Driving on snow

Here are five helpful tips for driving your car on snow:

1. Slow down and anticipate: Reduce your speed and anticipate changes of direction or necessary stops in advance to avoid losing control of your car. Driving on snow can be slippery, so reducing your speed is key to staying in control.
2. Use winter tires: Winter tires provide better grip on snow and ice, which improves safety. Make sure your tires are in good condition and well inflated before you hit the road.
3. Avoid hard braking: Avoid braking snow. Instead, reduce your speed gradually and use the brakes gently. If you need to brake urgently, gently pump the brakes instead of pressing them.
4. Stay focused: Driving on snow requires constant attention. Avoid distractions and stay focused on the road, watching for other drivers, pedestrians and possible obstacles.
5. Drive safely: Make sure your car is prepared for snow by checking the coolant level, heating system, windshield wipers and headlights. Keep a first aid kit, flashlight and blankets in your car in case of an emergency. Be safe and drive safely!

And in any case, take the time to look at the landscape, it’s worth it! You are on holiday, with family or friends!
