IIHS Advises Drivers on Vehicle Preparation for Winter Road Safety
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) advises drivers to exercise caution during winter weather, highlighting that cleared main roads may still leave side streets hazardous. Drivers should ensure their vehicles are properly prepared by clearing snow and ice from all sensors and windows to maintain visibility and sensor functionality. The IIHS recommends allowing extra time to ready vehicles, checking tire condition, and monitoring air pressure as temperatures drop to improve winter driving safety.
