December 2011

2. Each winter we are quickly reminded how treacherous winter driving can
be once freezing rain, sleet and snow actually start to fall. Even so, there
are some drivers on these winter weather road conditions who drive like it
is still summer.
To help you stay safe behind the wheel and make this winter season as
safe as possible, here are some winter driving tips to keep in mind.

3. Winter Driving Tips
•Check your tire pressure
•Once cold weather arrives check your tire pressure. Over time, a little air always
escapes and with our busy lives drivers often neglect checking tire pressure.
•Tread depth matters
•Winter grip slips on worn tires. Check your tire tread depth and pressure. [Link to How
to check tread depth]
•Don’t Tailgate
•Keep a safe distance from the
car in front of you.
•Remain calm and Stay Safe
on icy and snowy roads.

4. Winter Driving Tips
•A full set of winter tires is the way to go.
•Winter tires give drivers the extra traction, braking and handling on snow and ice.
A more flexible winter tire tread surface equals more traction and control.

brand or size to find the right tire options, that works best for your car.
