Winter Driving Tips Every Driver Should Know — From Wazzi’s Towing
Winter in our area can change fast—one minute the roads are clear, and the next you’re driving through snow, ice, and low visibility. As temperatures drop, it’s important for drivers to stay prepared and know what to watch out for on the road.
1. Slow Down & Keep Distance
Snow and black ice make stopping harder. Give yourself extra space between you and the vehicle ahead, and take turns slowly to avoid sliding.
2. Clear All Your Windows
Driving with half-cleared windows or mirrors is dangerous. Take a few extra minutes to clear snow and ice so you can see properly in every direction.
3. Keep an Emergency Kit
A blanket, phone charger, gloves, flashlight, and traction aids can make a huge difference if you ever get stuck during a storm.
4. Watch for Hidden Ice
Bridges, rural roads, and shaded areas freeze first. Even if the road looks clear, stay cautious—black ice isn’t always visible.
5. If You Get Stuck, Stay Calm
Trying to spin your tires harder can dig you deeper. If you’re stuck, step back, assess the situation, and call for safe help.
