Winter Driving refers to the act of operating a vehicle during the winter months when road conditions may be affected by adverse weather such as snow, ice, sleet, freezing rain, and low temperatures. Winter driving presents unique challenges and hazards that can increase the risk of accidents, collisions, and vehicle damage.
Insurance coverage helps protect drivers and vehicles against winter driving-related losses, liabilities, and damages, while insurance companies promote risk management and prevention strategies to mitigate the impact of adverse winter driving conditions on road safety and insurance claims.
Driving in adverse weather conditions can be downright nerve-wracking. It can also be very dangerous. Being aware of how to modify your driving during heavy rain, snow and fog can help you stay calm and safe during your journey. Consider the following tips when driving in extreme weather.
Neglecting to fully clear snow and ice from your vehicle’s roof and windows isn’t just risky but could lead to hefty fines and legal consequences. Please take the extra few minutes to make sure your car is properly cleared to protect yourself and others on the road.
