WINTER ROAD TRIP ADVICE FOR A SAFE AND JOYFUL JOURNEY

Whether you’re going over the river and through the woods to Grandma’s house, or heading off for a holiday trip somewhere special, winter road trips are becoming a staple of many families’ years.

But unlike a trip in the spring, summer, or fall, the unpredictable weather that comes with winter can pose many hazards for you and your family on the road.

Here are tips to help you have a safe and happy winter road trip this season.

Check Your Car

Have them check fluids, tires, lights, wipers, brakes, and your battery. For your comfort, have the mechanics also check your car’s heater and defroster.

Ensure your car is equipped for winter emergencies with essentials like a flashlight, spare tire, tire jack, flares, lantern, and jumper cables, along with additional winter-specific items.

Stock Up

Practice Winter Driving

Should you run into bad weather, turn on your lights and take things slow. If other drivers make you feel as if you’re not going fast enough, relax and let them pass you.

If you get ready to head out after a snowstorm, be sure to clear your car completely of snow and ice – Not just the windows.
