First snow of the season. Be careful even if you are used to it.
Even if you live in a place that gets a lot of snow in the winter, once the summer is over, you tend to forget what it feels like to drive a car on snowy roads. When it comes to the first snow of the season, even if you are used to snow, there are two things you need to be aware of:
(1) Be sure to replace your tires with studless tires or install tire chains. For studless tires, check in advance whether they have sufficient tread. Even if you don’t use studded tires much, they will deteriorate over time, so they need to be inspected before the season.
(2) Even if you are in a hurry, avoid sudden driving such as sudden braking, sudden steering operations, sudden starts, and sudden lane changes. If you drive suddenly, your car will be more likely to skid. When starting the car or going uphill, gently press the accelerator to avoid spinning the tires. When going downhill, reduce your speed by using engine braking and adjusting the accelerator and brake appropriately.
