Clean all snow and ice from your roof, hood, windows, and lights before driving. Ensure your headlights are on, even during the day, to remain visible to others.
Fill your reservoir with high-quality winter windshield wiper fluid that includes a de-icer.
Switch to dedicated winter tires when temperatures consistently stay at or below 7°C (45°F) . These provide significantly better traction on ice and slush compared to all-season tires.
Always keep a kit in your car containing items like a shovel, sand or cat litter for traction, and a brightly colored cloth to signal for help if you get stuck. ❄️ Safe Driving Techniques Winter Weather Driving Tips: Prepare Your Vehicle | NHTSA
