Winter driving comes with its challenges and it’s important to be prepared.
Slippery or snow-covered roads, reduced visibility and bitter cold are all conditions that can make driving difficult and even dangerous during cold weather months.
Inspecting your car and making the necessary upgrades will ensure you are safe to handle whatever the conditions may bring. CAA spoke with CTV Morning Live this week on some of the best ways you can winterize your car.
CAA says to start your winter preparations by opening the hood of your car to make sure everything is working properly. This includes checking that brake and windshield washer fluids are refilled and winter ready.
The season is also a great time to get an oil change and check that all belts and hoses are puncture-free.
CAA says drivers should consider upgrading to winter wiper blades.
"During the regular season, they're a bit thinner so we want to upgrade to winter blades that are a bit thicker to deal with snow and icy conditions," said CAA automotive services assistant operations manager Hassan Al-Khairalla.
