Hitting the road in the winter can be rough, but taking steps to make sure you’re protected against the elements while you’re driving can go a long way in helping you stay safe. At Senz Insurance Agency Inc., we’re proud to serve the Beloit, WI area.
Let’s take a look at some tips to help you stay safe when you hit the winter roads:
Keep an Emergency Kit
No matter how well you stay on top of car maintenance, getting stranded due to a breakdown is a possibility. It’s important that you keep an emergency kit in your car to ensure that you won’t be left freezing in the event that your car breaks down and you have to wait for help.
Here are a few things you’ll want to keep in your car’s emergency kit during the winter:
Bottled water and non-perishable snacks (granola bars are a good choice)
- Flares
- A charged emergency cell phone battery
- Space blanket
- A list of emergency numbers in the event that your phone runs out of battery and you need to use someone else’s phone to call for help
Check Your Tires
Worn-out tires are dangerous any time of year but can pose an especially serious safety risk when the roads get slick. It’s a good idea to take a look at your tires and make sure they have appropriate tread levels so you don’t find yourself slipping and sliding when winter brings its worst.
Watch the Weather
Winter storms can hit quickly, and it’s important that you keep an eye on the weather to know what to expect. Be sure to take a look at your favorite weather app before you head out for long trips.
