    Common Snow Driving Mistakes To Avoid

    By C.V. Mason Insurance Agency | Uncategorized | Comments are Closed | 12 January, 2016 | 0

    With the winter temperatures continuing to drop, the roads are becoming more and more dangerous. Even though snow covered road can be a beautiful sight, it can very dangerous once you get behind the wheel. To help you stay safe throughout the season, avoid these 4 snow driving mistakes.

    1.         Getting distracted – every time you are driving, you should only focus on one thing – driving. While this is important each time you are behind the wheel, it is especially important during the winter. Keep both hands on the wheel and avoid any distractions, including your cell phone.

    2.         Not slowing down – posted speed limits are meant for perfect weather and road conditions. When the roads are covered with ice and snow, you should reduce your speed significantly. The slower you go, the more time you have to react to any dangerous road conditions that may be up ahead.

    3.         Not looking ahead – don’t focus all of your attention on the road directly in front of your car. Instead, scan the road a few car lengths ahead so you know what to expect. Finding potential issues as soon as possible can give you the time you need to properly react.

    4.         Not giving yourself space – your following distance should be increased to at least five seconds on snow covered roads. To figure out your following distance, pick an object on the side of the road, such as a telephone pole. When the car in front of your passes it, start counting with the thousands method (one thousand one, one thousand two…). You should be able to reach one thousand five before you pass the same object. If not, slow it down.

    Most importantly, take a look at your auto insurance policy to ensure you have the right amount of coverage. Contact CV Mason Insurance Agency in Bristol, Connecticut for all of your car insurance needs.
