Often driving tips vary depending on who you ask. When there are cold frosty mornings the right answer needs to be known immediately to prevent car damage. Of course if you are thinking of drag racing the tips are totally different!

Although many believe they should get their engine warmed up by racing games (like you are in Nascar) it in the morning the problem is that an idling engine can’t get lubrication to the necessary metal parts and without lubrication those parts wear out prematurely. Idle that car, such as the Nissan Pao, for not more than 30 seconds and save wear and tear on moving parts.

Below freezing starts can damage an engine. To avoid this use a multi grade oil either 5W-30 or 10W-30. These oils are formulated to resist thickening in cold weather and this leave more oil available for lubrication.

In preparing for winter cold have the cold-cranking power of the battery checked by your mechanic which is the major reason there are cold weather stalls.

Antifreeze should not be used at full concentration because when water is added the freezing point is actually lowered. Silicates and phosphates in the antifreeze require water to keep them in a solution to do their job. Think about new tires.

Do not under inflate your tires for more traction before traveling on slippery roads. On icy roads one needs more traction and stopping capabilities which is accomplished with inflated tires.

The most serious problem in icy conditions occurs with drivers inexperienced with snowy icy road conditions. If your car has traction control there will not be a problem. Apply the emergency brake just a few notches until it begins to grip. This will make the braking system equal on both driving wheels and will cause to turn at the same speed. But be careful in using that emergency brake because too much braking can damage it.

Skidding is a frightening problem and it is hard to know at this panicky time. The easy answer is no matter which direction the car is skidding turn the wheel in the direction you want to go.

One of the best driving tips though is that you should never be under the influence of alcohol or drugs while driving. This absolutely destroys your reaction time and impairs your judgment. If you have issue with alcohol, please visit one of these sites for more information:
