Have you noticed the cooler weather here in North Texas? Slowly but surely, winter is coming. Temperatures don’t usually drop below freezing here, but at Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, we know that it is important to stay weather aware and take necessary precautions to protect yourself and your vehicle. If, or when, the more severe weather makes its way into our area, make sure you have a plan and follow precautions to reduce the risk of denting your vehicle.
Be Aware
When you go to leave somewhere in your vehicle you should already have a plan. Be sure to plan your route before leaving your current location. When the weather is freezing, usually at night, ice can build up. Deciding on a plan for your route before you get in your vehicle will allow you to pre-access the roads and find our which ones are clear and which ones could have ice. This will prevent you from slipping on the icy roads and causing damage to your vehicle or self.
Turn on Fog Lights
When fog inevitably settles in be sure to turn on your vehicle’s fog, or low, lights. This might seem like common sense, however, if you do not turn them on other drivers will not be able to see you or you may not be able to see the other drivers. This could cause an unfortunate and catastrophic collision.
Check Tire Threads
Even when it is warm outside you should be checking your tire threads. However, it is extremely important in the winter months. You need to be sure you check them BEFORE winter weather hits. In the event of icy roads, bad treads on tires will lesson the traction your vehicle has on the road and will increase your chances of slipping and crashing into barriers.
Shovel that Snow
If you have any snow on your vehicle when you go to leave your location it is best to push off any excess. Snow will gradually gather and accumulate. Large pieces of ice can be sharp and could severely damage your vehicle. Pushing off any excess snow or ice (if you can) will help lower the chance of damage.
