This Traffic Tip Tuesday we want to remind those
of you with a vehicle to begin winterizing. Every season it is good to do a
routine check on your vehicle. For the winter these are a few suggestions we
have.
1.
Is your washer fluid appropriate for
freezing temperatures… if not it can freeze and potentially damage the
reservoir and cause the washer system to become useless
2.
How old is your battery…is there any
corrosion around it? Cold weather can at times cause a battery to die, in which
case check that you have jumper cables!
3.
Do you own an ice scraper? We highly
recommend you not drive with a frosted front or back windshield
4.
Keep at least a quarter to half tank
of gas to keep your gas from freezing, and running out on a roadway in the
cold.
