1. Clarify your vision
Winter makes it dark faster and affects the visibility of both the driver and passengers, making hazards harder to spot. To avoid this, let the car cool down completely as the temperature difference between inside and outside the car can cause the windows to fog up. Check that the windshield is clean...
2. Check the light
Make sure all your lights are working. Check your headlights, turn signals, brake lights, and reverse lights. If any of these lights are out, motorcyclists may not be able to see your car approaching, slowing down, or turning toward them because of poor winter visibility.
3. Be careful of slippery roads

4. Take it easy at intersections
You can quickly see the car coming in bright conditions. But in winter, it gets dark quickly and the lighting conditions are poor, so take your time to observe to ensure safety and avoid accidents.
5. Record dangerous points on the journey
Some intersections are more dangerous than others, take note of this to be extra careful.
