Teen Winter Driving Tips!

Share these with your young driver!  Here’s a few tips to keep them safer on the road.

1:  Keep your headlights on, even during the day.  It helps other drivers to spot you easier.

2:  Increase your following distance.  New drivers often have a hard time judging distance.  Giving the car ahead some extra space allows more time to react and stop in case of an emergency.

3:  Travel slowly in poor weather.  Even in rain traction is drastically reduced.  Slowing for corners is especially important.

4:  Make sure your car is ready for all kinds of weather. Check your tires, anti-freeze, washer fluid, and make sure your oil is fresh. Consider purchasing snow tires for the winter months.

5:  Don’t let your gas get too low.  You don’t want to be stranded on the side of the road!  Also, fuel pumps can become strained when your tank has less fuel in it.

If you have any questions please call Paradiso Insurance at 1.800.660.2991!
