Winter Driving Tips

Well Win­ter has finally arrived here in North­ern Michi­gan! Most of us are excited to get out there and enjoy the activ­i­ties and the rest of us just want to get around safely. Here are a few tips to make our drive a lit­tle safer:

1) Check and main­tain proper tire pressure.

2) Test coolant for proper temperature.

3) Check brake lights and other bulbs.

4) Drive defen­sively with your eyes on the road ahead.

5) Install win­ter wiper blades or our favorite Rain-X Lat­i­tude Blades!

6) Increase your fol­low­ing dis­tance to com­pen­sate for com­pro­mised traction.

7) Brake and accel­er­ate more slowly and watch for black ice.

Be safe and have a great Winter!
