Winter driving tips

In winter, accidents occur more often, and they’re usually more serious. Reduce your risk with these quick tips

• If you can't stop and have almost lost control of your car, be aware of your surroundings. A snow bank may reduce chance of serious injury.
• If you slide off the road and get stuck in the snow, don’t step on the gas, try to use higher gears to get out. They deliver less power to the drive wheels, so your wheels spin less.
• Slow down and follow the speed of the traffic in general. Over-confidence in poor driving conditions, can lead to serious accidents and auto insurance claims.
