When was the last time you took a refresher course on your fall and winter driving? Well, if it’s been a while and you’re planning on heading into chilly temperatures this holiday season, this week’s blog will be a benefit to you! We encourage you to take a look at those tips below and be sure to put them to good use this winter. We want you and your passengers to stay safe so please use them!

King Kia Gaithersburg’s Fall/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.
