Winter Is Coming: How to Drive in the Snow – Part 2

dreamstime_xxl_48405520Driving in the snow can feel frustrating and scary for anyone, but being prepared, knowing how your car drives normally and having it serviced at a German auto repair shop before winter is key. Here are some other helpful tips:

Don’t Stop

When driving in the snow it is best to avoid stopping whenever possible. When you come to a complete stop you can become stuck and may require quite a lot of power to get back going.  Stopping while driving is unavoidable, but try to avoid coming to a complete stop. Slowly coasting up to stoplights is a great example of what to do.

Drive With Care

Whether you have driven in the snow or it’s your first time, remember to drive with care and patience. It’s easy to become annoyed with those who are obnoxiously slow, but remember, an accident that could end in someone getting seriously injured or worse isn’t worth you getting to where you’re going faster.

Stay Home

If at all possible, stay home on extra icy days. The more congested the roads are, the more likely an accident will occur. Not everyone gets the luxury of not going into work or working from home, but if you don’t have to be out in the conditions, don’t be!

And lastly, stay calm. It’s easy to feel anxious about driving in the snow, but with these tips and your attention fully on the road you will most likely be fine. Remember: Practice makes perfect! And if you really can’t handle driving in the snow, ask to carpool with someone.
