Winter always presents additional challenges for drivers, but there are several ways to adapt to cold conditions, as reported by SUV News.
Here are five useful tips from automotive experts to make winter driving easier:
Cat litter to prevent windshield fogging. Regular cat litter effectively absorbs moisture inside the car. You can place it in a sock or leggings and use it as an anti-fog solution. For better results, position the sock under the window.
Park the car facing east. Parking the car facing east can help warm up and defrost the windshield more quickly in the morning. The sun rises in the east, so its rays hit the front of the vehicle, and by the time you reach your car, the glass may already be defrosted.
Cat litter for getting unstuck in snow. If your vehicle is stuck in snow, pouring cat litter under the wheels can enhance tire traction and make it easier to get out of the snow.
Disinfectant for frozen locks. If your locks are frozen, you can apply hand sanitizer to the key and insert it into the lock. Turning the key will quickly melt the ice and unlock the mechanism.
WD-40 for locks and latches. WD-40 is an effective solution for dealing with frozen locks. It not only prevents freezing but also quickly resolves the issue if it has already occurred.
