Be Prepared for Winter Driving

Manitoba Winter Driving

It is a good idea to be prepared for Winter driving before you head out on the road this season. Driving conditions can change quickly during the Winter months. It is always best to have a number of items in your vehicle in case you get stuck on or off the road.

Manitoba Winter Roads

Be Prepared

It is recommended that you travel with a cold-weather survival kit in your vehicle. Having emergency supplies on hand can be very beneficial if you find yourself stranded in your vehicle during a Manitoba Winter. Cold-weather survival kits should include these items:

  • Candle and Matches
  • Water
  • First Aid Kit
  • Non-perishable Food
  • Booster Cables
  • Shovel
  • Warm Clothing and Boots
  • Flares
  • Warm Blankets

Winter Driving Car Kit

Winter Survival Kits are available at a number of retailers - or easily assembled from items in your home. A good ice scraper is necessary this time of year.

Clean Off Your Windows

Always be sure to completely clear off your vehicle of all ice and snow before you pull out of the driveway. Make sure that windows are free from frost and clear from interior fog.

It could make all the difference in keeping yourself and others safe on Manitoba roads this Winter.

How to Get Help

There is help if you do become stranded on Manitoba roads this Winter. If you have an emergency, be sure to contact 911. If you are stranded in the snow, turn on your vehicle's four-way flashers. Ensure that your Exhaust pipe is not blocked by snow, then remain in your vehicle until help arrives. Owners with Mopar Roadside Assistance can reach that service at 1-800-363-4869.
