Oak Hill, WV (WOAY) – As we prepare for this winter storm, we have to also think about our cars.
You should check your car’s battery and tire pressure. Also, fill up on windshield wiper fluid and get new windshield wipers if you need them.
Be sure to also have a roadside safety kit, with jumper cables, an ice scraper, and more. For a full checklist, be sure to visit https://wv511.org/.
And while you are there, check road conditions. When you do hit the road, drive slow and give snow plows extra space to work.
Now, keep in mind the Department of Highways’ priorities.
They first need to work on roads that see a lot of traffic, like interstates. Then they move onto roads that see less traffic, like school bus routes. Then, once those roads are cleared, they can work on their third priority routes.
