Did you know that driving in snowy conditions is almost as bad as driving distracted? The treacherous road conditions reduce visibility and tire adherence, while most drivers fail to take precautionary measures such as driving slowly and carefully. The end result is fatal accidents and property damage to the tune of millions of dollars.<\/p>\n

Like most negative experiences in life, accidents borne out of human error can be avoided by adopting more vigilant practices. Find out how you can drive more carefully in the snow.<\/p>\n

1) Emptying the Exhaust Pipe<\/h2>\n

It is entirely possible that snow or ice got stuck in your exhaust pipe after a storm. The only exit for exhaust emissions is to fill into your car in Fremont. Deadly gases could prove to be fatal in inhaled for long periods, including slow carbon monoxide poisoning that goes undetected. So the first thing you should do is clean out the exhaust pipe.<\/p>\n

2) Cleaning Headlights and Taillights<\/h2>\n

If snow and ice were to cover your car\u2019s headlights and taillights, it would reduce your car\u2019s visibility and increase your chances of head-on collisions, and we\u2019re not talking about the usual fender bender. So take some time out of your schedule and inspect your car to ensure snow and ice doesn\u2019t cause too much damage.<\/p>\n

3) Keep the Gas Tank Half Full<\/h2>\n

One useful tip to avoid problems in the snowy weathers is to keep the gas tank filled at least half way. This prevents the buildup of condensation in the empty portion of the gas tank. If the gas tank freezes, the effect reaches into your fuel lines. You won\u2019t be able to start the car in this condition, and may get stranded in the middle of the road.<\/p>\n

4) Apply Brakes More Carefully<\/h2>\n

Snow increases the time it takes to accelerate, brake and turn the car. Most drivers don\u2019t appreciate how long it can take for braking to bring their car to a halt. The reasonable following distance under normal conditions is about three seconds, but in the snow, it increases to about eight to 10 seconds.<\/p>\n

5) Driving Slow<\/h2>\n

This one is obvious. You need to drive slower than you normally would under ideal conditions. Most speed limits normally don\u2019t take into account snowy driving conditions. So when the snowfall takes a toll on the road, do the right thing by driving below the speed limit. It will take longer reach your destination, but it will save you from spinning and skidding off the road.<\/p>\n

6) Get Winter Tires<\/h2>\n

These will provide your car with better traction, braking, and handling. The following distance is also reduced by about 25 percent, depending on the make and model. It isn\u2019t advisable to trust all-season tires since they don\u2019t offer nearly the same benefits as winter-only tires. They can easily lose their grip as temperatures plummet below 7 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n
