If you don’t have an emergency exit, don’t go out.
Watch for information on blocked or closed streets or roads.
Reduce your speed.
When braking or starting try to do it slowly.
Increase the distance from your car to another, count 5 to 6 seconds to measure the distance of the space between you and the car in front.
Check the tires and brakes before leaving, your gas tank and that the heater works. Check that there are no sheltered animals under your car and / or children playing in the snow behind or near the car, fogging reduces visibility. Turn on the A / C to circulate air and demist the windows or open the window a bit. Take emergency items with you such as a lamp, a blanket, your charged cell phone. We already know that the snowy panorama is very beautiful but avoid filming and driving, it is highly dangerous for you and others. In times of covid it is important to reduce accidents because medical staff and care resources are limited. Do not use the high beams because they reflect back to you just as intensely and reduce your visibility. If the car skids do not brake, do not turn the steering wheel this causes the resistance to cause the car to roll over. Avoid streets with steep hills.
Have your emergency contacts and auto insurance numbers handy, take care of yourself and others.
