Tips for Driving in Winter Weather
It’s January, which means snow, sleet, and ice in our area, are pretty much a given. With the potential for our first significant snowstorm this weekend, we thought it might be useful to share some tips for driving in winter weather!
- Accelerate and decelerate slowly. Be sure that you gradually ease into the gas or break when the roads are slick, to avoid spinouts.
- Drive slowly. Even if the roads aren’t terrible, black ice paired with speed can be a recipe for disaster. Be sure to slow down and take your time when the temperature is below freezing.
- Increase your spacing between yourself and the vehicle in front of you. Allow for plenty of stopping room, in the event that your car begins to slide.
- Test your brakes before you get out on the roadway. Come to a few harsh stops in your driveway, before you venture out, to test the road conditions and your brakes with the slippery roads.
- If you can avoid it, don’t come to a complete stop. If you can safely coast through an intersection without having to come to a stop, or to make a turn, you’re likely to keep traction longer than if you stop completely.
- Slow and steady wins the race. When faced with a hill, don’t hit the gas too fast and try to gain too much speed. Take your time, drive slowly and steadily until you reach the top of the hill.
- If you can avoid it, stay inside. Allow road crews to treat the roadways before you get behind the wheel.
Driving in winter weather can be frightening, especially if you don’t do it very often. Take these tips along for the ride, and stay safe, if you can’t stay off the roads.
Contact us today to set up an appointment with our Service Department, to ensure your car is ready for the quickly approaching winter weather!
Back to School—The Best Cars for Students and First-Time Car Buyers
It’s mid-July in the Washington D.C. area which means many students will be packing up their belongings and heading back to school in a little over a month. Make sure the vehicle that you send your student back to school in is safe and reliable.
Here are a few of our favorite vehicles for first-time car buyers and students alike:
If you’re looking for something with a little more foot room, try on the 2016 Chevrolet Trax for size. It’s city-savvy, versatile, and meets any vehicle need, whether on back country roads or on winding city streets.
If fuel efficiency is the top of mind for you and your student, why not try the 2017 Chevrolet Volt? It runs on an electric charge and generates additional electric power seamlessly through a gas-powered generator when the battery runs out. With a fully charged battery, the Chevy Volt is capable of driving up to 53 miles without having to use fuel.
If a brand new car is a little out of your price range, stop by Waldorf Chevy Cadillac Pre-Owned. You’re sure to find a great car without breaking the bank.
Stop in and take a test drive—a new school year deserves new wheels!
