Safe Winter Driving

No matter where you are in BC, this is the time of year to make sure you’re prepared for winter driving conditions.

Winterizing your vehicle begins with installing four matching winter tires. Tires with the 3-peaked mountain/snowflake symbol are recommended. By law, tires need to have at least 3.5 mm of tread.

Here are some other basic recommendations from the Winter Driving Safety Alliance for winterizing a vehicle:

  • Check the battery, brakes, cooling and heating systems, electrical and exhaust system, and belts and hoses to ensure they’re in good working order.
  • Top up cooling fluid, oil levels, and windshield cleaning fluid.
  • Equip it with tire chains or traction devices in good condition.
  • Equip it with an emergency kit.
  • Use winter windshield wiper blades.
