Dave Gough's Winter Driving Tips
Having been in the automotive business for more years than Dave would like to admit, he's gathered much wisdom in how to approach winter driving. Here are a few worthy tips:
Use good winter tires and wiper blades. Traction is imperative, as is seeing where you are going.
Completely clear snow and ice from your vehicle. Not only is it safer for you and other vehicles, it's the law.
Let your vehicle warm-up before putting it in gear. We want to minimize our carbon footprint, and stressing a cold engine will cause it to run inefficiently. Ideally your car idles at 1000 rpm or lower before you start.
Don't use window flags. They damage the seal around the window, letting in cold air and creating that annoying whistling sound.
Don't kick at the snow around your tires, you can cause damage to the vehicle. If it bothers you, park in underground parking for a few hours and let it melt.
