Snow has appeared in Northern Greece and driving under these conditions is a great challenge even for an experienced driver. Driving in the snow requires caution, while fog greatly impedes visibility.
What do we need to have with us in the car to be able to respond to extremely difficult situations? Ice on the windshield, during the winter months, creates a problem in visibility. It is important for the driver to clean the ice with a scraper before getting into his car. All windows, lights and license plates must be clear of snow, and the wipers must be in good condition.
As the day is short and the night is fast, there should be a flashlight in the car and the driver should not rely on the mobile phone lens. In the event of a fault, he will assist in marking the location of the car.
In case there are no snow tires, there should be snow blankets or chains in the car, but the driver should know in advance to pass them on the tires. Note that depending on the size of the tire there is a different size of chain or snow blanket.
A first aid kit is essential. It is vital if the driver is found to be involved in a collision to deal with the less serious injuries.
The replacement vest is necessary, as well as a safety triangle, ensuring the visibility of the car and marking its position. It is also wise to have a fire extinguisher and a window hammer in the car, which will help in an impending release.
If the car comes to a standstill you must have your mobile phone charged in order to ask for help. The colder months are likely to further burden the car battery. Good condition and inspection should be done at regular intervals during the winter. Charging cables will help in case you need help from another car.
A pair of boots that can withstand snow conditions would be especially helpful, especially if the driver is forced to make some distance from the point of the car.
Finally, the appropriate winter clothes will help the driver and passengers to stay warm in case the car comes to a standstill, while the presence of enough fuel will provide a solution to the heating during the cage.
