❄️ Snowy Weather Driving Tips from Jade Towing & Recovery

Snowy conditions can make even short drives unpredictable and dangerous. Slick roads, reduced visibility, and freezing temperatures increase the likelihood of accidents and breakdowns. At Jade Towing & Recovery, we want to help keep Central Kentucky drivers safe and prepared when snow starts falling.

Before You Head Out

A little preparation goes a long way in winter weather:

• Check weather and road conditions before leaving.

• Clear snow and ice from windows, mirrors, lights, and your vehicle roof.

• Inspect tires for proper tread and inflation.

• Top off fluids, especially windshield washer fluid rated for freezing temperatures.

• Pack a winter emergency kit with blankets, gloves, water, snacks, a flashlight, and phone charger.

  
  

Tips for Driving in Snow

When roads are snow-covered, adjust your driving habits:

• Slow down and allow extra time to reach your destination.

• Increase following distance—stopping takes much longer on snow and ice.

• Brake gently to avoid skidding.

• Avoid sudden turns or acceleration.

• Watch for black ice, especially on bridges, overpasses, and shaded areas.

  
  

If You Slide or Get Stuck

• Take your foot off the accelerator and steer gently in the direction you want the vehicle to go.

• If stuck, avoid spinning your tires—it can make the situation worse.

• If conditions are unsafe, stay in your vehicle, turn on hazard lights, and call for help.
