When driving on winter roads, the keyword to be careful of is “fuyutojiko”
There are five points you should be careful of when driving a car during this period.
(1) Make sure you have proper winter road equipment. Change to winter tires as soon as possible and prepare tire chains. Driving on snowy roads drains the battery more easily. When going away, don’t forget to check your vehicle beforehand, such as checking for spare washer fluid and batteries.
(2) Drive slowly and carefully. If the temperature is low following rain or snow, there is a possibility that unexpected places on the roads you are used to may be frozen. Also, even if there is no snow, if the road looks black, it may be frozen, so don’t let your guard down.
(3) Sometimes taking a detour or refraining from going out is an option. It may be a good idea to temporarily change your drive plan, etc.
(4) Leave with plenty of time to spare. If you panic, you will end up speeding even on icy roads, which might lead to an accident.
(5) Check the weather and road information frequently. The weather forecast may suddenly change from “sunny” to “snowy.” When it snows, roads may be closed.
Please line up the initial letters of the five points and memorize them as “Fuyutojiko”.
