J.D. Byrider in Saginaw celebrated another banner week helping customers find their ideal vehicle. Customers hailing from Saginaw, Midland, and Bay City are all excited to work with a reputable dealer like J.D. Byrider 6011 Bay Road Saginaw MI 48604.

As the temperature continues to drop, J.D. Byrider had some winter driving tips for how to stay safe on the roads. It is always important to pay attention to the tires. Winter driving requires good snow tires because they are designed specifically to provide traction and durability. These are the best type of tires to have during the cold winter months. Now drivers can have a quality all season radial and be perfectly fine. Just make sure that there is plenty of tread on the tire.

Worn tires and cold weather account for a large percentage of traffic accidents, add into the mix distracted driving and that can account for well over 50% of all winter related accidents.

It’s also important to make sure that the tires are properly inflated before going for a drive. Checking the tire pressure has a lot of benefits. For starters, if the tire pressure drops beyond the recommended level, gas mileage is significantly reduced. Having adequately inflated tires can also lessen the number of trips to the gas station that a driver should make.

Most importantly, keeping the tires inflated can have a huge impact on a person’s safety, especially when driving through snow. Snow tires or winter tires are designed for cold temperatures and will help ensure road safety.

Visibility during winter can be a huge issue if a driver gets stranded on the side of the road. Research shows that over 70% of drivers do not have road flares in their vehicle. Make sure to have safety equipment in the vehicle. It’s better to be prepared when driving during these cold months: stock the car with some winter driving essentials, including a survival kit. Keep an ice scraper and a snow shovel in the trunk. It’s hard to tell when the situation would call for it. Have some sand or salt ready as well.

The sand and salt are for providing traction for the tires. Even kitty litter would work fine if it’s an emergency and there’s no sand around.

Most drivers are not prepared to get stranded for hours on end, and their gas tank is not either. Over 75% of drivers do not have enough gas in the tank nor enough warm clothes to wait out a storm on the side of the road.

Keep the vehicle prepared as well by always keeping the gas tank at least half full. If the driver ever gets stranded, they can run the engine and stay warm. Also, make sure that the windshield fluid reservoir is filled to help clear snow and ice while driving.

There is not much that can be done when already on the road and dealing with ice and snow. It is better to keep an eye out for weather reports and make travel plans accordingly. Check the local news station or even the internet for weather updates. Do not drive if the weather condition is too dangerous.

If while driving, the vehicle gets stuck or stranded, do not venture out because there’s a chance of getting caught in a snowstorm. If the car is out of harm’s way, it is advisable to stay in and wait for help. Out in the snow, it is very easy to lose track of the vehicle and get lost in the freezing weather.

Drivers that exit their vehicle during a storm are at a 4X greater risk of being hit and suffering an injury than those that stay in their vehicle with their seatbelt on. Stay in the car and contact relatives or authorities who could provide assistance. It is also possible to wait for the weather to clear up a bit before driving again. Use caution at all times.

Not all vehicles are designed to withstand the weather, but many cars allow for safer winter driving. Driving in the winter months can be challenging even for experienced drivers, so switching to a vehicle like an All Wheel Drive (AWD) or 4x4 vehicle can make it much easier. Buying a used vehicle from J.D. Byrider is super easy with their no pressure sales team.

Drivers who are looking for a new vehicle can call in or swing by J.D. Byrider in Saginaw to speak to one of the team members about cars or SUVs that are suitable for winter driving.
