Preparing for Driving in the Winter
Preparing to avoid a winter weather accident in NYC requires learning how to drive safely and defensively. Additionally, motorists need to develop safety rules to follow, just in case of treacherous driving conditions. Here are some precautions and tips for NYC winter weather driving:
- Check tire pressure: Make sure that your vehicle’s tires have the proper amount of air in them given temperature and potential road conditions.
- Consider winter tires: Winter tires can assist with traction, avoid skid-outs and help with the effective navigation of turns on wet roads.
- Servicing and Inspection: A skilled mechanic can check to ensure that all of your fluids are full and your battery is in good condition.
- Fuel-up: Top off your tank regularly. Being stuck on the side of the road without gas in a storm is a nightmare; and dangerous.
