Winter is coming and it’s best we start preparing for it now. And this week we are bringing you some important tips to make sure you stay safe on the roadway when weather conditions start to take a turn. Use the tips below as a refresher and be sure to service your vehicle this month before the winter weather hits. Or upgrade your ride altogether. Perhaps a new X5 or X7 has been on your list – come see our team for a test drive and let us help you upgrade today!

 

Flemington BMW’s Winter Driving Tips:

  • Always buckle your seat belt and require your passengers do the same.
  • Reduce speeds. Remember that the posted speed limit is for ideal travel conditions.
  • Allow for extra travel time or consider delaying trips if the weather is inclement.
  • Don’t use your hand-held cell phone while driving, as mandated by law.
  • Use your headlights, as required by law.
  • Be alert and allow more distance between your vehicle and others.
  • Use your brakes carefully.  Brake early and carefully as it takes more time and distance to stop in adverse conditions.
  • Don’t use “cruise control” in wintry conditions.
  • Be courteous to other drivers.
  • Keep to the right except to pass, using turn signals to alert other drivers of your intentions.
