Michigan Driving Tips:
If your a seasoned Michigan Resident then you surely know that driving in the winter in Michigan is a practiced art. There are quite a few hazards that may make this winter even more scary for Michigan drivers. With the economy strugling like it is (especially here in Michigan) we are seeing the roads being neglected and more dangerous hazards such as potholes, unpaved roads etc... That is why We want to outline a few simple pointers to safe driving in Michigan.

1.Start this season out making sure that your vehicle is ready for winter. I would advize taking your vehicle in to a tire shop and having them check the pressure, as well as rotating those wheels. This will accomplish a few things; help you get better gas mileage, help your car get better traction on those snowy days, make your tires last longer, and help you to be able to stop in a shorter distance if needed.

2.Make sure that you have all fluids checked. The two most important that come to mind would be the radiator fluid and the windshield wiper fluid. You don't want either to freeze up. If your radiator isn't properly serviced you could find yourself putting a new engine in the vehicle when it overheats. If you don't have windshield wiper fluid, or it is frozen you could find yourself in an accident when you can't see out the front window.

3.Don't follow too close to the vehicle in front of you. If he has to stop in a hurry you either won't have the time to react fast enough and will rear end him/her, or when you tap your breaks to avoid him/her you will end up in the ditch(maybe wrapped around a tree).

4.Keep a half tank of gas. This does a couple of things. 1st off if you drive on the highway in Michigan often, then you know that you can be jammed in a traffic jam on any given day. Running out of gas due to improper planning can not only be dangerous to you and your family in the car, but could also cause other vehicles to get in an accident.
