Driving through winter: Expert tips from the weather service for a safe journey

Roads are frequently made dangerous by winter’s icy grip, which results in more than 480,000 injuries and over 6,000 weather-related vehicle fatalities annually. Safety should be your first concern when you’re on roads that are covered in snow or freezing rain. Go more slowly and be careful. It’s wise to anticipate icy patches on the road and modify your driving in response when the temperature is close to freezing. Keep an eye out for ice buildup on tree limbs and power lines, since they could shatter and fall. Steer clear of driving in these situations at all costs. However, if you must go outside, avoid touching downed power lines and take paths with fewer trees. If you come across one, call 911 right away. Here are some more driving guidelines for winter conditions:

Tell us about your travel itinerary:

Make sure to let relatives or friends know where you’re going, how you plan to get there, and when you expect to arrive when you’re leaving town in dangerous winter conditions.

Get your car ready:

A windshield scraper, jumper cables, a small shovel, flashlight, mobile phone, blanket, extra warm clothes, drinking water, and high-calorie non-perishable food are all necessary wintertime items for your car. Make sure your petrol tank is full.

Remain composed when stranded:

Remain calm if you end up trapped. Tell someone where you are and what’s going on. Avoid trying to get to safety by foot. To indicate that you need help, fasten a piece of fabric to the antenna or mirror of your vehicle. Use the dome light and flashers to increase the visibility of your car.

Watch out for snow plows:

Watch for snow plows and give them plenty of space to go by. You should only pass a plow when you can see the road well ahead.

Examine the state of the roads:
