Before you hit the roads, make sure your vehicle is in top condition. Regularly check tire pressure, brakes, and fluid levels. Consider investing in a spare tire and know how to change it if needed. Additionally, familiarize yourself with Colorado's unique driving hazards, such as steep grades, snowplows, and wildlife.
Weather Awareness
- Be aware of changing weather conditions, including thunderstorms, heavy rain, and snow. Slow down and use low gear when driving on steep or winding roads.
- Know the signs of approaching winter storms, such as dark skies, gusty winds, and reduced visibility. If possible, plan your route around these areas to avoid getting stranded.
