Prepare an emergency kit.\u00a0<\/strong>Most drivers will already have an emergency driving kit in their car but your winter kit should include items such as an ice scraper and de-icer, warm clothing, a blanket, a snow shovel, a torch and high visibility clothing. Find out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uk-carfinance.co.uk\/car-emergency-kit\/\">what you should include in a car emergency kit<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Keep your distance.<\/strong> Stopping distances increase significantly in adverse weather so if you&#8217;re battling strong winds, heavy rain, snow or icy roads, you should always increase the distance between you and other road users.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Check your car over. <\/strong>Before the winter months, you should check your car over to make sure it&#8217;s in good condition. You should pay close attention to your tyres as your grip can be reduced in the winter months. You could either invest in winter tyres or make sure your current tyres meet the minimum tread depth of 1.6mm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Take your time. <\/strong>When driving in the winter, you should always leave extra time. Whether it&#8217;s leaving earlier in the morning, leaving time to plan your journey, checking the weather forecast before you go or leaving extra space between you and the driver in front, winter driving is all about forward planning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Only drive if necessary.\u00a0<\/strong>Last but not least, when the bad weather hits, it&#8217;s recommended that you should only drive if absolutely necessary. Fewer cars on the road mean less chance of road accidents and it can be worth asking yourself if you <em>really<\/em> need to make that journey or not.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;How to drive in the snow&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#FE9125&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to drive in the snow:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_3,1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Before you set off, you should have a fully de-iced and clear windscreen, clear any snow off your car or van and make sure you can see out of all windows or mirrors.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uk-carfinance.co.uk\/fuel-savings-tips\/\">have plenty of fuel for the journey<\/a> ahead and also if you get stuck and need to keep warm.<\/li>\n<li>Try to pull away in second gear if possible and ease your foot off the clutch slowly to avoid wheelspin.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid harsh acceleration or braking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.uk-carfinance.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/undraw_winter_magic_5xu2-300&#215;219.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;fun in the snow&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Try to slow down using your gears and dropping down instead of braking.<\/li>\n<li>Drive in the highest gear possible for your speed.<\/li>\n<li>If you&#8217;re driving up a hill, try to drop back to reduce the need for stopping on the hill and keep a constant speed while moving.<\/li>\n<li>Daytime running lights are not usually enough in heavy snow and you will have to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uk-carfinance.co.uk\/how-to-change-headlight-bulb\/\">use your headlights<\/a> in adverse weather.
