Preparation is key when it comes to getting ready for winter driving. From slick road conditions to frigid temperatures, it’s important for motorists to take the necessary precautions.
An auto insurer in Michigan knows driving conditions will change shortly in the state and is advising motorists to be mindful of their driving habits. A motor vehicle accident is one way policyholders will see an increase in their auto insurance premiums.
A representative of the company says, “Driving during the winter in Michigan offers motorists a variety of challenges and some scary situations that may require advance preparation and quick thinking to survive.”
To help be more safe on the road, the insurer recommends motorists stay in one lane. Abruptly switching lanes, it says, can cause other drivers to quickly hit their brakes. Furthermore, passing lanes may not be as clear.
In the event of extremely poor weather conditions, it may be best for motorists to change their plans. No one will have a good time if they become stranded on the side of the road or become involved in an accident.
