Driving during the winter season is sometimes difficult to understand for some drivers. Benoît Godart, spokesperson at Vias, offers three tips to ensure safe driving.

Be in condition:

“When you decide to take the wheel when the roads present a certain danger, you have to get in good condition. For example, it is essential to take two minutes to completely defrost the windows of the vehicle. If you have a big down jacket, you also have to take the time to take it off to get fully comfortable”.

A vehicle in order:

“Before starting, you have to make sure that the car is fully roadworthy. The advice I would give on this subject is the windshield washer. During the winter period, even more so than in summer, you must ensure that you have enough antifreeze water in the windscreen washer to ensure good visibility during the journey. Equipping your vehicle with snow tires is also important, even if it’s not the guarantee of not hitting the road, which is sometimes capricious”.

Anticipate :

“This last piece of advice is undoubtedly the master of all the others. When driving in winter, there are still risks inherent to the period and sometimes invisible. There are places that are more exposed than others. We need to be more vigilant. You have to drive cool. Leaving earlier, agreeing to arrive late. “.
