Tips for Avoiding Winter Car Accidents

While winter driving conditions can be challenging, you can take several steps to minimize your risk of being involved in an accident:

1. Prepare Your Vehicle: Ensure your vehicle is winter-ready by installing winter tires, checking your battery, brakes, and fluids, and keeping your gas tank at least half full.
   
2. Drive Cautiously: Reduce your speed, increase your following distance, and avoid sudden braking or acceleration. Be especially cautious when approaching intersections, bridges, and overpasses, as these areas tend to freeze first.
   
3. Stay Alert: Avoid distractions while driving, such as using your cell phone or eating. Pay close attention to your surroundings and be aware of other vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists.
   
4. Plan Your Route: Check Whitby weather and road conditions before you head out and plan your route accordingly. Avoid unnecessary travel during severe weather events.
5. Be Prepared for Emergencies: Keep a winter survival kit in your vehicle, including a blanket, extra clothing, food, water, a flashlight, and a first-aid kit.
