LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 4, 2020 / Compare-autoinsurance.org (https://compare-autoinsurance.org) is a top auto insurance brokerage website, providing car insurance quotes online from trustworthy agencies all over the United States. This website has recently launched a guide that presents the most important driving tips to follow during winter.

Driving during winter can be extremely hazardous. Icy roads, freezing temperatures and snowstorms are serious impediments. If a person ventures forth and decides to drive, he should follow the next tips:

• Avoid tailgating. Usually, drivers should follow the "3-4 seconds", meaning that they should keep a 3-4 seconds distance from the car ahead. During winter drivers should add extra space and maintain 8 to 10 seconds of distance from the car in front. Keep this in mind when approaching a parking lot near a hypermarket/mall

• Adapt driving style to weather conditions. Speed limits are based on perfect road conditions. In winter driving conditions, going 65 mph on the highway is really risky. Reduce speed to a safer limit. Also, do not be stressed by a driver behind you who is tailgating or flashing his lights. Think at your safety first. If necessary, pull to the side of the road to let the driver pass.

• Pay extra attention to parking lots. Parking lots are more dangerous than one may think. Pay extra care to the surrounding traffic when parking near a mall or hypermarket. Some drivers may be distracted by all sorts of billboards and TV screens.

• Avoid using cruise control. Deactivate cruise control when driving on a road covered with ice or snow. If the vehicle loses traction on a patch of ice, cruise control will accelerate to try to maintain speed. In many cases, the driver will lose control and the car will collide with another vehicle or a structure.

• Check batteries, fluids and tires. Do not venture outside without inspecting the car first. Make sure that the battery is not near-depletions, the tires have a consistent thread and the liquids are at acceptable levels. Also, check if all lights are working properly.

• Monitor the weather. Sometimes, the best driving tip is not to drive at all. If there's a massive snowstorm expected, the driver should better wait for it to pass. Also, freezing cold temperatures may damage car components. The recent polar vortex is one example.
