Stay Home: Yes, if at all possible, don’t drive in bad weather. There are plenty of times when you do not have the choice, but when you do, stay in. Make is a movie marathon day, or clean the house, but hang out at home.
Check your tires: You need to make sure your tires are the best shape possible during the winter months. You tires need to attempt to grip the road when you hit ice. Make sure your tires are inflated to proper psi. Never mix radial tires with any other type. Depending on your area, decide which tire type is best for your car, all weather or snow tires. Make sure you have enough treat and that the tires are in good shape.
