Though winter is coming, you still need a transportation vehicle. If you prefer to use your own car, then you must understand that driving during winter is very different when you driving during other seasons. Winter has many things to surprise you on the street.

Chang the ordinary car tire to the tire tread condition. Remember that during winter the road would be covered with ice and snow. Thus, your car’s tire must have good traction such as tire tread condition. This kind of tire can shed the road grime, ice, and snow efficiently and quickly so that has better traction. Better traction can prevent uncontrolled slide on the road. To give more safety, make sure the tire pressure is fit with cold weather so that the tire can give its maximum traction.

Next, check your front windshield elements. Visibility is also an important key during driving in winter. Check the wiper blades are in good condition.
