Maintaining yourself and your car in severe freezing weather

You need to be organized for treacherous cold temperatures during the winter months. Be sure you are clothed for the bad weather and that your car has all it needs to run effectively and drive safe and sound.

About your Car before driving somewhere

 

The AA recommends that you maintain an extra close eye on your car body and car parts throughout severe freezing snowy weather. Be sure you always have a full fuel tank. You ought to make sure your lighting and electricals are functioning, your discs and brake pads aren’t low, the radiator, engine and battery are all well maintained, make sure all the battery terminals and connections are clean and attached firmly. In a cold climate your battery needs all the power it can get. If the battery is over three years old you should get it checked or perhaps even replaced. If you find that your door locks are frozen then never pour warm water on them, this will make them worse, use a de-icer.
