1.The best way to stay safe during winter driving conditions is to avoid them altogether. If it’s possible for you to avoid driving in the snow and ice, stay put. But hunkering down isn’t always an option. If you have to hit the road when it’s snowy, icy, or wet, make sure both you and your car are prepared for safe winter driving.
2.Drive slowly
3.Accelerate and decelerate slowly.
4.Know your brakes.
5.Don’t power up hills.
6.Use low beams: Use low beams instead of high beams, which can reduce visibility.
Prepare your vehicle:
7.Check your oil, tires, battery, headlights, rear lights, and brakes. Add antifreeze to prevent your coolant from freezing. Install heavy duty windshield wipers.

Proper tire selection is very important.Check the weather forecast: Ensure you are aware of the weather conditions and snowfall predictions. The weather can be unpredictable sometimes; however, checking the latest forecast can go a long way in keeping you safe. Keep an eye on weather updates throughout your journey
