Driving in the winter means snow, sleet and ice that can lead to slower traffic, hazardous road conditions, hot tempers and unforeseen dangers. Reliable transportation is especially important in the winter. If you have a car, make sure it is ready for whatever winter may bring along with it. Your car should always be kept in operating conditions all year round, but for safety and fuel economy, it is especially important to get your vehicle winterized to avoid any unpleasant or dangerous situations while traveling in more frigid weather conditions.
