Winter driving can be tricky with icy roads, snow, and reduced visibility. To stay safe, here are some key winter driving tips—and why having the right auto insurance is crucial:
Winter Driving Tips:
- Slow Down & Increase Distance: Allow extra space and time to react on slippery roads.
- Check Tires & Brakes: Ensure good traction with proper tire inflation and brake functionality.
- Keep Your Gas Tank Half-Full: Prevent fuel line freezing and be ready for delays.
- Prepare an Emergency Kit: Pack essentials like blankets, a flashlight, jumper cables, and first-aid supplies.
- Clear Snow & Ice: Remove snow from all windows, lights, mirrors, and the roof for full visibility.
- Drive Smoothly: Avoid sudden movements on icy roads to maintain control.
Why Auto Insurance Matters in Winter:
- Comprehensive Coverage: Protects against damage from winter weather, like fallen branches or ice storms.
- Collision Coverage: Covers repairs if you're involved in an accident on icy roads.
- Liability Protection: Pays for damage or injuries if you're at fault in a winter accident.
- Medical Coverage: Covers medical bills through Personal Injury Protection (PIP) or Medical Payments.
