The snow is falling and it’s time for a refresher course on some winter driving safety tips for when you head out for the holiday season! Especially if your plans find you traveling on the highway! With everyone out and about to visit family for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and many other holidays there is a higher likelihood of traffic, agitated driving, and accidents!

Destination Kia’s Winter Driving Tips: 

  • Be alert and allow more distance between your vehicle and others.
  • Use your brakes carefully.  Brake early and carefully as it takes more time and distance to stop in adverse conditions.
  • Don’t use “cruise control” in wintry conditions.
  • Be courteous to other drivers.
  • Keep to the right except to pass, using turn signals to alert other drivers of your intentions.
  • Always buckle your seat belt and require your passengers to do the same.
  • Reduce speeds. Remember that the posted speed limit is for ideal travel conditions.
  • Allow for extra travel time or consider delaying trips if the weather is inclement.
  • Don’t use your hand-held cell phone while driving, as mandated by law.
  • Use your headlights, as required by law.
