
3 . Brake gently and allow extra distance for braking .
4 . Increase visibility by turning on your vehicle headlights .
5 . Ensure clear headlights for better visibility - consider headlight rejuvenation if they appear cloudy .
6 . Use fog lights in foggy or snowy conditions , or hazard lights with low beam if fog lights aren ’ t available .
7 . Be cautious of water on the road and avoid large puddles , never drive through floodwater .
8 . Check the weather and avoid unnecessary travel during heavy rain , hail , or sleet . Pull over if visibility diminishes .
9 . Take regular breaks during long-distance travel , as driving in poor weather can be tiring .
10 . Always begin with a thorough check of your vehicle ’ s tires and promptly repair or replace them if needed . Also , inspect other safety equipment , including windscreen wipers , battery , lights , and brakes . Safety is paramount , especially during winter when wet conditions can be particularly harsh on vehicles .
