TOP WINTER DRIVING TIPS TO STAY SAFE
Winter roads in the GTA are no joke. Here’s what you need to know to stay safe this season.
1. KEEP AN EMERGENCY KIT IN YOUR CAR
Pack a winter emergency kit including a blanket, jumper cables, a snow brush, sand or kitty litter for traction, a flashlight, and snacks. You hope you never need it — but you’ll be glad it’s there.
2. CHECK YOUR BATTERY BEFORE WINTER HITS
Cold weather is brutal on car batteries. Get yours tested before the temperature drops. A battery that barely gets you through summer won’t make it through a Canadian winter.
3. USE WINTER TIRES
All-season tires aren’t enough in serious winter conditions. Winter tires provide dramatically better grip on snow and ice, reducing your stopping distance significantly.
4. KNOW WHEN TO CALL A TOW
If your vehicle is stuck, spinning out, or won’t start in the cold — don’t risk making it worse. Call ASAP Towing Inc. We’ll get to you fast and safely recover your vehicle.
