Navigating Winter Roads: Your One Clear Choice for Safe Holiday Travel
As November rolls in and the holiday season approaches, many of us are looking forward to spending quality time with loved ones. For those of us in Northern Nevada, this often means hitting the road to visit friends and family. However, winter weather can make holiday travel a bit more challenging. That’s where Bradley, Drendel & Jeanney, Northern Nevada’s Original Personal Injury Firm, comes in as “The One Clear Choice” for keeping your journeys safe and smooth. In this blog, we’ll share some essential tips for navigating winter roads during the holiday season.
Prepare Your Vehicle:
Before embarking on a winter road trip, it’s crucial to ensure that your vehicle is in tip-top shape. Here are some steps you should take
Plan Your Route:
Carefully plan your travel route, taking into account weather forecasts, road conditions, and potential closures. Opt for well-maintained highways and main roads whenever possible, as they are more likely to be plowed and treated during winter storms.
Drive Cautiously:
Once you’re on the road, make safety your top priority. Drive at a safe and manageable speed, leaving plenty of distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you. Avoid sudden movements, and use gentle, smooth inputs when steering, accelerating, and braking.
Keep an Eye on the Weather:
Stay informed about weather conditions along your route by checking weather apps or listening to local radio broadcasts. If conditions deteriorate, don’t hesitate to adjust your travel plans or pull over in a safe location until the weather improves.
Stay Alert and Rested:
Fatigue can be a significant factor in winter accidents. Get plenty of rest before your trip and take breaks to stay alert. If you’re feeling tired, it’s better to stop and rest than to push on.
Carry Chains or Traction Devices:
In some cases, you may be required to use chains or traction devices on your tires when traveling through snowy or icy areas. Make sure you have them on hand and know how to install them if needed.
