How romantic it is to take a motor tour in winter! You can see magnificent winter views in a warm car and feel like you are exploring an ice kingdom. If you prepare some items before you start, your winter motor tour will be even more wonderful.
Winter tires play a crucial role in your winter motor tour. This is because there are many unexpected variables hidden on winter roads. Road surfaces may be wet, frozen or heavily snowy according to the geographical characteristics.
You may need to use some equipment such as a snow chain, but most of all, it is necessary to fit your car with winter tires. Winter tires, specialized for winter road conditions, provide excellent slipping prevention and drainage and won't become frozen easily due to the soft texture of rubber. Fitting your car with winter tires is the first step for safe winter driving.
It would be great to get back into your warm car after sightseeing in cold weather. However, depending solely on the heater of your car might not be enough. You need to have some heat-retaining items that will allow you to remain warm and feel comfy.
A tumbler or a heating cabinet is a great item to contain hot beverages that will warm your body. How about a blanket for your girlfriend who hates the cold? If you have heated seats that will warm up your frozen body within a minute, that will surely make your winter motor tour much greater and warmer!
During the winter, the battery of your car is more likely to be discharged due to the battery efficiency being reduced by low temperatures, and there are also many car accidents, big or small, due to slippery road surfaces. If you have basic safety equipment in your car, however, you may be less flustered in case of an accident.
When you have to stop your car due to any unavoidable reason, you will need an emergency kit consisting of a tripod, a flashlight and a safety rod. Especially as the days get shorter in winter, you must have lighting equipment. You will feel relieved if you have a battery charging cable, snow chains or snow-removal equipment in your trunk. If you already have them, make sure you inspect them before you start your winter motor tour.
Probably the most threatening enemy in a winter motor tour is dozing off. If the car doesn't have enough oxygen inside due to continued use of the heater, the driver will start to doze, losing concentration. To make it worse, when driving on a snowy road, you will feel tired much faster as you will feel more tension on your arms, shoulders and the entire body due to the slippery surface.
What should you do in this case? The answer is by taking a nap in your car before starting. Prepare a neck pillow or a backrest cushion so that you can take a more comfortable rest in your car. Passengers also need to take care of the driver!
These items are not particularly noteworthy but if you have them in your winter motor tour, they will make you feel much more comfortable and at ease. Hope you get all these items prepared for a safer and more exciting motor tour in the winter season!
