Tips for keeping you and your Ford safe this winter

Winter is upon us. Soon the lovely Utah snow will be covering the valley. Utah snow is great for skiing, but not so much for driving. The Ford Fusion comes in all wheel drive, which is great for Utah’s differing terrain and road conditions, but if you don’t have the Ford Fusion or an all wheel drive vehicle, there are still ways to keep yourself safe while driving in the winter.

If you can help it, wait until the Utah snow plows and salt trucks have had a chance to do their job. If there’s a huge storm or the roads are snow packed, the safest place is usually not behind the wheel, so if there’s any way you can give it some time, it is strongly recommended.

It’s a good idea to practice driving in the snow in a open Utah parking lot so you can get familiar with how your car handles in the snow. Even if you have a Ford Fusion you need to practice.

Even if you do have the all wheel drive Ford Fusion, when the roads are snowy or icy, you still need to decrease your speed and give yourself plenty of space between vehicles. It is recommended that you leave at least three times more space than usual between you and the car in front of you.

In icy conditions it is important to brake gently to avoid skidding. If your brakes start to lock up ease off the brake. You should also know whether or not you have anti-lock brakes, if you do have anti-lock do not pump the brakes push down steadily on your brakes instead.
