Plan long trips carefully
BE PREPARED.
Be ready for what you may encounter. You may say this is common sense, and it is. But how many of us jump in our vehicle when the weather looks nice and end up in an ice or snow storm?
Some good suggestions to be prepared for winter driving–the basics–like wearing proper clothing (loose layers, extra gloves, rain gear); keeping a flashlight in the glove box; a blanket, food/water on hand; a bag of sand/salt and extra washer fluid; a windshield scraper; jumper cables.
Try to have at least a half of a tank of gas during the winter season–just in case.
Plan long trips carefully, keep in mind what kind of weather conditions you may encounter.
