We may be headed for warmer temperatures for the next few days but Old Man Winter is sure to breathe some blistery conditions on Greensboro again during January, February and March.
If you have to be out driving in hazardous conditions here are some tips from the NC Highway Patrol.
-Reduce your speed. Driving at the regular speed limit will reduce your ability to control the car if you begin to slide.
-Leave plenty of room between you and other vehicles.
-Bridges and overpasses accumulate ice first. Approach them with extreme caution and do not apply your brakes while on the bridge.
-If you do begin to slide, take your foot off the gas and turn the steering wheel in the direction of the slide. Do not apply the brakes, as that will cause further loss of control of the car.
At Rice Toyota we will check your brakes, tires, antifreeze, and battery to make sure you don't get stranded in freezing weather. Drop by and see us anytime at 2630 Battleground Avenue for a complimentary winter check up.
If you happen to be in one of the hundreds of traffic accidents that occur during icy winter weather, we can fix your car in record time at Rice Collision Center. We also have a fleet of rental cars to get you through the repair process.
