If you live or traveling to your winter destination, preparation is
one of the most important tips to get you to your destination but to enjoy your
trip to your destination. We have gathered some Department of Transportation
tips and would like to share them with you.
Make sure your brakes, windshield wipers,
defroster, heater and exhaust system are in top condition.
Check your antifreeze and be ready for colder
temperatures. You may want to add special solvent to your windshield washer
reservoir to prevent ice from forming.
Check your tires. Make sure they are properly
inflated and the tread is in good condition. Always carry chains. Make sure they
are the proper size for your tires and are in working order. You might want to
take along a flashlight and chain repair links. Chains must be installed on the
drive wheels. Make sure you know if your vehicle is front or rear wheel drive.
Other suggested items to carry in your car are
an ice scraper or commercial de-icer, a broom for brushing snow off your car, a
shovel to free you car if it is "snowed in", sand or burlap for traction if your
wheels should become mired in snow and an old towel to clean your hands.
It is also a good idea to take along water,
food, warm blankets, and extra clothing. A lengthy delay will make you glad you
have them.
Weather conditions may warrant detouring
traffic from the main roadway. It is strongly suggested that drivers always keep
an updated map containing the areas of travel.
If you have a cellular telephone, pre-load your
local Transportation Information phone numbers for convenient, updated road
conditions.
Put an extra car key in your pocket. A number
of motorists have locked themselves out of their cars when putting on chains and
at ski areas.
