Should You Lift Your Windshield Wipers When It Snows?
I still remember the time I was driving home from work during a snowstorm, and I could barely see out of my windshield. I had already used all of my windshield wiper fluid, and my wipers were starting to freeze to the windshield. I was frustrated and scared, and I didn’t know what to do. Then, I remembered a tip that I had heard from a friend: lift your windshield wipers when it snows.}
I quickly pulled over to the side of the road and got out of my car. I carefully lifted my windshield wipers up so that they were resting on the hood of my car. Then, I got back in my car and drove home. It was a long and slow drive, but I was able to make it home safely. Ever since then, I always lift my windshield wipers when it snows. It’s a simple tip, but it can make a big difference.
Winterizing Your Car
Lifting your windshield wipers when it snows is just one of many things you can do to winterize your car. Other important tips include:
- Check your battery. Cold weather can shorten the life of your battery, so it’s important to have it checked before winter arrives.
- Change your oil. Cold weather can thicken your oil, making it harder for your engine to start. Be sure to change your oil to a thinner grade before winter arrives.
- Check your tires. Make sure your tires are properly inflated and have good tread. You may also want to consider switching to winter tires, which are designed to provide better traction in雪地.
- Pack an emergency kit. In case you get stranded in a snowstorm, it’s important to have an emergency kit in your car. Your kit should include items such as a blanket, a flashlight, a first-aid kit, and some non-perishable food.
Conclusion
Winter can be a challenging time to drive, but by following these tips, you can help to ensure that you and your car are prepared. And remember, always lift your windshield wipers when it snows!
