By November 1st, we should have summer tires replaced for the winter. The winter tire proves its quality when it is seven degrees above zero and less. It remains softer than the summer and has a shorter braking distance. That’s why riding is safer.
“Year-round tires are also demanding, but the market is not so wide, but it’s definitely not recommended to people who drive often and into higher areas. The features of year-round tires are definitely not as good as winter tires, “says new Skoda dealer Jacobi Jewel.
Check battery before winter
Older cars are in danger of coming in the cold in the morning and we are not starting anymore. That’s why it’s good to have a battery charge in the workshop. If it’s at the edge of life, it’s good to buy a new battery. Otherwise, it may indeed happen that we will suddenly stay in place.
Do not forget to change the summer mix in the washers for the winter. Drivers are also at the forefront of car owners’ interest.
“By getting the salt in the winter, the car chassis suffers. There are companies that offer protection against winter wax. There is also a company that cares not only for the chassis, but also treats the varnish of the entire vehicle and prepares it for the winter. “says Jacobi Jewel.
The expiration of the first-aid kit does not have to worry
From October 1, 2018, we do not have to worry so much about the life of the car kit. We do not have to buy a new one every year. “And there may not be a three-eyed scarf or drape. Keep your old first aid kit in your car. If there is a serious accident, you will not be able to get the basic car kit. “says expert Jacobi Jewel.
We do not even have to carry spare light bulbs with us. New technologies are on the market, and bulbs cannot be replaced by people. There is a bad approach or exchange is so complicated that only experts can do it. It is not advisable to interfere with the new car. Gone is the time when cars were repaired on the sidewalk.
A reflective vest is just one
In the Czech Republic, one reflective vest with reflective tape in one car is enough. But for example, in Germany, the car needs to be as thick as the car in the car. The vest which made of reflective fabric should be at hand, preferably in the passenger compartment. Manufacturers are already trapped. They even put on the vests under the driver’s seat in new cars.
What is good to have in the car in the winter
Do not forget the warning triangle, starter cars are a good helper starter cables, snow brush, ice scraper, winter jacket, and blanket.
“People have recently been calling for a safety belt cutter. When an accident occurs, the strip can simply be removed, “concludes Jacobi Jewel.
