Get your car ready for winter driving conditions by:

• Make sure your tires are in good shape and are rated for the conditions.  Check your spare tire too.
• Carry chains where required by law.  Learn how to install the chains properly before you need them.
• Have all belts, hoses, brakes, and steering components checked by a licensed mechanic.
• Change your wind-shield wipers.
• Top up all fluids to the proper levels.  Carry extra wind-shield fluid.
• Check your safety kit for blankets, water, food, extra medication, first aid supplies, and road markers

Keep care of yourself by:

• Not driving when sleepy, or under the influence.
• Not driving in poor conditions when it is not necessary.
• Planning your trip carefully and sharing your route with friends and family.
• NOT TEXTING or TALKING on a cell phone.  Pull over safely when using a phone.
