  1. Car insurance quotes: Driving Safely in Winter Weather You can never predict what winter weather will be like, but at least you can be prepared for it when you get out on the highway. Here are a few tips to help you stay safe on the road in all kinds of conditions and return safely home. Plan Ahead Your first step in driving safely in winter weather comes before you even get out of the driveway. You should make sure you pack any items that might be needed if you should not be able to make it back home. Even if you don't get in an accident, you can get stuck behind one or end up on a closed road and have to turn around and look for temporary lodging. When starting out on any winter trip, make sure you pack these items:  Extra gloves, hat, boots, and coat  Shovel and sand or kitty litter  Flashlight and extra batteries – but a lantern would be even better  Road flares  Blanket  Water and food  Map of the area if you don't have GPS or lose power on your smartphone

  2. Make sure you let someone know where you are going and what route you are taking. In hazardous conditions, it is important that you don't veer off from the chosen path. If you do need to change your route, you should pull off the highway and call someone to let them know. This ensures that if you don't arrive at your destination that rescuers will at least have a good starting point to look for you. Drive Defensively When heading out in bad weather, you should keep a few driving tips in mind:  Drive defensively. Keep your attention on the road and limit distractions as much as possible. This means shutting off the radio and hanging up on phone calls even if you have a hands-free device.  Slow down. While this is practical for roads with ice and snow, you also want to think about it in good road conditions if it has snowed recently. You never know when you could run into black ice and end up off the road. It's especially important to slow down for turns and curves. Increase your stopping distance by putting on your breaks ahead of time.  If you get stuck, try to use the shovel and sand to help you get enough traction to get out of your situation. Don't sit and spin your wheels because that will only dig your vehicle in deeper.

  3. Finally, make sure you have adequate liability coverage by getting car insurance quotes before bad weather hits. You want to make sure you carry enough insurance if you are in an accident. In addition, it is easier to get low car insurance quotes if you can show you are a safe driver and avoid accidents. Driving safely in hazardous weather and preparing before you leave for a trip can help you avoid accidents and arrive home safely at the end of your journey.
