More Winter Driving Tips

Another blast of wintry weather may be on the way. Snow and ice are tricky to drive on, but with some common sense and defensive driving you can stay out of our Body Shop!

1) Clear snow and ice off all windows and away from lights, signals, etc. Make sure you can see and make sure others can see what you are planning to do.

2) Drive Slow - drive for the conditions. It is ok to drive under the posted speed limit. Remember, that speed limit is for clear pavement and warm temps.

3) Keep your vehicles tires inflated properly.

4) Leave plenty of room for stopping. (this means you may have to drive slower)

5) Bridge decks and exit ramps tend to be slicker than the roadway. Use extra caution.

6) Don't get overconfident in your SUV, and if you're driving a truck, remember they take longer to stop than cars.

If you do happen to "run into" someone or something unexpectedly, call our state-of-the-art Body Shop at Cedric Theel Toyota, 223.2190.

Safe Travels this winter!
